Full Report:
- Goldust vs. Sheamus (Double count-out):
The ongoing rivalry between Goldust and Sheamus intensified this week when they met again in Extreme action. But these Superstars’ differences still haven’t been resolved, as their hard-fought contest ended in a double count-out when neither competitor returned to the ring before the referee’s 10-count. How will The Bizarre One and The Celtic Warrior seek revenge on one another next?
- Tyler Reks & Yoshi Tatsu def. Shelton Benjamin & Zack Ryder:
Just who is the more entertaining Superstar – Shelton Benjamin or Zack Ryder? The Gold Standard was showing off his impersonation skills to The Bella Twins when Ryder interrupted. These two enemies weren’t able to put their differences aside for an evening when they met Tyler Reks & Yoshi Tatsu in tag team action.
- William Regal def. ECW Champion Christian:
William Regal bragged to Captain Charisma and the WWE Universe that it was he who united the two unstoppable physical specimens, Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov. Rather than letting them continue their game of one-upmanship week after week, Regal united the Guyanese Superstar and the Russian Sambo Master with himself, and Englishman, forming a diverse trio he said cannot be stopped. And while two days earlier Christian defeated Regal in a record-shattering eight seconds at SummerSlam to retain his ECW Championship, Tuesday night on ECW on Syfy, Captain Charisma fell to the angry, aggressive British Brawler.
While Regal’s associates watched the match from ringside, Christian slapped Kozlov and returned to the ring, ready to hit Regal with the Killswitch. But Regal countered and tossed Captain Charisma into Kozlov, who was waiting with a vicious headbutt which nearly knocked the ECW Champion to the mat. The British Brawler capitalized on his competitor’s state and hit him with a running Knee Trembler, earning him the win.
With this victory, Regal secures another ECW Championship Match. When will the No. 1 contender have his chance at Christian’s Extreme gold? And how will Jackson and Kozlov factor into Regal’s plot to become ECW Champion?

Watching ECW last night give me endless scenarios in which, if WWE’s creative team was intelligent enough (which, btw, they aren’t) they would see the potential of true rivalries that could exist if only they would take the time and think outside the box. Seeing the main event with William “Bill” Regal vs Christian, I couldn’t help but envision Ezekiel Jackson and Mark Henry as a dominant tag team. They would crush Show and Jericho, and probably be unstoppable. Also a Goldust aka Dustin Rhodes vs Cody Rhodes match would be awesome! They hinted at that earlier in the year. Why not just do it. It would be cool to have The American Dream’s son’s duke it out and have Dusty in the middle of it all having to choose sides.
Probably won’t happen (WWE just isn’t that creative anymore) but it would’ve been sweet if it did.
If I have to see ONE MORE MATCH between Goldust and Sheamus I might just have to poke an eye out. What, are there like 9 wrestlers on the entire ECW roster? Seems like every time they hit a city they invade the local gym/wrestling school for someone for Kozlov or Jackson to lay waste to. Pathetic.
True, they could do with a few more wrestlers, but Goldust I think is highly underrated. He’s doing his job though, putting over new stars and teaching them how to go.
