10 Thoughts on ECW – 08.04.09

Reviews, Shows, TV Shows

01. I don’t care what anyone says. Abraham Washington is awesome. He is the best talker in a long time and the only thing holding him back is a PG rating and horrid writing from the creative team.

02. Shelton Benjamin cost himself a face turn and instead got Zack Ryder over as a face by doing a horrible job of singing Hootie & The Blowfish. Who writes this shit up? Abraham Washington had nothing to do with it. And the smurf stuff? Fire whoever wrote that.

03. Zack Ryder is freakin’ awesome. His match with Christian last week was fantastic and his promo work tonight was awesome in presenting himself as a believable character to us. Woo! Woo! Woo!

04. “Oh yeah? You come out here on my show and disrespect me, ya fake Dennis Rodman reject?” – This was classic. Best putdown of the year in professional wrestling.

05. What I really liked about the segment was that each character was out for himself. It wasn’t like Washington and Ryder teamed up. Each guy was for himself. Really, Shelton Benjamin should have just refused to sing and just have attacked Zack Ryder and ended the segment by saying, “I sing with my fists.”

06. Jackson and Kozlov would make an awesome tag team. In the long run, I see Jackson here for a while. The Rock Bottom finishers are lame though.

07. Sheamus tried to work a slow style. It didn’t get over.

08. Christian was MESSED up by the end of the title match. His matches with Ryder and Dreamer this month have established him as the premiere Champion in the WWE.

09. Dreamer sucks.

10. Man this match had a lot of sick bumps. Definitely seek it out!
