ECW Recap 06.09.09

ECW Recap from Biloxi, MS:

ECW opened with highlights from Extreme Rules of the Triple Threat Hardcore Match between Christian, Jack Swagger and Tommy Dreamer. It was Dreamer's "all or nothing" shot at the ECW title, because if he lost he vowed to retire. Dreamer managed to win it despite the tough odds regaining the ECW title in two decades time.

ECW GM Tiffany was in the ring as ECW opened, with a table set up. Tiffany introduced Tommy Dreamer as new ECW Champion, and announced he earned himself a new contract as well. Dreamer came to the ring in street clothes carrying the ECW belt on his shoulder. Dreamer told the fans this was made possible by them. Dreamer thanked the fans from the bottom of his heart for their support and making this the biggest highlight of his career. Dreamer prepared to sign a brand new contract, but just then Christian came out from backstage carrying a box of tissues. Christian threw the tissues to Dreamer as a congratulations gift. Christian noted that Swagger interfered in their matches so many times that Extreme Rules was made into a Triple Threat, and Christian wasn't even pinned to lose the title. Christian said Dreamer owes him a rematch and Christian will regain the title.

As Dreamer got ready to sign his new contract again, Jack Swagger's music came on and Swagger appeared from backstage. Swagger began to say that the fans were here to see him not Dreamer or Christian. Tiffany prepared to discuss the contract extension of Dreamer, but Swagger cut her off saying he's not sure the contract is legit. Swagger told Christian they can take this to the Board of Executives and have Dreamer stripped of his title, or Dreamer can do the right thing and forfeit the belt. Dreamer said no way, and Christian said maybe Swagger has a point. Christian said he's going to do the right thing now, then turned and clocked Swagger, eventually knocking him out of the ring. Dreamer quickly signed his contract extension and then got on the corner turnbuckle to pose with the belt. Christian went over and got Dreamer on his shoulders fast then slammed him through the table.

Josh Matthews announced that those two, Dreamer and Christian will team up to face the Hart Dynasty tonight.

When ECW returned from commercial, Tiffany was talking to a WWE staff member backstage. A bunch of equipment had been knocked over and the man said some guy in green came rushing by but he didn't get a good luck at him. Tiffany spotted someone and told the man she'd be right back. Christian came walking through, and Tiffany confronted him about why he slammed Dreamer through a table. Christian said it was payback for what Dreamer did to him last week. Tiffany said because of that, Dreamer can't compete as Christian's tag partner. Tiffany told Christian it will still be a tag match but his partner will now be Jack Swagger.

Evan Bourne vs. Tony Atlas

Mark Henry accompanied Atlas to the ring, laughing about the fact Atlas was wearing a funny looking red white and blue wrestling suit. Striker said Atlas is wrestling due to the fact he cost Henry a match last week against Evan Bourne.

In tonight's match, the veteran Atlas managed to gain control and use power moves to slam Bourne around. As they were near the corner, Bourne got up fast and DDT'd Atlas to the mat, then went to the corner for the Shooting Starpress to win the match. Bourne's celebration was shortlived as Mark Henry entered the ring and clubbed him down from behind. Henry used the World's Strongest Slam to slam Bourne to the mat hard before leaving the ring.

Winner: Evan Bourne wins via pinfall over Tony Atlas.

Luke Hawx & Chris Lewie vs. Vladimir Kozlov
2 on 1 Handicap Match

Kozlov came to the ring smiling and raising his arms waving to the fans as he came to the ring, a strange change of character for the usually frowning all business superstar.

The Moscow Mauler made quick work of his opponents again. Kozlov started to headbutt one of his opponents hard in the chest before throwing him over his back. The man managed to tag his amateur partner who tried to jump off the ropes at Kozlov. Kozlov batted the man down from the air then used his one hand slam move to finish him. After winning, Kozlov started posing on the corners of the ring.

Winner: Vladimir Kozlov wins via pinfall over Chris Lewie & Luke Hawx.

Christian and Swagger were shown preparing backstage in the locker room. Swagger told Christian he knows he doesn't want to be his partner but that he's a winner, so he expects Christian to hold up his side of the partnership for tonight's match.

Last night's Raw incidents were revisited with Batista coming out to celebrate winning the WWE Title at Extreme Rules. Randy Orton came down the ramp to stare down the Animal, and Legacy snuck into the ring behind Batista. Batista was fighting everyone off for some time, but then was overpowered by all 3 men. Eventually they started to target his left arm, with Orton putting it into a chair and stomping on it. Orton eventually snapped Batista's arm back, and Batista had to be taken away by ambulance. GM Vickie Guerrero said that the rematch would go on and if Batista didn't show up for the main event, Orton would win by forfeit.

Later on Raw, Orton waited in the ring with Legacy as the ref started to count to 10 before calling it a forfeit. On the big screen the back of the ambulance was shown so the ref stopped counting. Suddenly, Triple H appeared on the screen with Sledgehammer in hand. The Game made his way from backstage all the way to the ring, taking out Rhodes and Dibiase with the hammer, then getting in the ring to beat up Orton. After fighting in the ring, outside it and into the crowd, things ended back in the ring with a Pedigree by Triple H of Orton onto a steel chair.

Josh Matthews and Matt Striker discussed the special 3 hour Raw next Monday which will include a Fatal Fourway for the WWE Title involving Randy Orton, Triple H, Big Show and John Cena. Also, Tommy Dreamer will defend the ECW title in a rematch against Christian.

Christian & Jack Swagger vs. The Hart Dynasty

Before the match, Natalya said Tyson Kidd and DH Smith will be facing two former ECW champions, but these guys will be future champions. Swagger tried to start the match off, but as the bell rang Christian slapped his back and went in instead. DH Smith came in and took control with his strength against Christian, ramming him down off the ropes with a shoulder block.

Kidd tagged in next and continued to work on Christian. Christian soon gained momentum and dropkicked Kidd from off the corner. Christian and Swagger got into a verbal discussion and Swagger shoved Christian right to Kidd. Kidd and Smith gained control as ECW went to commercial.

The Hart Dynasty stayed in control as they beat on Christian with Swagger watching from the other side. Christian tried to use a flying headbutt off the ropes but Kidd moved away and hit a snap suplex on Christian. Kidd went to the ropes and tried a Moonsault with Christian avoiding it. Christian staggered over towards Swagger as Kidd tagged in Smith. Swagger put his hand out to tag Christian and as he swiped at Christian's hand, Christian pulled his away then slapped Swagger in the face, knocking him off the apron. Christian gained momentum as he attempted to pin Smith several times from there. Christian missed on a headbutt off the corner again and Kidd tagged in.

Christian tried for the Killswitch several times but with no success. At one point Christian managed to flip over Tyson Kidd but he fell towards Swagger. Swagger grabbed Christian and yanked him down across the ropes. Christian was stunned and Kidd tagged in Smith. Smith grabbed Christian in a Bear Hug and Kidd ran off the ropes to clothesline him with the Hart Attack. Smith took the winning pin.

After the match, Swagger, Kidd and Smith all began to attack Christian. Suddenly, Tommy Dreamer came charging down the ramp with a Kendo Stick in hand. Dreamer got in the ring and began smashing the stick on Swagger's back until eventually he cleared the ring. ECW ended with Dreamer raising his arms with the kendo stick as Christian recovered in the corner.

Winners: Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith win via pinfall over Christian and Jack Swagger.
