Posted by Michael Bauer on 10.13.2009

Christian and Yoshi battle Regal and Ryder in the main event and did I just see Burchill actually get a win?

Welcome to the ECW on SyFy! As always, I am Michael Bauer, your 411 ECW Re-capper. And holy crap, they already got Rosa on the opening video.


Ezekiel Jackson (with Vladimir Kozlov) vs. Goldust

Oh joy, half of last week's Tag Team match. Goldust has victories in ECW? Since when? I don't remember any of them. Anyway, the bell rings and they lockup with Goldust getting a headlock. But he gets shoved off the rope and hit with a back elbow. Goldust avoids an elbow drop and uses his quickness to slip out and hit a knee to the chest of Jackson, before hitting a clothesline from the second rope for a two count. Goldust fires away with a few right hands and comes off the ropes, but runs right into a clothesline. Goldust sent into the corner and driven down with punches. Jackson hits a running knee and gets a two count. Jackson goes to the bear hug with his 23 inch biceps. Goldust punches out, but again walks into a forearm shiver for a two count. Jackson goes hind and locks in an underhook submission, followed by a back suplex for another 2 count. He goes back quickly to the same submission and Goldust tries to kick Jackson's leg out. Goldust sent into the corner and Jackson leaps into Goldust's arms… and Goldust catches him! But Jackson crashes on Goldust for two. Goldust nails Jackson with a huge boot to the face and his uppercut. Jackson kicks out after two following a bulldog, but Goldust follows with a Flatliner. Goldust heads up top and Kozlov distracts him, allowing Jackson to kick the rope and trip up Goldust. Jackson then slams down Goldust with the modified Rock Bottom to get the three count at 5:50.

Winner: Ezekiel Jackson

Match Rating: *1/4 I was decent for what it was worth, but far from a good effort.

After the bell, Kozlov drives down Goldust with the Iron Curtain and they walk off. We then go to the controversy for the ending of the Regal vs. Tatsu match, with his foot under the rope. We also see the ending of the Christian vs. Zack Ryder match and the chaos Regal's Roundtable caused.

After the break, Ryder catches up with Regal and says he thinks Regal is threatened by him and how qualified he is for a title match. Ryder gets cut off by Jackson and Kozlov coming from behind him. Regal says that Ryder is lucky they didn't do more to him and that he is willing to go through with this match because he wants to win.

Sheamus comes down to the ring, but doesn't have a match apparently. He grabs a microphone and talks about his match with Shelton Benjamin from Superstars, which he lost by DQ. Sheamus says that it doesn't do any justice. We see clips of Sheamus beating down Shelton and getting the DQ because he didn't break at a five count. Sheamus tells the story of Shelton coming to the WWE 10 years with his great skill and how he has done nothing with it. Sheamus says that Shelton has the greatest ability he has ever seen, but he has never been to the top of the mountain. Sheamus plans on using Benjamin as a stepping stone, knocking him out of the way on his way to the top.

Backstage, Paul Burchill walks with Katie Lea to the ring, on his way to face the resident super hero next.

Hurricane has the whip reversed, but goes up top and hits a Hurricarana for two. Burchill drives Hurricane with a single arm DDT for another two. Hurricane places up top and Burchill tries for the superplex. Hurricane fights out and Burchill gets dropped with a gordbuster. Hurricane flies with a cross body and only gets two. Burchill slips out of the Eye of the Hurricane and shoves Hurricane into the corner.

Burchill connects with a Jackknife and sure enough gets a win on ECW with the pinfall at 7:30!

Back from the break and we get a video package for Randy Orton vs. John Cena.

Yoshi Tatsu is warming up and Christian walks in to ask if he is ready. Yoshi says that he is focused and nervous. Yoshi speaks Japanese about why he is nervous. Christian says that he meant it last week when he said Yoshi deserves to be #1 contender. He then tries to get the last thank you by distracting him with Ichiro, but Yoshi doesn't fully fall for it and gets the last one in anyway.
