Full Recap:
- Tyler Reks def. local competitor:
Tyler Reks, who arrived on ECW as part of the New Superstar Initiative, returned to action in the Land of the Extreme this week. The Laguna Beach, Calif., native has come to Tuesday nights to prove he’s not just a laid back, surfer dude, and after his victory this week over a local competitor with a Springboard Missile Dropkick, he’s proving that.

- Vladimir Kozlov def. local jobber:
The Moscow Mauler inflicted his brutal form of punishment against another local competitor this week on ECW. After Kozlov’s Iron Curtain descended upon his opponent to end the match, Ezekiel Jackson emerged and also attacked Kozlov’s prey, prompting another staredown between Jackson and Kozlov. Not to be outdone in the game of one-upmanship, the Sambo master picked up the local competitor and hit him again with his finisher, and exited the ring without looking back. When will these two Superstars finally clash in the Land of the Extreme?

- An attack on Gregory Helms:
Before his match against Yoshi Tatsu, Paul Burchill attacked Gregory Helms backstage, accusing him of being the Hurricane.

“Why don’t you run along and put your Underoos back on and let the grown ups speak?” Burchill taunted, and then attacked Helms, knocking him to the ground.

- Yoshi Tatsu def. Paul Burchill (Disqualification):
After an introduction by ECW’s newest Divas, Nikki and Brie Bella, Yoshi Tatsu faced off against Paul Burchill. But Burchill’s devious sister, Katie Lea, interfered in the match, causing Tatsu to win by disqualification. After the match, Paul Burchill continued his assault on the Japanese Superstar until Hurricane appeared. The masked Superstar climbed to the top rope and leaped toward a stunned Burchill, as Tatsu looked on in shock. Now that Hurricane has returned to the Land of the Extreme, what will this mysterious Superstar do next?

- Shelton Benjamin def. Zack Ryder:
Last week’s “Abraham Washington Show” exploded into couch-flipping chaos when Zack Ryder and Shelton Benjamin argued about who was the more entertaining Superstar, and Ryder took a cheap shot at Benjamin. This week, Benjamin got retribution against the cocky, brash Long Islander when The Gold Standard hit Paydirt on Ryder for the victory. But is this the last the WWE Universe has seen of the rivalry between these two skilled ECW Superstars?

- William Regal def. Tommy Dreamer:
After Washington announced Regal is the No. 1 Contender to the ECW Championship, The British Brawler faced off against Tommy Dreamer. Still ailing from the brutal Extreme Rules ECW Title Match he competed in the week before, Dreamer fell to the ruthless Regal, who focused on the ECW Original’s wounded left arm. Even after his win, Regal continued his attack with the Regal Stretch on Dreamer, until ECW Champion Christian emerged to chase Regal from the ring and help his friend, Dreamer. But will 2008 King of the Ring winner Regal have what it takes to defeat ECW Champion Christian in the future?
