Regal vs Yoshi
William Regal really put on a show tonight executing a handful of exciting moves from a modified exploder suplex to a double under hook butterfly suplex, which looked pretty tricky to pull of as Regal really had to use strength and shift his legs while holding the young Yoshi.
Looks like the higher ups didn't want Tatsu to attempt the springboard spinning wheel kick that he botched last week. Regal told Tastu before the match he doesn't like foreign people and that got him heat that would stay with him through out the match.
Yoshi took massive punishment from Regal, but turned it around with a kick to the head and soon followed up with his roundhouse kick finisher to claim victory. Yoshi's pop still amazes me as
Gold Meets Gold..Who Could Meet Gold
Goldust still rules in the ring, that is what you call reliable. It was gold vs gold as the gold standard went against Goldust. The match was good and I'm really getting into Matt Striker's commentary, he's honing his skills.
Speaking of commentary Matthews and Striker stated that the match winner should be in line for a ECW title shot down the road. Goldust's uppercuts still are great as Benjamin tried to bounce of the corner ropes for a clothesline. I was confused at one point in the match where Goldust looked to the fans for momentum and I heard boos.
Benjamin wouldn't be denied as he flew from behind and slammed Goldust's neck onto the top rope and falling out side. Goldust couldn't recover in time as the gold standard ran back into the ring and hit him with the pay dirt for the win.
A third straight win for the gold standard, is a new push underway? The first week of Benjamin's return was a rough on as he fell to newcomer Yoshi Tatsu after a roundhouse kick in a matter of seconds, but the followers of the standard can rest easy following the third straight win for Benjamin.
A few days ago the WWE higher ups stated they were behind Benjamin and his abilities and the future seems a bit brighter now that Benjamin doesn't give the impression of being complacent (to them) and now has his longest win streak since lord knows when.
The icing on the cake would be becoming a three-time tag champ this week (Save.Us.Standard). Being a huge fan of Benjamin I'm optimistic, but cautious, things can instantly change.

Oh yeah, that's my pick...what a surprise huh?
Russian Warmachine vs Harlem Destruction
Global Domination?
We may be far from that, but maybe not too far from ECW domination
I didn't know Big Zeke was billed from Harlem, It's nice to have another dominant New Yorker on the roster. Zeke had no problem running through his opponent, who should get one heck of a good paycheck after the beating he took.
Zeke gave him a big boot and finished him off with that Rock Bottom-like Chokeslam. This guy is BACKED, Batista better move over. He flexed after his quick win and was interrupted by the Russian Warmachine, who stared him down in the ring.
