ECW 29th Sep 09 reviewed

My 1st ECW since 14th Apr this year, lets see if the show has made any progress forwards or gotten worse. As I haven't watched the show in 5 months I make no apologies for not knowing who people are or what current storylines are. Show opens with William Regal altering a match then Tony Atlas introduces some nobody called Abraham Washington (who he?) in some chat show bulls**t.
As if wrestling didn't already have too much talking they are adding a chat show segment too?
Paul Burchill vs Shelton Benjamin - Or rather not as Benjamin was jumped by some ginger dude (Sheamus O'Shaunessy, never heard of him - he must be new?) as he came to the ring, Benjamin was stupid enough to start the match already injured & we had some c**p spots then a commercial break with Burchill still on top when we rejoined the match. Oh and someone might want to tell Katy Leah Daffney called and wants her gimmick back. Burchill was on top for the whole of the match until Benjamin hit Paydirt out of nowhere to take the unexpected win. S**t match, quite frankly this didn't help progress any kind of storyline or help get either guy over. P**s poor, 2/10.
8 Man Tag Match, William Regal, Vladimir Kozlov, Ezekiel Jackson & Zack Ryder vs Goldust, Tommy Dreamer, Yoshi Tatsu & Christian - I see Ryder is STILL trying to be Grand Master Sexay? Jackson still looks like f**king Bad News Brown, only Tatsu was new to me here. Pretty c**p apart from the last minute, Tatsu took the win after kicking Regal in the head then hooked the leg to make the pin.
For a wrestling show this was P**S POOR, it was nearly 15 minutes into a 45 minute long show before we even had a match and they only had 2 matches? Quite frankly if WWE is calling this "Entertainment" then they need a new f**king thesaurus.
