Last week on ECW, Colin Delaney helped Armando Estrada win his ECW contract in a match against Tommy Dreamer, and was put into an Extreme Rules match with the Innovator of Violence this week for his troubles. Also, The Miz and John Morrison insulted both Champion and his SummerSlam challenger, leading to a match being signed pitting Miz and Morrison against the unlikely team of ECW Champion Mark Henry and Matt Hardy. Matt Striker and Todd Grisham called the action for the second straight week.

ECW is getting back on track. The WWE knows what works and what doesn’t, and they’re straying away from the boring stuff that they had done for a couple of weeks post-draft.
Last night’s episode featured a live edition of The Dirt Sheet, a tag match featuring Ricky Ortiz and Evan Bourne taking on Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely, and Armando Estrada getting his last chance to earn an ECW contract, taking on Tommy Dreamer.

Sorry this post is extremely late today guys, I actually had most of it written last night and was expecting to have it up pretty early today, but then some douchebag didn’t show up for work, so I ended up stuck there for another two hours. In any event, last night’s show was pretty decent, compared to other post-draft episodes of ECW on Sci-Fi, but if you missed it, unless you’re really bored you can probably skip the X-stream on WWE.com.

I tuned in to ECW last night, and died a little inside. As a fan of the original ECW, to see a new belt – especially one so hideous – replace the original ECW Championship, it kills me. You might as well fire Tazz, Tommy Dreamer, and Little Guido while you’re at it, because the ECW I knew is one step closer to being 100% dead. The worst part about it was, last night’s show was in Philly. I miss Paul Heyman and Joey Styles. I miss the hardcore style, and I miss the old ECW Championship belt. As soon as the words “WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT” became adorned on the ECW title, that was the absolute end of the ECW I knew and loved. Especially since the show I’ve been watching on Tuesday nights for the last four weeks has pretty much sucked.
Whatever, I’ve got a job to do – ECW results and my thoughts, after the jump.

ECW used to be the best show of the week, every week. Now, I barely feel like reviewing it. I’m not going extremely in depth this week, but here are the things that bug me: Finlay and Hornswoggle apparently getting another tag title shot; guys changing their names after their debut (Atlas Ortiz is now Ricky Ortiz), and Hall of Famers making heel turns on C shows.
Whatever – the review, after the jump.

I’ll be perfectly honest. I didn’t pay much attention at all to ECW last night, and there’s a good reason for that. The show that I’ve said on numerous occasions is consistently the best wrestling program of the week lost three of the guys who gave it that distinction, as they’ve moved on to bigger and better things. C.M. Punk is now RAW’s World Heavyweight Champion, while Kofi Kingston is right behind him with the Intercontinental Title, and Shelton Benjamin should be re-debuting on SmackDown this Friday. That’s not to say that ECW doesn’t have the potential to still be the best show of the week – but it’s going to have to do better than last night’s show, which couldn’t hold my interest for very long. An interesting note is that all of the talent who wrestled on last night’s show were ECW Superstars, so perhaps the talent exchange with SmackDown went away with the draft. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
The results and my thoughts, after the jump.
