I believe I remember you writing that the ECW title match on the episode after Summerslam should have taken place at the pay per view. This was because Matt Hardy def. Mark Henry by disqualification in about 30 seconds.... Apparently Summerslam and ECW title matches do not get along.

Yoshi Tatsu and Tyler Reks actually make a great tag team. Their gimmick can be having the two worst entrance themes in the WWE.

Hold the phone! Am I seeing things? Is ECW losing it's 60 second status? I used to watch the whole show in under a minute with the help of my DVR fastest fast forward mode. With the Christian/Team Regal saga beginning and the return of the Hurricane to a rather appropriate home on SyFy, I am losing the urge to mash the FFWD button. I am getting dangerously close to (GASP!) watching the show when it actually airs!

If I could be serious for a minute (we miss you Lance!), I really want to see the Hurricane/Burchill story get some legs. I can see Katie Lea becoming enamored with the Green Grappler and joining his caped crusade only to become injured during an otherwise uneventful match, causing Paul Burchill to blame Helms for his sister's injuries and vow to torment the hero for his grievous failure to protect her. Bingo! Supervillain and superhero now locked in a rivalry that will elevate both of them and provide all kinds of possibilities for the show. New heroes? New villains? Villain vs. Villain battles? I love it! Where's my check?

I thought ECW would fall into the crapper after they lost Swagger, Bourne and Henry but after a couple of transitional weeks things are looking up again.
I like Sheamus and I've enjoyed his matches with Goldust. Ever brand needs a program like this. An older guy helping a young guy along. Much like what Finaly does and is currently doing with Mike Knox.
Also, I've posted this before but I hope there is one last run for Dustin Rhodes/Runnels. I could see him in a program with William Regal. The common man's son vs. the blueblood.
Poor Shelton. Being stuck in SmackDown's mid-card is one thing but to be stuck in ECW's mid-card is another.
This just in from my crystal ball: WWE has come to terms with the release of Tyler Reks. We wish Mr. Reks well in his future endeavours.

I don't get Tyler Reks, the arena is never quieter than when he enters, he does nothing special, has no personality and a surfer gimmick is annoying. Last week, it seemed as if the announcers were really stretching for positive comments for him, almost laughable.
I hope they do something with Shelton Benjamin, he is so athletic in the ring which makes him very entertaining to watch. He impressed me the most out of all the wrestlers when I first started watching wrestling again a year and a half ago.

Is Tommy Dreamer taking time off? Hasn't even been mentioned since he was attacked before his scheduled tag match w/Christian a few weeks ago.

Sheamus and Rex could form a tag team called 'Awkwardly no Personalities'

yea ECW was a good show without abraham washington segment and I think the regal feud would be better without the 2 sidekicks, sheamus and golddust is interesting and entertaining.......are u coming down here this saturday for the SD/ECW show in O.C. Md would like to meet u ur blog enteries are always entertaining and factional.... e-mail me if u are going to be at the show

RESPONSE FROM KE: No, I won't be there.

Maybe I'm just an old-school traditionalist, but I love the idea of bringing together more stables. I think Legacy and the Regal "Roundtable" (Striker's name, I like it) are great ways to create more intriging story possibilities and to make guys relevant who would stuggle on their own. Honestly, do you think Cody Rhodes, Koslov, and Zeke would be anywhere near as interesting on their own? Now these guys not only have serious importance to their shows, but being part of these groups gives added intrigue to future programs.

I'm a huge Benjamin fan, he's second only to John Morrison in my book. While I prefer Shelton as a heel (he's just not a natural babyface), this turn, if that's what it turns out to be, at least shows that WWE is *trying* to do something with him.

I don't think that Tyler Reks is as bad as other posters in this space do, but I would agree that his surfer gimmick won't get him very far. Still, the creative team has slapped worse gimmicks on young talent. See Kizarny.
