"President Obama said when he first became president, that it was time for a change, and last night on ECW, there WAS a change, and I'm referring to the change in the ECW Broadcast Team as Byron Saxton joined Josh Mathews on commentary last night. Saxton and Mathews worked together on Florida Championship Wrestling, and from what I saw last night, they really worked very well together.
"At the start of last night's ECW, it was the Abraham Washington Show, and his guest was the ECW General Manager, Tiffany. She talked about how ECW had a huge impact at the Bragging Rights PPV, with such stars as John Morrison, Kofi Kingston and the Miz getting their big break on ECW and that next year, ECW is going to make a bigger impact. Washington brought up the fact about Sheamus being traded to Raw. Tiffany mentioned that if he wanted to leave ECW for good, that was okay with her.
"But he had one more match last night on ECW, and that was with the Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin. For weeks, Sheamus has been calling Benjamin's WWE career nothing but mediocre. Benjamin has been Intercontinental Champion, United States Champion and WWE Tag Team Champion with Charlie Haas back in 2002. That's a lot more than what I could say about Sheamus. It was one last chance for the Gold Standard to get some payback for everything that he has done to him.
"What a fast paced match this was between these 2 superstars. What the Gold Standard wanted to do was send Sheamus out of ECW with a going away present, and that was sending him to Raw with a huge defeat, but unfortunately, it was the jacked-up Irish Ronald McDonald that Abraham Washington referred to, Sheamus, that came out on top.
"Look out Raw locker room, you have got a huge dose of irish brutality coming at you. Don't take this man lightly.
"Meanwhile, back in the locker room, Rosa Mendes was talking to Gregory Helms about how excited she was to be in ECW, and the 2 were interrupted by Paul Burchill and his sister, Katie Lea
"Let's just say that the Ripper issued a challenge to the Hurricane for next week, and Gregory said that he will be there.
"Meanwhile, back on The Abraham Washington Show, as Tiffany and Abe were talking, they were rudely interrupted by William Regal and his Ruthless Round Table.
"Regal said, and I quote-- 'I implore you give me what I deserve, please give me an ECW Championship match.'
"Tiffany stood her ground and said, and I quote-- 'Mr. Regal, you have repeatedly asked me for an ECW Championship match and my answer has still not changed..... no! You are not getting another ECW Championship match tonight. Perhaps you will never get another ECW Championship Match.
YOU GO, TIFFANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"This made Regal very very mad, as he was trying to destroy the Abraham Washington show set.
"Yoshi Tatsu is the one that got an ECW Championship match as he defeated Zack Ryder last week, and he was the one that challenged Christian for the title.
"Jake, my friend, I hope that you are reading this, as I say to you that last night's ECW Championship match is worthy of being a match of the year candidate.
"Before the match, Christian told Savanna that Tatsu is worthy of being the number 1 contender, and his work in the ring truly showed That. I mean, Tatsu really took the fight to Christian and I so agree with him when he said that one day, Yoshi Tatsu will be a champion someday, but not last night. Tatsu's high energy effort wasn't enough as Christian put him away with the Killswitch to get the win and retain the ECW Championship.
"Christian in sportsman-like fashion attended to Tatsu, but out of nowhere, here come both Kozlov and Jackson, doing a number on the ECW Champion.
"How is Tiffany going to react to this?"
No idea, but I hope Tiffany takes swift action against Regal's actions next week. More blogging still to come!:D
