Full Report:

- “The All-American American” proclaimed that ECW Champion Christian did not beat him at Judgment Day nor at Backlash, and that he wouldn’t leave the squared-circle until he received justice. After ECW interim General Manager Tiffany threatened that if he didn’t back down, he would never get a chance at the belt again, Swagger relented, shoving the emerging Captain Charisma off the ramp as he left the arena. As a result of his actions, the former ECW Champion was told to take the rest of the night off before he got in more trouble, but will Christian be healthy enough to wrestle?

- Christian defeats Paul Burchill:
After trying to shake off Swagger’s damaging cheap shot during his entrance, Christian went on to heroically reign supreme over the tough-as-nails Paul Burchill with the help of the Killswitch.

- Afterward, Captain Charisma took issue with the fact that now he had beaten Jack Swagger twice, and still has unfinished business with Tommy Dreamer. He explained that while giving the ECW Original an opportunity at the Extreme title in Madison Square Garden three weeks ago, Swagger interfered, preventing a definite outcome. And with Dreamer’s contract expiring in less than three weeks – and Dreamer’s promise of retirement if he doesn’t achieve ECW gold – Christian aimed to finish what they started rather quickly. In response, Tiffany decided to grant the champion’s request, officially signing the match for “WWE Superstars” this coming Thursday.

- Jack Swagger is backstage in disbelief. Tiffany tells him to leave.

- Zack Ryder defeats Jobber Adam Green:
Quick match to build up the new star. He wins with the neckbreaker.

- DH Smith is working out backstage and Tyson and Natalya enter. Natalya says the Bulldog would be proud, and Smith arrogantly says he is already better than him!

- Recap of Kozlov destroying Chad Collyer.

- Using a determined mixture of English and Russian, The Moscow Mauler proclaimed that he will continue his vicious “march” through the Land of the Extreme.

- Tommy Dreamer accepts the challenge made earlier.

- DH Smith defeats Finlay:
One week after David Hart Smith shocked the WWE Universe by attacking The Belfast Brawler in his match with Tyson Kidd, the son of The British Bulldog triumphed over Finlay with a devastating high-and-tight suplex. The returning Superstar achieved his edge thanks to a distraction from his fellow Hart Dungeon-trainees, Tyson Kidd & Natalya, allowing him to rattle his tough-as-nails opponent with a shot from Natalya’s shoe. While warming-up for the match earlier in the evening with The Hart Trilogy, Hart Smith made the chilling statement he is better than his father ever was.

Conclusion:
I personally think Tyson Kidd is far more talented than DH Smith, but collectively this group is very promising. If WWE keeps them strong and plays up their technical prowess then I think they can go far. Although he is somewhat of a pretty boy, I see Kidd as a Melenko/Benoit type that could be pushed as a shooter/crippler.

I’m glad Burchill is getting a chance but I think they’ve sucked the life out of him already. On the UK Indy scene he was phenomenal, but now he is bloated and rusty.

  1. Enjoyed the show as ECW in my opinion has some solid wrestling on it.
    Enjoyed the main event, although considering he seems to be using the Powerslam as a signature move I didn’t think much of his Finisher with seems to be not too much more than a belly to back suplex.
