411's ECW on Sci-Fi Report 03.03.09

Kane and The Boogeyman... words can simply not describe that.

Welcome to the ECW on Sci-Fi! As always, I am Michael Bauer, your 411 ECW Re-capper.

We open with clips from last week's Christian vs. Jack Swagger ECW Title match, before going to the opening video. Todd Grisham and Matt Striker at ringside as they hype up tonight's Main Event of Swagger, Miz, and Morrison vs. Finlay, Christian, and Tommy Dreamer.

Kane vs. Boogeyman

This match is simply to hype See No Evil on Sci-Fi, which was a sickening movie. And the Boogeyman is just sickening. And Kane might be the first person yet to even flinch at the Boogeyman. But he looks a little disturbed as the bell rings. Kane laughs as he looks at the worms. Boogeyman hands him some and Kane decks him with an uppercut. Kane beats down The Boogeyman in the corner and hits a basement dropkick for two as Grisham quotes Two-Face. Kane hits a powerslam, but Boogeyman dodges the top rope clothesline. Boogeyman hits a huge splash in the corner, but eats a huge boot to the face. Boogeyman on the apron and he slings Kane's neck on the top rope. Boogeyman goes up top and he leaps into the waiting hand of Kane. GOZZLE! CHOKESLAM! Kane gets the three count at 2:05.

Winner: Kane

Match Rating: ½* Ugh. That was just brutal.

They hype our Money in the Bank qualifier, which is next, before going to commercial.

Money in the Bank Qualifier – Mark Henry (w. Tony Atlas) vs. Santino Marella (w. Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendez)

Mark Henry in the Money in the Bank match does not sound right. Then again… it could be Santino. Santino has a microphone and he puts over Henry's strength, but puts down his physique. He says he could have been Mr. Italy or a lifeguard on Baywatch. He could have saved hundreds of people, but nobody can save Mark Henry. HA! The bell rings and Santino runs into a bear splash, which drives Santino to the floor. Henry gets distracted by Beth on the floor. Santino back in and he attacks with no effect. Santino off the ropes and he leaps right into Mark Henry… and a World's Strongest Slam! Mark Henry gets the three count at 1:00 and to quote Todd Grisham, "That was easy!"

Winner: Mark Henry

Match Rating: ¼* All that proved is that the mouth of Beth Phoenix had more of an effect on Mark Henry than Santino's fists.

We come back and it is hype video for Evan Bourne time.

We then go to "The Dirty Awards" which is hosted by Miz and Morrison. Evan Bourne wins the Biggest Virgin award over DJ Gabriel and Festus. HA! And of course, they win all of their good awards and just hype The Dirt Sheet.

We go to a Raw Rebound with the Orton/HHH saga continuing with lawyers and a sparking challenge from Triple H.

Alicia Fox (w. DJ Gabriel) vs. Natalya (w. Tyson Kidd)

Alicia and DJ dance down to the ring as we go to commercial. We come back to them still dancing until Jim Neidhart's daughter comes out. The bell rings and they lock up and Natalya shoves her down. Alicia get a side headlock takedown, but Natalya reverses. Alicia elbows out and whips Natalya before hitting a dropkick. Natalya decks Fox with a forearm and catches Alicia in the corner attempting a leapfrog. Alicia gets bodyslammed before being locked in the Octopus Stretch. Fox arm drags out, but gets drilled with a kick to the gut. Alicia catches Natalya running in and splits over into a roll up for two. Alicia tries a clothesline, but Natalya ducks. Natalya catches Alicia leaping and locks in a very high torque sharpshooter, forcing Alicia to tap out at 3:20. After the bell, Tyson Kidd attacks DJ Gabriel, but Gabriel drops Kidd on the top rope and uppercuts him to the floor.

Winner: Natalya

Match Rating: *1/4 Impressive work out of Alicia Fox, but she was over classed and it showed.

We get last night's video for Bill Watts being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Jack Swagger, John Morrison, & The Miz vs. Christian, Tommy Dreamer, Finlay

For once, all the entrances before we go to commercial. I can't tell if Finlay or Christian got a bigger pop. Hornswoggle ducks under the ring as the bell rings and Dreamer starts with Swagger. Swagger quickly tags out to The Miz. Miz fires away on Dreamer, but Dreamer gets a neckbreaker and tags in Finlay. Finlay with an uppercut and an arm wrench into a single leg takedown for two. Miz with an elbow to the gut and he dumps Finlay to the floor. Finlay catches Miz coming in for a baseball slide by using the apron. Morrison comes over and Hornswoggle appears. AIR MIDGET! Miz and Morrison are down as we go to commercial at 2:10.

Back at 5:25 and Finlay works on the leg of The Miz before Christian is tagged in. Christian pounds on The Miz and hits a spinning heel kicks for two. Dreamer tagged back in and he drops an elbow on Miz for a two count. Miz goes to the eyes and tags in Morrison, but he walks into an arm drag. Dreamer hits a huge slam on Morrison and goes up top, but Dreamer hits a leaping roundhouse kick to send Dreamer to the floor. Morrison pounds away and Jack Swagger is tagged in. Dreamer thrown into the turnbuckle hard as the crowd is all over him. Miz tagged back in and he stomps away on Dreamer in the corner. Miz gets a two count and locks in a chin lock. Dreamer backs Miz into the corner, but Miz bulldogs Dreamer into the opposite corner. Tag to Morrison and a double backdrop connects for a two count. Swagger tagged in and Dreamer kicks out again after being decked. Swagger with a go behind and Dreamer elbows up. Dreamer gets a sunset flip for two, but Swagger nails a belly to belly suplex for two. Swagger tries for the leaping splash, but Dreamer gets the knees up. Morrison tagged in, Dreamer breaks, and Christian is tagged in. Christian lights up Morrison and hits a back body drop. Morrison throws Christian into Dreamer and misses the enziguri. Miz charges, but Christian hits the inverted DDT. Christian tries for the Killswitch, but Morrison shoves off. Christian in the corner and he hits a huge Tornado DDT. Dreamer pulls Swagger off the ring apron and Christian nails the headbutt for two. Finlay takes Miz out of the ring and Morrison tries for a springboard enziguri, which Christian ducks. But Swagger was tagged in as Christian nails the Killswitch. Swagger comes up and nails the gutwrench powerbomb for the three count at 12:20.

Winners: Jack Swagger, John Morrison, & The Miz

Match Rating: **1/2 Good, very solid match by these six. The ending is questionable though.
