Christian beats Tommy Dreamer to become ECW champion

|


The birthplace of ECW birthed a new title reign for Christian as he beat Tommy Dreamer with the killswitch finisher to become the new ECW champion at the WWE Night of Champions PPV. The match featured nine minutes of back and forth action between the babyfaces to only a moderate crowd response.

Despite the Philadelphia setting, WWE fans supported the non-ECW original Christian over ECW original Dreamer in the contest. With the original ECW fanbase long since drifted away and Tommy Dreamer's comeback storyline played out, it made little sense to keep the belt on Dreamer.

While Dreamer should maintain a role of some kind on the ECW brand, expect Christian to continue as its flagship wrestler for the foreseeable future. With Jack Swagger and his compatriots gone, there just isn't anyone else left who is worthy yet of the title belt.

New wrestlers introduced to ECW brand

|


With most of the ECW brand star power cleared out by a WWE storyline trade, this week's June 30 edition of "ECW on Sci Fi" was compelled to introduce new wrestlers from the Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory.

Japanese wrestlers Yoshi Tatsu came in first as a babyface opponent for returned ECW wrestler Shelton Benjamin, defeating Benjamin with one surprise kick. Before his FCW stint, Tatsu worked for New Japan Pro Wrestling under his real name Naofumi Yamamoto. Abraham Washington was introduced next as a talk show segment host. Washington works an Obama-style gimmick in FCW.

Irish signee Sheamus O'Shaunessy wrestled the second match of the show as a heel, billed simply as Sheamus. He defeated NWA mainstay Oliver John who was apparently just there for jobber duty. The fourth new wrestler, current FCW champion Tyler Reks, appeared in a backstage segment with Zack Ryder and will wrestle Ryder on this week's Superstars.

Obviously, ECW is the logical brand to introduce such new talent. However, this many wrestlers debuting combined with the tradees from the Raw and Smackdown brands may make it next to impossible for any of the new WWE superstars to get over.

ECW brand roster annihilated in 'trade'

|


WWE's transfer of 15 wrestlers via a storyline trade left the ECW roster effectively annihilated, leaving doubt about the future of the ECW brand and its associated Sci Fi program.

Three of the five ECW wrestlers from last Sunday's championship scramble match were transferred off the brand, Jack Swagger & Mark Henry to Raw, Finlay to Smackdown. Henry turned babyface on Raw against Randy Orton in the process. Additionally, Evan Bourne was transferred to Raw while the entire Hart Dynasty faction was booted to Smackdown.

ECW's replacements are not even close to matching the brand's former star power. The over the hill William Regal & Goldust, heatless Shelton Benjamin and the absolutely meaningless Bella Twins were moved in from their former brands.

Aside from Christian, ECW champion Tommy Dreamer doesn't have any top name opponents left to face. I had speculated earlier this year that Dreamer could end up as the last ECW champion. With few other options left and a TV program likely without enough star power to stay viable for renewal, my prediction may yet prove valid.

All major WWE titles on line in Raw 3-For-All

|


All three World Wrestling Entertainment brand titles will be on the line this week in an extended edition of WWE Raw. The 3-For-All will feature title matches for the WWE (Raw), World (Smackdown) and ECW titles.

The WWE title match may be the most noteworthy as current WWE champion Batista's title reign will be vacated due to his real-life biceps tendon injury. Randy Orton, Triple H, John Cena and Big Show will fight in a four-way match for the belt. Not to belabor the obvious but some new blood really should have been introduced into this title scenario.

Smackdown's World title will be at stake when babyface trending heel CM Punk defends against both Jeff Hardy and Edge in a triple threat match. In Charlotte, North Carolina, Hardy will have near universal support while CM Punk might as well be in the same category as Edge.

The ECW title will also be defended as new champion Tommy Dreamer takes on former champion Christian. With Dreamer having signed a new real-life contract, the way is cleared for his first title defense. My own belief is that Dreamer's title reign will be a short one since there's just no money in it but give the man credit for connecting with a whole new fan base.

For its extended edition, WWE Raw will begin one hour earlier at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT on USA Network.
