SQUASH MATCH
Zack Ryder defeated Rory Fargo: Rory Fargo, who appeared as fodder for Zack Ryder, suffered a wardrobe malfunction towards the end of the match. WWE production changed the camera angle so you didn’t see his genitals on SyFy. Today the incident dominated the Tweets of Ryder, Hurricane Helms and Chris Jericho. The conversation went something like this, Ryder: “My opponent was being a little cocky in the ring with me tonight.” Helms: “How come nobody told me Balls Mahoney came back to ECW… Big Dick Johnson and Naked Mideon are both suing for gimmick infringement!” Ryder: “He tried his hardest…he was going BALLS to wall…but he couldn’t stop Mr. Woo Woo Woo.” Jericho: “Zack Ryder’s opponent last night needs to stiffen up and be less genitle in the ring.”
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Tiffany & Tyler Reks + William Regal & Vladimir Kozlov & Ezekiel Jackson: Tiffany told Tyler Reks that he was proving that the Superstar Initiative works. William Regal came in with his two monsters and asked how Tiffany could let Christian & Tommy Dreamer get away with attacking Kozlov & Jackson last week. Tiffany said she would have reacted differently if Christian & Dreamer hadn’t been brutually attacked by Kozlov & Jackson in the previous weeks. Regal said it was a desperate act by desperate men and in a few moments Kozlov & Jackson will pound their heads in. Regal promised to make Tiffany proud by becoming the new ECW champion at Breaking Point..
TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT
Vladimir Kozlov & Ezekiel Jackson w/William Regal defeated Christian & Tommy Dreamer: Christian speared Kozlov through the ropes, but he caught his face on the ropes and took an awkward bump to the floor. The finish saw William Regal grab Tommy Dreamer’s foot from ringside, distracting him just enough for Ezekiel Jackson to hit his finisher and win the match! After the match, Regal jumped in and raised the arms of his monsters and then put Dreamer in the Regal-stretch. Regal kicked Christian in the side of the head and knocked him out!
