Taped at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Report by: ProWrestling.net

[Q1]A video package recapped the ECW title match on Backlash…In the ring, Christian was introduced and he made his way to the ring in street clothes. Josh Matthews and Matt Stryker welcomed us to ECW on Sci-Fi. Christian posed for the fans in the ring. He got a mic and cut a promo on winning the title. He said it was finally starting to sink in that he had won the ECW Championship. He said, “Before Jack Swagger comes out here and interrupts me, cause let’s face it, we all know he will…” He went on to say this was the greatest moment of his career. He called for Swagger to come out.

Tommy Dreamer’s music hit and he came out in a suit. The crowd chanted “ECW.” Dreamer said for the first time in three months, ECW had a champion that embodied what ECW was all about. Dreamer said he wasn’t out there just to congratulate him. He said he had made a promise to be ECW champion before his contract expired and he only had six weeks left. He said he was in the building that made him love the business to challenge Christian to a title match. Christain said he would do one better and do it tonight in the Mecca of professional wrestling, Madison Square Garden.

Swagger’s music hit and he came out in a sport coat ensemble. He lisped his way through calling Christian a cheater and said it wasn’t fair that he was champion. He said he was going to get his belt back at Judgment Day when he gets his rematch. Tiffany’s music hit and she came out to the stage. She welcomed everyone to ECW and said that Swagger didn’t have the power to stop a title match, only she did. She said tonight there would be an ECW Championship match. Her music hit and Swagger looked pissed and argued with her…Natalya was shown backstage fixing Tyson Kidd’s four pieces of hair. His match is next…[C]

Shore’s Slant: That was kind of all over the place. A few notes though: Christian said winning the WWE third tier championship was the greatest moment of his career? Take that TNA! Is dreamer really going to retire? Really? Swagger will never be taken seriously by the masses with that lisp. Something has to be done. I don’t know what, nor am I making fun of him. I’m just stating my opinion.

[Q2]Back from commercial, Tyson Kidd made his ring entrance. A video recapped his match against Finlay and Hornswoggle last week on Superstars. Finlay was out next.

1.Tyson Kidd w/Natalya defeated Finlay at 10:35. Collar and elbow tie up and Finlay pushed Kidd back to the corner and broke clean. Finlay locked in a head lock and Kidd pushed him to the ropes, only to lose the shoulder tackle contest. Kidd slid to ringside to regroup. He came back in and Finlay kicked him and whipped him into the corner. Finlay charged in and caught a kick to the face. Kidd jumped to the top and came off the ropes, but Finlay caught him and locked in a single leg Boston Crab. Kidd tried an insuguri, but Finlay ducked it and Kidd landed on his face. He stood up and Finlay clotheslined him to the floor. Natalya checked on Kidd into the break…[C]

Back at 5:35, Finlay hit his sitdown splash for two. Kidd got a cheap shot in on Finlay and worked the leg. Kidd locked in several submission holds, including a modified ankle lock and a standing Indian leg lock. Finlay managed to flip out of the ankle lock, but Kidd locked in the standing Indian leg lock. Finlay kicked and punched out, but Kidd hit a knee buster. Finlay half sold and hit a clothesline and then missed a knee drop with the bad leg. Finlay hit an across the knee backbreaker and sold the injury. He tried to pick up Kidd for the Celtic Cross but dropped him due to the knee.

Kidd hit a spinning dropkick that sent Finlay to the floor. He tried to hit a baseball slide, but Finlay hooked him in the apron and beat on him. Finlay rolled Kidd back in the ring. As he climbed in, Natalya ran over and distracted the ref and Finlay. Kidd got the shillelagh and hit Finlay in the bad knee. He rolled him up for the win. Post match, Kidd and Natalya celebrated on the ramp as a video replayed the hot spots and ending…[C]

Shore’s Slant: Wow, ten minutes for Kidd. Very nice. Except he looks like he scraped by. He doesn’t look worthy of the win. Bring on Bourne and let these two go at it. Hopefully Powell’s girlfriend will need him to do something that night too and I’ll get to cover. That match should be great!

[Q3]Back from commercial, and what the hell? Vladimir Kozlov came out in a Russian soldier uniform. He cut a promo. I think. All I caught was, “There is no one in ECW or WWE or the world who can defeat me.” And, “It’s just a matter of time before I achieve global damnation.” I think it was supposed to be domination. His music played and he left…

Backstage, Hurricane Helms was in a suit and interviewed Evan Bourne…

Shore’s Slant: You read that right.

Bourne said the draft brought ECW some new faces and he now had championship aspirations. Paul Burchill and Katie Lea walked up and interrupted. Burchill said he had just left Tiffany’s office and he and Bourne were going to have a rematch on Superstars. He said Bourne’s victory last week was luck and stormed off. Helms threw up his hands and said, “What’s up wid dat?”…Dreamer made his ring entrance; his match is next…[C]

Shore’s Slant: Evan Bourne on Superstars. Good week for me so far.

Back from commercial, Christian made his ring entrance. Old school intros for the title match…

2. Tommy Dreamer defeated Christian by disqualification at 13:53. Christian remains the ECW Champion. The men touched hands to start. Collar and elbow tie up into the corner and a clean break from Christian. Dreamer locked in a reverse waist lock that Christian slipped out of into an arm bar. Dreamer pushed off and won the shoulder tackle battle. They ran the ropes and Christian hit a hip toss that Dreamer rolled through and locked in an arm bar. Christian fought out and the back and forth went wild. Both men reversed reversals.

[Q4]Dreamer whipped Christian into the corner. Christian slipped through the ropes and hit his flip kick thing. He teased the Kill Switch, but Dreamer slipped out and teased the DDT but Christian slipped out. Dreamer ducked a clothesline and tried a backslide for two. Dreamer hit a powerslam out of the corner for two. Christian stood up and bitch slapped Dreamer. Dreamer fell and tried to recover into the commercial…

Back at the 7:37 mark and Dreamer whipped Christian to the corner and charged in for a spear. Christian side stepped and ran Dreamer into the post. Christian locked in an arm bar. Dreamer fought out and ducked a clothesline attempt for a DDT attempt. Christian slipped out and hit a single arm DDT. Christian went to the top and hit a huge missile dropkick for a near fall. Christian went back to the arm bar.

Dreamer made it back to his feet at the men fought to the corner. Dreamer hit the superplex for two. Christian attacked the arm and whipped Dreamer. Dreamer kicked Christian to reverse the back flip. He clotheslined Christian and they both went over the top. Both men made it back in at nine. Christian went to the top and jumped off, but Dreamer punched him in the gut. Dreamer hit a reverse DDT for two. Christian went to the second rope and hit a sunset flip, but Dreamer dropped to his knees for two. Christian pushed and rolled Dreamer over for two. Dreamer got the inside cradle for two. Dreamer tied Christian to the Tree of Woe and went to the opposite corner. He hulked up and Jack Swagger ran in and tackled Dreamer, causing the DQ.

Swagger kicked Christian a few times and then hit a belly to belly on Dreamer. He picked Dreamer up and tossed him into Christian who was still tied to the Tree of Woe. He untied Christian and hit his gut-wrench powerbomb on him. Swagger’s music hit and he celebrated in the ring to end the show…[C]

Shore’s Slant: Well, that can only mean one thing, Triple Threat Match for the ECW Championship at Judgment Day. The match was fine. Dreamer gave all he could to be 40 lbs overweight and 40 years over age. I hated the run in, but I understand it. Two long matches tonight plus some really weird promos with Helms and Stalin…uh…Kozlov. Watch out for World Damnation. Thanks for reading. See you Thursday on Superstars!
