A Hurricane came through Rockford, and no... not a natural one - but a supernatural by the name of The Hurricane! The Hurricane's feud with Paul Burchill continues - but what stood out was Matt Striker's commentary.
A former ECW superstar, Matt Striker took over as Color Commentator sometime during early 2008. His commentating with Todd Grisham (now on Smackdown) garnered him the Best Announce Team 2008 Slammy Award. Yet, ever since teaming with Josh Matthews, his commentating seems less than desirable.
At the start of the match, Striker suggested a possible twin scenario. Seeing as RAW has the Bella Twins, it wouldn't be so far fetched for Gregory Helms to have a twin in The Hurricane.
Sure, I'll bite, seeing as Striker is trying to protect his identity, but what happened next.... ugh!
If Striker is going to make comic book references, then at least make them closer to the superhero that The Hurricane emulates - the Green Lantern, not Superman. Striker called Hurricane, the Son of Jor-El.
Striker also goes on to say: Meanwhile, Back in the Hall of Justice. - What is Striker spewing out? We get it, he likes comic books - But don't lose sight of the match!
Hurricane almost gets the victory with a Hurricane-Rana, but Burchill trying to use his sister Katie-Lee as a distraction proved to be his downfall and went straight into The Eye of the Hurricane!
This week's ECW marks the newest addition to the Extreme Brand - Savannah. Her real name is Angela Fong and she is currently wrestling in WWE's developmental territory in FCW.
Her first job as backstage interviewer was to interview Tommy Dreamer and Christian on their tag team match later on in the program. - But what about Courtney Taylor? Why are there TWO Back Stage Interviewers on ECW?
Ever since returning to ECW, Shelton Benjamin has shocked people by who he faces. At first it was against Yoshi Tatsu - no big deal since Shelton's a heel. But then he entered a feud with Zack Ryder.
Was Shelton turning face? Shelton did defeat Ryder twice in their encounters - but this week he teamed up with The Celtic Warrior Sheamus against Goldust and Yoshi Tatsu.
I'd figured as much that the feud between Ryder and Benjamin was a simple clash of egos.
Shelton goes for a blind tag and steels a victory by pinning Sheamus' enemy, The Weird One Goldust.
You would think that Sheamus would be happy with the win? Well... he wasn't.
He lands a punch against the side of Benjamin's face and a fight breaks out.
Leaving us to understand that Shelton Benjamin will start feuding with Sheamus and that it's quite possible that Benjamin is indeed turning heel.
