Scheduled for tonight is The Abraham Washington show with the ECW Champion Christian as his guest.

I'm hoping this will lead to us getting a new challenger for Christian's title (Come on, William Regal!)

I was hoping we'd see something with Christian/Benjamin next but aparently not after last week's AB show.

I hope this week either Kozlof or Zeke throws a punch or something too.

I really wish they would do away with the Abraham Washington Show. I can't stand the show!

Heh. William Regal is the new number one contender, and I'm already looking forward to his match against Christian.

A decent show this week, though I think that 5 matches is too much for a one hour show.

Ryder vs Benjamin was awesome... BUT IT ONLY GOT 3 MINUTES! What's up with that?

This show had some odd spots in it. Benjamin is face now? Regal named #1 contender but hasn't done anything? 2 squashes onan hour show, both being against agasint local/unknown jobbers.

But I'll agree with SP, the matches were way to short. I was hoping for Benjamin vs Christain, but Ryder/Benjamin was an real good match.Wierd to me how Benjamin is randomly face now, but I'm not complaining. Anyone else here those cheers?

I am officially sick of this whole Zeke/Kozlof ordeal. Somebody needs to strike someone. It's been what a month, maybe more of this same thing. BTW Zeke's entrance music is sick.

The Hurricane is back wich is cool. Abraham Washington (imo) wasn't that bad this week. He does what he's supose to do and does it well. He's an annouying asshole. Sometimes funny here or there.

EDIT: Was I the only one that got a laugh out of Tyler Reks. When he went for his finisher, he put his hands up to signal his finishers, and the croud gives him the most reaction all night wich was a corus of boos. Poor guys not getting over, I think he'll go the Ricky Ortiz route.

I predicted that this sort of thing would happen and that Shelton should have been face a year or two ago. But this feud is ridiculous, Ryder deserves to be number one contender (keyfabe) than Regal, and Shelton should be feuding with Regal. Ryder needed the win more and should have at least been competetive.

Christian/Regal should be very good though.

As has been mentioned, Ezekiel has cool music. This Kozlov feud is intruiging but it needs to hit a crescendo next week, as the matches will suck. >_>

^^^

I don't think that's going to happen with Ryder being num. 1 cont. I read a report saying that the higher ups didn't like the match him Christian had previously and are putting the blame on Ryder, while praising Christian for carrying Ryder through-out the match. I thought the match was great so aparently they saw something that I (or others for that matter) didn't.

^^ What!? The WWE writers/agents/bookers are at it again. :nonono: I don't know whether to believe that considering how good that match was. But if it's true (which given the length of his Shelton match I have a hunch it is.) The "officials" have obviously lost all sense of anything. He has every bit as much potential as Dolph or Swagger on the other shows and pulled through their HORRIBLE gimmick to be taken seriously. I hope for the show's sake he impresses somebody up there...

To the above overtly pro-Rydr types:

No WAY he should be contending for the title yet....

One of you guys above said that Regal doesn't deserve his shot cos he hasn't done anything????

He's been by far the most over heel on ECW since arriving, has been shit hot in his matches (no suprise there) including taking Christian to the limit in an awesome match on Superstars and has a pretty decent win/loss record.

So let me ask ya'll... WDF has Ryder done?

You guys are acting as if somehow fueding with Shelton is beneath him.... Correct me if I'm wrong, but HKid, Jurrasic and co are usually the overtly pro-SHELTON contingent who say he should be a world champ..... A touch contradictory??? ...Oh HELL YEAH!



REGAL AS #1 CONTENDER F'KING RULES.... REGAL HITTIN' PPV RULES (even if it is probably only to job)... I can't wait - I marked the fuck out when AW revealed he contender!

(Yo, SP we got what we wanted, baby! ;o] )

Other random comments:

*I smell the end of the AW show.
*Why bill Hurricane as "Hurricane Helms" while they're doing this Clarke Kent shit with him.... A dumb and fundamental flaw if they're gonna pretend they don't know Hurra & Greg Helmes are same guy.
*The longer it goes on without them coming to blows, the more it seems that were destined for a Kozy/Zeke tag team... This better be a short term deal to spark a fued which turns Zeke face... His presence is so fucking awesome. He'd be awesome as a badass face if he can hold his shit down once the bell rings (non-squash stylee of course.).
*LOL @ poor T.Reks (Shit, I am I being slow..... I only just clocked the dinosaur twist to his name... By accident! lol).

Ryder may be the single shittiest wrestler in the WWE, including Hornswoggle, Khali and the like. Benjamin had every right to go over, and good that he did. Christian/Regal could be good, especially in the match aspect. Tyler Reks is also shit, what has he actually done to garner a face reaction. Wow ECW is really overrated once you analyze it.

Airfixx I said in keyfabe he does not deserve a shot. I'm a fan of Regal's and thought he should get a shot, just not right now when he's done not much of note for about a year.

Shelton should be a world champion based on wrestling alone, but he's been booked like a jobber for the better part of 3 years. Shelton won't go anywhere in the current WWE, but he will always be seen as legit. So if Ryder was competitive it could have made him a serious threat. Shelton doesn't gain anything from squashing him.

No you damn well didn't!

:confused:

Yes, in keyfabe, Ryder deserves a shot but Regal doesn't. I said that both times. Although I meant "more than" than just "than" in my first post. Sorry for the typo.

EDIT: When I said "he" in my 2nd post I was talking about Regal.

Lost me there in part (lol), but as for Regal not or simply less deserving of a title shot in Kayfaybe....

As I already said, his won/lost record is more impressive than Ryder's and he faired far better than Ryder against the current champ in their respective matches (Both point of which ARE kayfaybe factors) so the majority of what I've said still stands.



I ask AGAIN.... What has Ryder done in Kayfaybe (OR otherwise - Your call, dude) to earn a title shot (apart from get his ass kicked and inexplicably get on the right side of some of the internet fans opinions)?

Confused me here. I didn't say anything about Ryder feuding with Shelton beieng beneath anyone. I just said I was disapointed that he wasn't challenging for the title. But I figured he would go into a program with Ryder after AW's show last week.

I just thought it was odd how Regal was named num. 1 contender. Maybe I'm wrong but he hasn't been on ECW in 2 weeks. He didn't win ant type of match to get it. He just pops up after a hiatus and is named number one contender. They could have had the match between Regal/Dreamer for number one contender or something. I duno, just seemed odd to me how he was named.

* I maybe in the minority of starting to like the AW show. It serves it's purpose and imo, does it well. I want to see how this guy is in the ring though.
*I was hoping that they wouldn't go the route and play dumb that they didn't know and maybe just have Helms play the Eric Young/Super Eric thing where he's in denile that he's a super hero, although others already know.
*I'd seriously hate if they became a tag team. Their little program was good at 1st, but there's no enhancement to the storyline. After a month of doing the same thing (which is obsoluty nothing) people are going to be turned off from it..
*Reks should just go heel. Dreamer's not doing anything, have Reks vs Dreamer, Dreamer win with a role up and Reks go all out and do a heelish attack on him. I feel he's going to go down the Ortiz route, shit face nobody cares about and then go on a too-late heel turn.
