The (1/20) Extreme Examination!
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, takes a look at the Royal Rumble lead-in edition of ECW
ECW opened with a video promo for the new ECW champ, Jack Swagger. It showcased how Swagger took the ECW title from Matt Hardy in perhaps the greatest match in new ECW history. An exposed turnbuckle was Matt’s downfall. Jack dropped Matt on the turnbuckle and then used the Gut Wrench Powerbomb to seal the deal.
Matt Hardy came out to talk with Todd Grisham. Todd asked Matt about what occurred last Friday night on Smackdown when Jeff was firebombed by his entrance pyros. The re-ran the explosions, several times. It was very tough to watch that. Todd asked for an update on Jeff’s condition. Jeff had first degree burns from the accident. Todd asked if Matt thought it was an accident or not. Matt said it was not an accident but wouldn’t comment further.
