A Monstrous Beginning. The ECW Match featured Vladimir Kozlov against Ezekiel Jackson. Two weeks ago, Ezekiel picked up the win over his Roundtable partner with the assist of William Regal. Except this time, William Regal was no where to be seen. So would the WWE Universe get to witness a full out brawl? The only wrestling maneuver administered in this match was an over the shoulder slam by Kozlov; the rest of the bout was an exchange of kicks and punches. It's understandable seeing as these two are impressive in size and mass that people would like to seem them wrestle; but that's the problem, Kozlov and Jackson don't wrestle, they just fight. The action spilled over to the outside of the ring, resulting in both men being counted out. Kozlov shouted to his partner that he won, but the score still remains Jackson 1-0. What Kozlov do is become a leader and form his own faction against Regal's "Ruthless Roundtable." It can be a Nation of Domination - D-Generation X war recreated on ECW.
Spanish Culture Clash. The RAW match featured Chavo Guerrero against Primo Colon. Chavo Guerrero, the nephew of the late Eddie Guerrero, has had a tough year with all the celebrity guest hosts and humiliations from losing to Hornswoggle week after week. He vows that 2010 will be different and that he would begin by defeating Primo. The match was exactly as anyone would have guessed, a luchadore styled match, which a lot of flips and fancy footwork. Chavo attempted The Three Amigos but came up short with only executing two, followed by a small package roll up by Primo. Chavo countered and managed to position Primo for the Frog Splash, thus making good on his promise with a win to end 2009.
Rematch set for the New Year. Drew McIntyre is exceeding expectations as the company's future champion by taking his first step by becoming the Intercontinental champion. McIntyre came out in a nice suit and newly polished title belt once again proclaiming that he has been personally chosen by Mr. McMahon. Dues are given to a man who has been undefeated since coming to the WWE, however John Morrison looks to grant the 'Chosen One' his first loss on New Year's Day as he cashes in on his rematch for the intercontinental title. So far, this feud looks more prominent than any other current championship rivalry.
A Big Red 3-0. Certainly not as impressive as Undertaker's 17-0 streak at WrestleMania, but Kane is 3-0 against Mike Knox. All three matches seem to end the same with a chokeslam, but Knox consistency in the ring seems to suggest that he is not in it for the victories. Almost as if Knox is studying and absorbing the blows as a testament to his craft as a kenesiologist. Mike Knox believes that he has a lot in common with Kane because both like to inflict punishment; and if he were to ever incapacitate Kane in the ring, he would ride with him to the hospital. How much longer must these two fight so as to see these studies result in a different outcome? If Knox wants to win he will have to rely on his swiftness and utilize his nearly 300lb mass by executing more crossbodys.
