Seriously. I just got done watching ECW. Jack Swagger vs. Christian was completely off the hook.
Great back and forth match. No botches to speak of. Swagger looked like a friggin' ring general already. Christian's selling was amazing. The crowd was hot(or was it? Maybe it was piped noise, regardless, it added to the match). Matt Striker and Todd Grisham are great at making ECW matches seem so important(never thought I'd see the day where I'm praising Grish). The match had a big match feel, and the two guys put on a perfect performance. If this match happened on a PPV with a major title on the line, people would have been screaming five-stars and MOTY. Maybe the mark in me is caught up in the moment, but it was just that awesome.
I love the way they've booked Swagger over the last couple months. Everyone can see the potential this guy has in the ring. Dare I say, Kurt Angle-potential. But he's still green, so what have they done? They've booked him against Matt Hardy, Finlay, and now Christian...guys who know how to work a match better than anyone. Tonight you really could see how it's helped Swagger. He looked confident and in control.
And on a sidenote, this is why ECW is so great for the WWE. Guys like Swagger would never have this kind of opportunity to shine on Raw or Smackdown. He's developed so much since his debut. People argue all the time about how WWECW is ruining the ECW legacy. It's not ruining anything. They're two completely different promotions, and both are/were very successful at what they set out to do.
At any rate, really awesome match. I think WWE puts ECW on .com on Wednesdays(if not, dailymotion.com it lol), I'd advise anyone with a spare 25 minutes check this match out. Great stuff.
