The (2/24) ECW Extreme Examination
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, looks at the Tuesday Night Delight, ECW
The show opened with a promo for the Main Event between Christian and Jack Swagger.
Matt Striker and Todd Grisham welcomed the home audience to the show. D.J. Gabriel and Alicia Fox danced around the ring. The dancing stopped as Mark Henry and Tony Atlas showed up to fight.

The Finish
Gabriel fought to his feet. Mark tried to hit the Big Splash in the corner. Gabriel hit several Running Forearm and a Low Dropkick to the shin. Gabriel hit a couple of Dropkicks, including a Missile Dropkick off the ropes. Gabriel flew off the top rope…right into the World’s Strongest Slam. Another undefeated streak ends.
Grade: C
Jay’s Thoughts: Apparently, ECW is determined to never use a Goldberg run with their people. This match really never helped either man. Mark gets the Well, yeah, he’s three times Gabriel’s size comments, so he doesn’t move forward in his career. Gabriel gets his streak short-circuited. Who the heck is booking this train wreck?
