Good evening everyone! I’m your ECW Reporter, Ivan Wong. Unfortunately, this will be my last report as personal life has gotten in the way. Thanks for the time, I have enjoyed every moment of it. Enjoy the live report this week!
ECW on Sci-Fi
Dayton, Ohio
Jack Swagger and Christian are shown in General Manager Tiffany’s office. Tiffany says that tonight, after 4 long years, we will witness the return of the Peep Show. Tiffany praises both men and states that neither men should have any physical contact during the segment or there would be consequences to pay, because she doesn’t want to jeopardize their ECW Match at Judgment Day. Christian smiles and leaves while Swagger appears to be a little hesitant. Swagger finally agrees before walking out as well.
The ECW video package plays followed by the usual fireworks. Josh Mathews welcomes us to the show as Matt Striker further hypes the Peep Show.
Mark Henry and Tony Atlas hit the ring for the opening match of the night. Henry’s opponent is the ECW Original, Tommy Dreamer.

Match 1: Mark Henry (w/ Tony Atlas) vs. Tommy Dreamer
Henry starts off the match in control after he hurls Dreamer half way across the ring. Dreamer struggles to fight back, but Henry shoves Dreamer onto the outside. As Henry nears Dreamer, the Innovator of Violence chokes Henry on the ropes. Not long after however, Henry clotheslines Dreamer and presses all of his weight down to the ECW original. The crowd gets behind Dreamer, but Henry continues the pressure and gets a near fall. Henry starts to celebrate but receives a boot to the face. Dreamer quickly goes to the top rope and tries for a double axe handle, but Henry catches him and eventually slams him down. Henry then attempts an elbow drop, but Dreamer dodges it. About a minute after dealing some offense to Henry, Dreamer connects with his DDT, but Henry gets his feet on the ropes. Atlas gets up on the apron and causes a brief distraction that allows Henry to capitalize with the World’s Strongest Slam for the win.
Your Winner: MARK HENRY
Backstage Gregory Helms, the new ECW announcer, interviews Tyson Kidd and Natalya regarding his upcoming match with Finlay. Kidd says that he knows how to fight as he is from the Hart Dungeon and that he will be ready for anything Finlay tries to do. Natalya wishes Kidd good luck in his match before Kidd leaves for the ring.
This Thursday on WWE Superstars, Big Show will take on Hornswoggle in an Exhibition Match.
Another video plays hyping the Jeff/Edge match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Judgment Day.

Finlay first makes his way down to the ring followed by Tyson Kidd, who is without Natalya
Match 2: Finlay vs. Tyson Kidd
Minutes after the belll rings, Kidd applies a leg lock, but Finlay quickly reverses it into a Sharpshooter. Finlay releases the hold and sends Kidd to the outside where he kicks the youngster a couple of times. As Finlay tries re-entering the ring, Kidd dropkicks Finlay off the apron. Kidd then allows Finlay to make it back to his feet where Kidd dropkicks Finlay again, but this time into the steel steps. The announcers wonder if Finlay can make it back to his feet as we go to break.

Upon returning from break, Kidd works on the arm/shoulder area of Finlay as he tries to get the Irishman to tap out. Roughly after a minute or so, Finlay manages to break loose of the submission hold when he takes Kidd down with a shoulderblock. Kidd attempts to get some separation, but Finlay strikes at Kidd with numerous clotheslines followed by a rolling cutter. Finlay then attempts the Celtic Cross when David Hart Smith(DH Smith) suddenly appears from out of nowhere and he starts to decimate Finlay with numerous strikes, including a big boot.
Finlay starts to fight back, but Kidd returns to the ring with the shillelagh and hits Finlay in the lower leg area with it. Smith throws Finlay to the outside where he rams him into the steel steps. The heel tag team then connect with what the announcers called was the Hart Attack. Natalya comes into the ring and the three celebrate with the crowd intensely booing the newly formed Hart Foundation. This is amazing!
Peep Show is still to come!

The announcers recapped footage of Smith and Kidd hitting the Hart Attack Clothesline. One of the announcers referred to it as "blasphemy". They once again referred to the trio as "The Hart Trilogy"
The announcers introduced the Raw Rebound, which focussed entirely on the Batista and Randy Orton saga from Monday night... The announcers ran through the Judgment Day pay-per-view lineup.
Backstage, Zack Ryder begged Tiffany to let him hit the gym since he wasn't wrestling. She gave him permission. He bumped into Paul Burchill and Katie Lea and gave them his "Woo woo woo, you know it" catchphrase. Burchill said he noticed he wasn't on the show. Tiffany said not everyone can be on the show every week. Burchill kept his cool and said, "I guess that's how things are going to be then." After Burchill left, Katie told Tiffany that Paul gets himself in trouble when he has too much time on his hands.

A video hyped Vladimir Kozlov
The Russian, Vladimir Kozlov, made his way down to the ring. He is challenging a local wrestler.
Match 3: Vladimir Kozlov vs. Chad Collyer
Collyer is a longtime Heartland Wrestling Association wrestler. Striker put over Collyer's amateur background and never mentioned the HWA (no surprise there). It took longer to write this paragraph than it did for Kozlov to finish off Collyer.
After the match, Josh Matthews entered the ring and asked Kozlov why he's so superior.
Your Winner: VLADIMIR KOZLOV

Christian came to the ring for the Peep Show.
There were two chairs set up and the ring was covered in special carpeting. Christian introduced Swagger, who came to the ring wearing a white dress shirt that looked like a holdover from the Right To Censor days.
Christian welcomed Swagger to the "Championship Edition of the Peep Show." Swagger responded by saying, "This is so stupid." Swagger said that just like all the celebrities who appear on lame talk shows, he brought his own clip. The footage showed Christian slamming Swagger's head into an exposed turnbuckle and then pinning him to win the ECW Title.
"Well, what do you have to say for yourself?" Swagger asked. Christian said Swagger just showed how he was beaten for the title, and noted that he left out the part where Swagger was exposing the other turnbuckle at the same time. Christian said Swagger was simply outsmarted.
Christian played a video that made light of Swagger's lisp. Back in the ring, Christian laughed while Swagger questioned what the video proved. "Well, really, Jack, it doesn't prove anything, I just like making you look stupid," Christian said. Swagger said he owns Christian in the ring and predicted that he wouldn't be smiling when Swagger takes the ECW Title back on Sunday.
Swagger mocked Christian and then pointed out that Tiffany wouldn't let Christian do anything to him during his own show. Christian responded by saying that the great thing about hosting a show is that you get to decide when it's over. Christian blasted Swagger with a punch to the face. The punch knocked Swagger down and he rolled out of the ring. Christian held the ECW Championship above his head to end the show.
Good Show!
