ECW saw the return match of the Hurricane, the ever growing fury between a warrior and a freak, but most importantly, an alliance of gigantic proportions. The Hurricane was successful in his match against Paul Burchill - much to Burcill's disappointment, Matt Striker seemed to enjoy himself since he is a huge comic book fanatic.
However, Striker went to ahead of himself and revealed too much to soon on the Hurricane: such as his weaknesses, and possible identity.
Many speculate that Gregory Helms is the alleged vigilante, but WWE.com has a separate profile for the new superhero of ECW.
His finisher is the Eye of the hurricane - and thanks to Striker, his weakness is his neck, most likely because it has been surgically repaired - if he was Gregory Helms.
Whatever may be the case, the Hurricane delivered hard Justice to his arch foe, but how long until his identity is revealed?
Now remember Gregory Helms as the backstage interviewer? Well this week we witnessed the debut of Courtney Taylor. The lovely new addition to ECW, interviewed Tommy Dreamer before a sudden attack from #1 Contender William Regal and his tag team partner of the night, Vladimir Kozlov. Turns out that the ambush left Tommy Dreamer unable to compete, leaving Taylor to question Tiffany of the status of the main event.
On the ever failing Abraham Washington Show - the guests were Goldust and Sheamus.
Sheamus holds two pinfall victories over Goldust, but he in turn suffered a loss in their last encounter.
There's no real reason why this feud started - it was a random match up that escalated through proises of domination, and broken pride.
We are reminded in this segment that Goldust suffers from twitches and ticks caused by the lightning bolt that struck him so many years ago.
Of course Washington made fun of the Goldust, but the jokes ceased with the arrival of Sheamus - and his continued quest to take over ECW. These two did not share blows this week, but the animosity between them
keeps on growing.
Zack Ryder continues to impress the fans with his big win over Yoshi Tatsu. It's hard to like Ryder, but you damn well have to respect him - he holds multiple victories over many of the top superstars on ECW; and as Striker mentioned, it's hard not to like someone but also admit that they are better proven by their effectiveness.
Yoshi put up a good front, with a Standing Rolling Senton and a miscalculated over the rope elbow drop - Ryder, being as effective as he is, capitalized on Tatsu's error and scored the victory.
Another thing to mention about Zack Ryder, his entrance is not so bad once you get use to it.
Now the moment of truth, An impeccable ending in the land of extreme. Christian's tag team partner turned out to be none other than - Ezekiel Jackson!
Jackson was the obvious choice - it could've been Shelton Benjamin but lets face it, Kozlov and Jackson have been trying to one up each other for weeks.
Christian and Regal started the match as a preview of their SummerSlam encounter for the ECW Championship. Christian pretty much in desperate need for a tag, was confined to enemy territory and attacked by the Moscow Mauler.
Yet, when Jackson forced his way into the ring to chase out Kozlov - he TURNED on Christian with the Ura-nage! The match ended with a pinfall victory by William Regal.
You would think that being betrayed by your tag team partner was bad enough - but Regal commanded both Jackson and Kozlov to execute their finishers on Christian.
Looks like Regal has stepped up his game ten-fold, with the two biggest juggernauts of ECW on his side. Things are not looking good for the ECW Champion as he has to defend it this Sunday, the only possible person that would bother to be at his side is an injured Tommy Dreamer.
This new alliance of Regal, Kozlov, and Jackson could destroy the Hart Dynasty - and most importantly, it could even take down Legacy.
I for one cannot wait to see how this will play out in the weeks ahead.
