ECW Preview for January 23, 2007 (Plus News on Taping Change)

News

ECW.com has posted a preview for ECW on SciFi:

ECW.com has learned that ECW on Sci Fi will be headlined by Lashley as he battles the rugged, smash-mouth Alabaman Hardcore Holly in an Extreme Rules Match. As announced on ECW.com last week, Lashley is scheduled to defend the ECW World Title at the Royal Rumble against Test – the man who battered the champion with his own title last week.

Can Lashley even make it to the Rumble after this contest with the relentless Holly? Will Test strike again, just days before his championship bout on Sunday? How far will Test go to gain what he thinks is rightfully his?

Also, Kelly Kelly promised the return of Kelly’s Exposé next week. Of course, shortly afterward, Matt Striker filled Knox’s former role when he interrupted the sneak preview in order to educate her on the distraction she is. She got even though, when she diverted Striker’s attention by taking off her top during his match, allowing CM Punk to cover him up. Will Kelly be able to bring the ECW audience the first full edition of Kelly’s Exposé?

“The Alpha Male” Marquis Cor Von roared into ECW on Sci Fi in dominating fashion. What does he have in store as he moves from the Animal Kingdom to the chaotic Land of the Extreme? According to Cor Von, anything he wants.

Don’t miss ECW on Sci Fi as it kicks into high gear on Tuesday night in preparation for the brand’s first Royal Rumble. It all happens at 10/9 CT.

According to WrestlingObserver.com, this week’s ECW will be taped before Smackdown on Tuesday in Mobile, AL, rather than air live after the SD tapings. WWE will continue to use a few-hour tape delay when possible. West Coast shows will likely still air live due to the timezone difference.

Also on ECW.com is Elijah Burke’s latest commentary, where he asks for your comments at ECWHOH (at) yahoo (dot) com.
