The ECW Recap -- Jay Shannon

Matt Striker and Todd Grisham welcomed the home crowd to the show. Matt Hardy ramped up the crowd with his arrival. The ECW Champ was scheduled to fight in a non-title match against Bam Neely.Bam is from Robbinsdale, MN (home of Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig).

Matt Hardy d Bam Neely Non-title match

The Highlights:

The crowd was seriously behind the ECW champ. Bam tried to use his power to take out Hardy. Hardy countered with scientific moves. Bam wrenched a hard headlock but Matt sent him to the ropes. Matt launched Bam with a Hip Toss and then nailed a Clothesline. Bam kicked Matt in the lower back. Bam slammed Matt, several times, and went for the pin. Hardy kicked out at two. Bam hit a big Leg Drop. Bam locked in a Rear Chin Lock while sitting on Matt's back.

Matt hit a Back Elbow and went for the Crossbody. Bam caught Matt and hit a Bossman slam. Matt Floated Over the Suplex and nailed the Hangman's Neckbreaker. Bam fell into the ropes and Matt hit the Running Boot. Matt went to the roes and hit the Elbow Drop off the ropes. Matt hit the Side Effect. Bam ran Matt to the corner but ate a boot. Matt hit the Tornado DDT off the middle rope. Matt went to the ropes but got caught. Bam hit a Superplex that rattled Matt's spine. Bam went to Bum Rush Matt into the corner, but the ECW Champ flipped out of the move and nailed the Twist of Fate.

Grade: B+

Finlay and Hornswoggle danced out onto the ramp. The Irish father and son had something to say to Matt Hardy. They would get their chance, after a quick break.

Finlay congratulated Matt on his win. Finlay said that Matt has yet to battle Finlay for the title. Finlay then challenged Matt. Matt started to accept, but Mark Henry came out to stop the acceptance. Mark said that he deserved the title shot. Finlay said that no one wanted to see Mark get another shot. Matt and Finlay made fun of the 4 votes that Mark Henry got at Cyber Sunday. Mark offered to fight Finlay after insulting Hornswoggle.

Teddy Long came out to keep everyone apart. Long said that Hardy would battle either Mark Henry or Finlay, next week. Henry and Finlay would battle in the main event. Tony didn't look happy about the idea. Finlay was all smiles. ECW then ran Boogeyman promo that reminded me of the old Freddy Krueger movies. ECW worked in TNA Country tonight, Orlando, Fl. Grisham and Striker talked about the new Raw v Smackdown video game. Ricky Ortiz came out with his Rally Towel flying. Ortiz was handed Jon Davis to squash. Davis was trained by Dory Funk, Jr.

Ricky Ortiz d Jon Davis

The Highlights:

Ricky hit a big Dropkick but missed a run in the corner. Ortiz hit a version of the Jackhammer Suplex. Ortiz hit a Flying Shoulder off the middle rope. Ortiz finished the match with the Big O Splash.

Grade: C

Striker and Grisham talked about the right ankle injury of Evan Bourne. Bourne will be on the shelf for at least 4 months, longer if he requires surgery.

Jack Swagger strolled to the ring with that Osmonds-esque grin just a-shining. Jack defeated Tommy Dreamer, last week. There was a table in the ring with all kinds of "toys" on it. Jack made fun of Tommy's bragging about having a 19-year career. Jack wanted to look at what Tommy had actually done. Jack talked about "a drunk named Sandman" beating him with the Singapore Cane. Jack had a cane to use as a visual aid. jack then showed off the original ECW title belt. Jack called the belt and Tommy "old". Jack laughed at the length of Tommy's reign. Jack threw the belt in a garbage can. Jack then went a little too far when he showed of a picture of Beulah McGilliculty, Tommy's wife. jack talked about Tommy's twin daughters. Jack talked to Beulah, through the screen. Jack accused Tommy of being a failure. He also said Beulah married a failure and their kids would most likely be failures. Jack said that he would allow Beulah and the kids look up to him.

Tommy hit the ring at full speed. He blith-whapped Jack in the back with the Singapore Cane. Jack fell between the ropes and stayed on the floor. Tommy looked ready for war. Swagger v Dreamer in a Singapore Cane Match? Give them time at Survivor Series. I could see Creative making it a true Survivor match. If Tommy loses, he has to retire. If Tommy wins, he gets another shot at the ECW title. Just a little armchair booking on my part.

Grisham sent it to the Raw Rebound. It was a look back at the Steel Cage match between Chris Jericho and Batista. Both men put on a clinic of how to work the cage. There were numerous close calls. Jericho went after the leg of Batista to keep him from climbing out of the cage. Jericho ripped a steel ring off one of the cables and smacked Batista in the skull. That allowed Jericho to escape the cage and regain the World title. Jericho will now face John Cena at Survivor Series for the World title.

Finlay and Hornswoggle entered for the main event. They threw souvenirs out to the crowd as the Irish jig music blared. The mood changed completely when Mark Henry and Tony Atlas showed up. Mark stomped down the ramp with bad intentions on his mind.

Finlay d Mark Henry Number One Contender Match

The Highlights:

Finlay placed the shillelagh in the corner. Mark noticed the stick and grumbled. Mark used his power to shove Finlay to the mat, several times. Finlay noticed Tony getting close to the action and moved away. Finlay threw several hard fists, but Mark hit a Headbutt to stop Finlay. Finlay shook off the stunning effects of the move.

Mark moved Finlay to the corner and pounded away. Finlay came back with shots of his own. Finlay went to the apron and fought. Mark hit a Kneelift and several other power moves to drop the Irishman. The two men continued to pound each other. Mark hit another Kneelift to rock the Belfast Brawler. Mark Power Whipped Finlay to the corner. Mark attacked the left arm of Finlay and then dropped Finlay with a Clothesline. ECW went to break.

ECW ran a promo for Ricky Ortiz's appearance on Cha$e, next week.

Mark was using the Kabuki Neck Pinch on Finlay. Mark kicked the ribs of the Irishman. Tony threatened to interfere but backed off when the ref got too close. Mark yelled at Finlay. Finlay got a trick shot to the face of Mark. Mark then refocused on the arm of Finlay. Finlay was sent to the corner, shoulder-first. Finlay might end up joining Evan on the shelf, after this match. Mark worked on the wrist of Finlay. Finlay threw several Elbow Smashes to get free. Mark slammed into Finlay as the Irishman bounced off the ropes.

Mark choked Finlay in the corner and hit a Back Elbow. Finlay kicked at Tony Atlas through the ropes. Mark went back to wok on the injured arm of Finlay. Mark stood on Finlay's chest and went for the Bombs Away. Finlay moved and Mark jammed his leg. Finlay attacked the leg with a vengeance. Mark tossed Finlay to the outside. Tony got in Finlay's face. Finlay Clotheslined the Hall of Famer. Finlay used the ropes to choke Mark Henry. Hornswoggle jumped off the ropes with the Crossbody. Mark caught him. Finlay swept the leg and almost punned Mark.

Mark chased after Hornswoggle . Henry sent Finlay into the steel post and then rolled both Henry and Hornswoggle into the ring. Henry tried to hit a Splash on Finlay, but the Belfast Brawler moved. The ref tried to get Hornswoggle out of the ring. The distraction allowed Finlay to crack Mark in the skull with the shillelagh. The ref counted the pin and gave the Number One contendership to (Dave "Fit") Finlay.

Grade: B+

The Finlays danced around the ring as ECW faded into Scare Tactics. Finlay will battle Matt Hardy for the ECW title, next week.

I watched some of it and I tell you Swagger needs to stop talking, I'm not sure if it's do to his character but he sounds incredibly irritating.

I liked his promo. Good way to draw heel heat.
