After bringing the ECW Championship back home to the Land of the Extreme – proving triumphant in an epic Triple Threat Match with Kane and Big Show at Night of Champions – ECW Champion Mark Henry celebrated with a crushing victory over the courageous Colin Delaney.
Earlier in the evening, Tommy Dreamer – with Delaney in tow – interrupted Henry and questioned whether the World’s Strongest Man actually knew what it meant to hold the coveted extreme title. After challenging Henry, the unimpressed new champion proclaimed that if young Delaney could beat him, he would give Dreamer his opportunity. Unfortunately for the ECW Original, although Delaney possessed the heart and soul of ECW, he could not overcome such enormous odds.
As part of his New Superstar Initiative, ECW General Manager Theodore Long introduced Atlas Ortiz, the latest addition to the ECW roster. The newcomer made a notable first impression, scoring a victory over former ECW GM Armando Estrada in his debut match.
In a fast and furious Six-Man Tag Team Match, United States Champion Matt Hardy teamed with fellow ECW draftees Finlay & Hornswoggle to defeat WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison & their partner Chavo Guerrero. After Hardy delivered the Twist of Fate to Morrison, and Hornswoggle dropped the Tadpole Splash on Guerrero, Finlay finished off the self-proclaimed “Mexican Warrior” with an authoritative Celtic Cross.

Does anyone watch ECW anymore? Out of all the reports I post, ECW gets the least amount of comments. I’m not trying to guilt you guys into posting more, but I’m really wondering how popular ECW is now.

I watch ECW, at least when I have time for it, in Canada it’s on late and I used to watch it for Kane, Benjamin and Kingston mainly, and a bit of Knox. But now 75% of them aren’t even on it anymore.
@Kane Personally I’ve lost some interest in ECW. I used to watch it every week religiously because I thought it was the best show. And it still is, but I’ve lost some interest. Thankfully WWE hasn’t changed the format too much which is why I like it so much. I hope this draft doesn’t shake up the show too much. I want to see wrestling and I could always count on ECW delivering that.
They have pretty much killed off the roster though with that draft.
I must admit, I don’t really watch it very often. It’s on late here, too, and most of the time, I forget it’s even coming on. I just don’t like them calling it ECW when it’s really not. When is the last time they had an extreme rules match?
I’m not asking that to pick at ECW, I really don’t remember.
@Resplendence I think the last one was a few weeks ago betweem Tommy Dreamer and someone else. But I’m not sure about that.
Did you watch ECW when it first came back? It was when Heyman was in charge of it and the show was really really really good. The first few weeks were pretty rocky, but afterwards it was a solid one-hour show.
Since Smackdown! isn’t quite up yet I’d like to say yay to MVP’s face seeds which were planted between him, Edge and HHH!
Oh and I saw ECW last night, a bit disappointing, either there was no Knox or “Bourne”, or I missed both of them. Not too many guys on there that are worth watching anymore, not a M. Hardy fan and he’s carrying the show, although I do enjoy watching Henry. Oh and Atlas was BORING.
@Matt B
Yeah, I did watch ECW back when it first came back, and I loved it then. Heyman was such a great asset to the company, as well as RVD. Now that they’re both gone, it’s gone somewhat downhill.
@Resplendence Yea it was great. After Heyman was fired/let go it was a little bad. Then (I thought) it was good for a loooong time. Now the past few weeks have been somewhere between OK & decent.
