10 Thoughts on ECW – 05.12.09

Reviews, Shows, TV Shows

01. Tiffany just isn’t very comfortable on camera. She just seems to be reciting her lines from her memory instead of out and out performing them. She’ll need to improve soon or I can see her being replaced readily.

02. I wish Mark Henry was more centered around the World Title scene. The guy can pull off some seriously impressive things with his physicality and given more time, I think Henry and Christian could do some pretty cool things.

03. Dreamer sucks.

04. I liked seeing Henry drop down on Dreamer’s arm. If he could incorporate body work into his repetoire, I could easily see the quality of matches increasing exponentially.

05. Shane Helms is halfway interesting as an interviewer but he doesn’t seem to be as entertaining as he was when he was the Hurricane.

06. Tyson Kidd’s voice is entirely douche-ish. But it works for his character.

07. Finlay/Kidd was about as great as their encounter last week. It was fast paced, hard-hitting and all around good wrestling. Kidd needs to pick himself off the mat a bit faster but other than that, it was damn fine TV wrestling.

08. D.H. Smith made his debut and looked impressive. I really wish that down the line Teddy Hart debuts with the company and there can be a Legacy/Hart Foundation feud. The thought it gives me the drool.

09. Christian did well on the mic. I really wish the company would give him more and more time speaking. He really shines and gets the crowd going.

10. Swagger is really going for the 1960s rat pack look and it WORKS. Far more than it did for the Mean Street Posse. The video package Christian aired wasn’t great but the punch-line by Christian saying he just liked making Swagger look stupid. Hilarious. :)
