WWE “ECW on Syfy” Hits

Tony Atlas becoming a part of the Abraham Washington Show: Atlas, as the Ed McMahon to Washington’s Johnny Carson (I cannot believe I compared Abe to Johnny), was absolutely hilarious and might save what has become a boring part of the ECW show. Atlas can be unintentionally funny on the mic, but he also has good comedic timing. I am looking forward to more of this duo.

Goldust vs. Sheamus: The match started really slowly but it picked up toward the end. However, this hit is for the feud and Sheamus moving forward. I thought Goldust was invaluable in mentoring Sheamus during this feud. I have said it before and this is a good role for Goldust. He has been working hard in the ring and is the veteran presence a lot of these young guys could really utilize.

William Regal, Vladimir Kozlov, and Ezekiel Jackson: I am really starting to like the direction this faction is taking. With Regal as the mastermind and the two strong guys as his crew, the trio can really do some damage as a midcard heel faction overall and main event heel faction on ECW. With Christian aligning with Tommy Dreamer, the top of the card on Tuesday looks pretty bright.

WWE “ECW on Syfy” Misses

Highlights of Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker: The video was very well done, as is most production work from WWE. However, this was presented to me as the re-airing of the match in its entirety. Even Tiffany had a special introduction for the match that made me think no differently. So, I was disappointed that we did not get the entire match.

Shelton Benjamin vs. Zack Ryder: They were only given a few minutes after building to the match over the past few weeks. I know Shelton Benjamin may not have the overall package to be a main event talent on Raw or Smackdown, but he deserves better than an undercard feud on ECW. I was enjoying the push Ryder was getting and it looks like he is being scaled back a bit too.
