411's ECW on SyFy Report 11.10.09

Christian defends the ECW Title against William Regal in Regal's home country!

Welcome to the ECW on SyFy! As always, I am Michael Bauer, your 411 ECW Re-capper. And tonight we are in England, with one huge ECW Title match.

But we start with WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas introducing the Abraham Washington show. Washington's entrance makes me hate him even more, as done the Applause sign. He hypes up how huge going international is for him and Tony says the people in England talk funny. Abraham says it is because of their jacked up teeth and wonders how that is possible with free healthcare. He admits to taking the cheap heat (FINALLY!), but he thought it was funny. The fans yell at him to "Go home" but they finally cheer when he mentions William Regal. He then brings out his guest, Yoshi Tatsu, who is in a suit this week. Interesting how many cheers he didn't really get. Yoshi says his English isn't good, but he is nervous. Yoshi goes into the "Thank you" routine with Abraham and Tony just laughs until Washington shuts him up. Washington then asks for Yoshi's expert analysis on the title match tonight. Yoshi says Regal is tough, but Christian will win. Washington didn't understand him and they broke into the greatest line ever!

Yoshi: Don't you understand the words that are coming out my mouth?
Washington: Man, nobody understand the words coming out of your mouth.

AWESOME! Washington asks if Yoshi thinks he is Jackie Chan. Yoshi says if that is true, then he is stupid Chris Tucker. Yoshi follows with his Tony Atlas impression, I guess. Washington closes out the show and bows to Washington, before waving to the crowd after Abraham leaves.

We then go to a video package for Christian defending the ECW Title against William Regal tonight, going back all these months, before we head to commercial.

Paul Burchill (with Katie Lea) vs. Goldust

Paul gets a mixed reaction here, a little worse than I expected. Now, the match with him and the Hurricane is next week? What's the matter? The Hurricane doesn't have a passport while Gregory Helms does? The bell rings and Goldust gets a shoulder block and a quick cover. Burchill gets flipped over after an arm wrench, but connects with a knee to the gut. Burchill has his whip reversed and gets hit with a butt bump by Goldust. Goldust backs Burchill into the corner, but Burchill without a clean break. Goldust misses a charge in the corner and gets his ribs smashed into the ring post. Burchill rams the ribs again into the post after a low dropkick and gets a two count. Burchill locks in the body scissors, but Goldust escapes with elbows. Burchill up first and hits a shoulder to the ribs and gets a near fall. Burchill drives the knee into the back of Goldust, but Goldust fights back with a series of shots to the gut and clotheslines. Goldust tries for the bulldog, but he gets thrown off. Burchill puts Goldust in the ribs and looks to end it, but then…

"STAND BACK! THERE'S A HURRICANE COMING THROUGH!"

Hurricane runs out from the back and distracts Burchill as he just runs around the ring. Goldust catches Burchill from behind and hits the Final Cut and scores the three count at 3;50!

Winner: Goldust

Match Rating: *1/2 The Hurricane coming out was not needed and Burchill really should have won here.

We see highlights from last week of Zack Ryder losing to Shelton Benjamin, thanks to his own distraction in Rosa. He gets a rematch this week on Superstars. Backstage, Zack runs into Rosa and says that no matter what anyone says, Rosa is more than welcome to be in his corner. Rosa walks off and we get another Zack Ryder dream sequence about him and Rosa before we go to commercial.

Backstage, William Regal is gloating to Tiffany about how great it would be when Regal becomes ECW Champion for her status as General Manager. Tiffany wants to gets off to as fresh start, regardless of Regal being champion.

Vance Archer vs. Jason Blackwell

Jason is from Sheffield… he was from Sheffield. We get some pre taped comments that his opponent is about to find out who Vance Archer is. The bell rings Vance just kicks the kid and drills him with a spinning flapjack. He picks up the kid and taunts him, but Jason gets a headlock and is just thrown off. Vance chokes Jason in the corner with his boot and hits a belly to belly suplex. Vance with a scoop slam into the reverse DDT and he ends it at the 1:15 mark.

Winner: Vance Archer

Match Rating: ½* Believe it or not, I thought last week was better.

Backstage, Christian has a serious look on his face was he walks towards the ring. The main event is next.

ECW Championship Match –William Regal vs. Christian ©

William Regal gets a pretty good ovation tonight, as you would imagine. But I think Christian got just as good of one. We get the super special ring announcing, but I swear we need a better announcer than this girl for it. The bell rings and there is still 20 minutes until 11 PM on the East Coast. This is a good sign. They lockup and Christian backs Regal into the corner and we get a clean break. They lockup again and Regal gets an arm wrench, but Christian reverses.

Christian gets a near fall and snap mares Regal over, going to the headlock. Regal escapes and whips Christian chest first into the turnbuckle. Christian gets decked with a series of left hands and setup on the top turnbuckle. Christian fires back and hits the high body press for a two count. Regal goes to the second rope for a breath, but Christian jumps on his back not once, but twice before jumping over and hitting the Bossman punch. Christian back up top, but Regal catches him and gets fought off once, but Regal stops it from happening a second time. Regal grabs Christian and hits a suplex double underhook butterfly suplex! Damn! Regal crawls into the cover and gets a two count as we go to another commercial at 9:30.

Regal with a high knee lift and another new fall. Christian escapes a sleeper hold as the crowd is now totally behind Regal. Christian charges Regal, but he gets drilled with a huge forearm shiver.

Christian gets to the corner and Regal comes over, but Christian leaps up into the springboard sunset flip. Regal drops down for a near fall and goes to a Full Nelson. Christian is up for a second, but Regal applies more pressure to put him back down. Christian up again and he escapes with a kick. Regal hits a series of forearms to the back of the head, but Christian hits the KillSwitch out of nowhere! Christian crawls into the cover, but Regal kicks out at two! Regal hits a kick to the face from his knees and gets another near fall. Christian p quickly though and hits a running low clothesline for two. Regal smashed into the turnbuckle, but he blocks the tornado DDT and drills Christian with a haymaker to send the champ to the floor.
