ECW's Abraham Washington Show

(ECW's Abraham Washington)

Tuesday night's ECW debuted several new wrestlers and WWE personalities on the show to make up for the void left in the wake of Evan Bourne, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, Finlay and the Hart Dynasty all being moved to either Raw or Smackdown. On ECW we got a glimpse at two foreign imports in Sheamus and Yoshi Tatsu. Each debuted with a win, with Sheamus going the Vladimir Kozlov squash route and Yoshi winning with a single kick to knock out a mocking Shelton Benjamin. We also saw a newcomer named Tyler Reks backstage letting Zack Ryder know they'd be fighting on Thursday's WWE Superstars.

Abraham Washington also showed up on ECW to some obvious painful crowd reactions. It's always a kick when the crowd starts up the traditional Stone Cold "What?!" response after everything a wrestler says. According to pwtorch.com, Washington is supposed to be a play on Barack Obama, although he was more like the daytime talk show host looking to stir up controversial situations. His first guests on the debut of his in-ring segment were the beautiful Bella Twins and he got the two twins fighting over who was the better kisser, student and athlete. WWE.com video footage here

Abraham Washington's real name is Brian Jossie, and he was formally trained at Ohio Valley Wrestling, then signed with WWE in September 2008. Jossie worked as Abraham Washington in FCW where he was a manager to a tag team known as The Secret Service (Agent T and Agent D).

None of the new roster members are on the ECW superstars page at WWE.com yet. All of the new talent as well as some of the other current WWE stars (Rosa Mendes, Tyson Kidd, Alicia Fox) are pictured on FCW's Talent page here but there are no bios.
