Happy Square Root Day, everybody! Tonight’s card sees Kane in action, Mark Henry taking on Santino in a Money in the Bank qualifier, and a huge six man main event!
Welcome once again to the latest edition of JT’s Random Randomness. This week is kinda special (I think) because it’s an all wrestling edition. So withoug further ado here we go: (more…)
Ok, ok, I technically didn’t oversleep on Tuesday. I just passed on watching ECW to cheer on my beloved Buffalo Sabres as they took on the Anaheim Ducks (and you have no idea how hard it was for me to not just type “The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim”). Sadly, the Sabres lost 3-2. The plan was to watch ECW at some point today, but I went out early and fell asleep when I came home. I didn’t wake up until 10 minutes after I normally leave for work, so I still haven’t seen the show. So, here I am with results in hand. I’m not going to give a lot of insight to this episode, but only because I haven’t seen it and the results aren’t very detailed that I happen to have.
Mark Henry def. DJ Gabriel – Thanks for coming, DJ. Now get your Alex Wright wannabe ass back to FCW.
Tyson Kidd def. Some Local Jobber – The dungeon has made many a championship wrestler. Beating guys who aren’t important enough to mention their names more than once isn’t exactly how you go about winning championships, though.
Tommy Dreamer def. Paul Burchill – If this were the real ECW, this match would probably be a main event, probably would’ve lasted longer, Tommy would’ve still gotten the win, but with the assist from a telephone and some chicken wire (Tommy was like the MacGuyver of pro wrestling) instead of The Boogeyman, and Katie Lea probably would have eaten a piledriver.
Jack Swagger def. Christian to retain the ECW Championship – Swagger and Christian have each defeated each other in singles competition, Swagger getting his win when the title was on the line. Hmm. I wonder what they’re going to do with the ECW Championship at WrestleMania 25?
Today is a great day for BoredWrestlingFan – we’ve likely had our most articles posted in one day, what with the three earlier and now the No Way Out posting actually going up on the day of the show!
It was a unique PPV to say the least, and whether or not I like the event in general is irrelevant. What matters is that WWE put on a great show with a surprise here and there, and gives credible reasons for some of the rumored WrestleMania matches to happen.
I overslept last night, and decided “ah, screw it, I’ll just fake my way through an ECW on SciFi review this week.” I really wish I hadn’t, because I just can’t do it justice, given that this happened:
That’s right, kiddies, the Instant Classic, Captain Charisma, Christian has returned to the WWE! While I’m disappointed that he’s a face on ECW rather than a heel on SmackDown, it’s still exciting to watch!
I also missed The Miz defeating Tommy Dreamer, Tyson Kidd, who trained in the Hart family Dungeon, debuted with Natalya by his side and defeated local boy Bao Nguyen, and Christian defeating Jack Swagger with help from Finlay and Hornswoggle.
From now on, I run all my errands on Wednesdays so I can get to sleep earlier and wake up in time for ECW!
Jack Swagger takes on Finlay in non title action, tonight on ECW! What? I’m half asleep and don’t feel like coming up with anything more clever than that, dammit!
Well, normally around here I do long, detailed reviews of the WWE shows (and Drowgoddess hooks you up with TNA Wrestling event coverage), but I’ve been too busy to get around to a proper review of the Royal Rumble and last night’s RAW. Since I watched both shows, and I’ve done it too many times over the course of the last 7 months, I’m not going to subject you to another “here are the results from whatever-wrestling-website.com” post. Instead, I’m going to give you the results of the shows, and my thoughts on the matches and other segments.
Ready? Draw yourself number 27 and follow me to the other side of the jump! (more…)
