Yoshi's music rules and using a headkick as a finisher is awesome.

Also, another Irish guy and he spoke Gaelic! Sheamus rules!

I am really excited to see how these new Superstars do in the coming weeks. It's always good to see new talent.

I am saying that in regard to all the new Superstars, but one; Abraham Washington. That segment was a failure from all aspects. It was boring and lasted too long and it was full of plain stupidity. It's funny that the fans booed him before he even spoke. They must be psychic.

Tyler Reks makes his debut against Zack Ryder this Thursday on Superstars.

Speaking of Thursdays, next week's ECW will be airing on Thursday at 7/6c due to SyFy's premiere of "Warehouse 13", which will be a two-hour premiere at 9/8c, thus "running over" ECW's time slot.

In what is probably the dumbest name change in the history of television, Sci-Fi will be known as SyFy starting next Tuesday, July 7. It is the same pronunciation, but a different spelling.

...I have never hated a wrestler so much then Abraham Washington. I hope he. Fails. Miserabley. Or goes back to developmental for a decade or so while this terrible gimmick flies form our heads.

**TPIB** · 01-07-2009, 04:39 AM

The whole time that he was on screen, I was wondering if that was his real hair or if he just scribbled on his head with a Sharpie before he came out. That's what it looked like.

They referred to him a couple of times as if he was a great talker. He sucks as a talker. There was too much space in between his words; a William Shatner type of thing. I do not really blame The Bellas in this one. They just happened to be part of the horrible segment. I kept expecting there to be a point to the whole bit; like maybe someone would come out and lay Washington out or something.

I see why they moved Finlay to SmackDown. With Sheamus around, Finlay would really look like he was pretending to be Irish. I was really impressed with Sheamus all-around. Does anyone else think that Oliver John is a weird name?

Dante Spears · 01-07-2009, 04:53 AM

I kept thinking about Olivia Newton John and why a wrestler would want a name like that.

If Abraham Washington gets taken seriously as a wrestler I'll have offcially given up all hope on ECW. AW is the most pointless thing I've ever heard since I phoned the walrus hotline (Quoting Yahtzee Aside)

Anyway,

Yoshi - I hope he doesn;t turn into a Jimmy Wang Yang character or a Funaki character. lets see this talent get put to some actual use.
Sheamus - either get a tan (Which might not work with the character) or wear wrestling pants. Seriouisly I don;t think it's healthy to be that colour.
Tyler - Do we really need another surfer gimmick?
Abraham Washington - See above plus several more pages of bile.

Sheamus isn't really that colour. I was watching FCW a few weeks ago where one half of his left leg was normal colour.

He was a little better in FCW under the "Presidential" gimmick.

S.O.S. is a good wrestler, so I'm hoping he does well. I also hope that this means Drew Galloway/McIntyre is due a call-up soon as they work well together.

**Darkstar** · 01-07-2009, 10:49 AM

I was never a fan of SOS myself.

The Fury · 01-07-2009, 12:12 PM

SOS was very impressive on his debut. Brutal moves and a smart finisher.

I dont like yoshitatsu's music, but here's he gets a good proper push.
