00:00Yes, sir. We promised you a great main event here tonight.
00:04Hey, Classy, the make out can't be easy.
00:06WrestleMania!
00:07Hulkamania is running wild in...
00:09Brock Lesnar!
00:11New York City!
00:14There's not a world that's watching!
00:30Your words are dangerous. Your talk is cheap.
00:34I'm standing here. Still standing here.
00:38Don't question my heart. Still standing here.
00:42Don't question the fire that burns inside.
01:00From the O2 Arena in London, England, this is ECW.
01:12Hello, everyone. I'm Josh Matthews. He's Matt Stryker.
01:16And tonight, we prepare for Backlash.
01:19Cheerio, mates. This evening, we will make it official.
01:22Less than one week away from Backlash,
01:24we will have the ECW Championship Match contract signing.
01:28These are always good to see.
01:44Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Hortzron and Finlay!
01:59Finlay alongside his mischievous son, Hornswoggle.
02:03I know that Finlay has a very important announcement to make.
02:29Guys, as many of you probably know,
02:33my son, Hornswoggle, was drafted to RAW last week.
02:40So, that being said, tonight is Hornswoggle's last night on ECW.
02:49So, that being said, what we're going to do...
02:53Actually, tell them what you want to do.
02:58I... I... I... I... I... I want to wrestle!
03:08I want to wrestle!
03:13Okay, okay, okay!
03:15What?
03:16So...
03:17Hornswoggle! Hornswoggle! Hornswoggle!
03:23Hornswoggle! Hornswoggle! Hornswoggle!
03:28So, what we're going to do is,
03:30we're going to ask Tiffany if she can put him in some action tonight.
03:37But most importantly, guys,
03:39Hornswoggle wanted to come out here, say thank you,
03:43and say goodbye to everybody.
03:54That's Tyson Kidd alongside Natalya.
04:02I didn't even know that Hornswoggle could talk.
04:04Well, Tyson Kidd can certainly talk,
04:06and if you listen, he'll tell you that he closed the world's famous Heart Dungeon,
04:11the training center of many superstars,
04:14the last graduate of the Heart Dungeon,
04:16the Stampede Kid, Tyson Kidd.
04:19It's bittersweet here at ECW, the final appearance for Hornswoggle.
04:30Aww, the little midget wants to come out and say goodbye.
04:39Well, I say, good riddance.
04:41Because with you gone, leaves more time for a guy like me.
04:47Hey, Hornswoggle, it's the Teletubbies.
04:52Listen, he's a leprechaun.
04:55You're the midget.
04:59What are you laughing at, you little troll?
05:02Tyson Kidd was trained by my family, the Hearts, and the Dungeon.
05:10And when my Uncle Brett referred to himself as the best there ever will be,
05:16he lied.
05:18Because that's Tyson's destiny.
05:23So, if you want a match with Tyson,
05:26you could probably get one,
05:28but Tyson's too good for that,
05:31and it would probably be a little short.
05:36Heck, I could even beat ya.
05:40So why don't you and your dad run along,
05:43leave the ring, and make room
05:46for superstars like Tyson and myself.
05:58The little guy got a hunk of the hide, huh?
06:03Hornswoggle wants more.
06:04You want a farewell match, you little runt?
06:07It's you versus me, how about it?
06:14Is this match actually going to take place?
06:16We'll find out when ECW returns.
06:25Welcome back to ECW, and it's official.
06:28During the break, our interim general manager Tiffany came out,
06:31made the announcement Hornswoggle will go one-on-one with Natalya.
06:44Hornswoggle competing here on ECW,
06:47his final appearance as Hornswoggle was drafted to RAW.
06:52Hornswoggle had a little derriere delicacy before the break,
06:55and that's why we're here right now.
07:03Now, Hornswoggle has competed in serious competition before, right Nat?
07:06Oh yeah, Hornswoggle's tangled with The Miz,
07:09and with Jamie Noble, and a few other superstars.
07:11Yeah, I was actually referring to you in the time that Hornswoggle
07:14pinned you in this arena.
07:16Let's talk about the match here.
07:21You gotta wonder what's going through Hornswoggle's mind
07:23as he's been drafted to RAW away from his father, Finlay.
07:27And a spear, Hornswoggle with the cover, Natalya kicks out.
07:33Hornswoggle all over Natalya, another cover.
07:41Tyson wants to get a better look at the action.
07:44There you go.
07:47Tyson King better watch out for Finlay.
07:55The daughter of Jim Neanderthal, Neidhart,
07:57rolled up there!
07:59By Hornswoggle, he got her!
08:01He got her!
08:04The doughy little fellas!
08:06Hornswoggle!
08:11A lasting impression here!
08:14Hornswoggle on his last night on the Dove,
08:16on his way to Monday Night RAW,
08:18Hornswoggle's victorious!
08:25Well, Tyson King got involved,
08:28which drew out Finlay.
08:32Natalya not happy about that at all,
08:34and Hornswoggle took advantage
08:36with the schoolboy for the victory.
08:42And Hornswoggle having a great time right now
08:45with Finlay and some great members of the WWE Universe.
08:58Well, it is a feel-good moment right now,
09:00but that feeling will change and intensify later tonight
09:05in the ECW Championship match at Backlash
09:09becomes official.
09:18What will happen when the ECW Champion,
09:20Zack Swagger and Christian are in the same ring
09:24at the same time to sign their Backlash contract?
09:33Welcome back to ECW.
09:35You are looking at the Tower of London.
09:38It crosses the River Thames and opened in 1894.
09:42The WWE, over here in the United Kingdom,
09:45we are truly a global phenomenon.
09:53Listen up, Tiffany, I need to talk to you.
09:55I'm sorry, would you excuse us for just a moment?
09:57You know, I know you're new to this job,
09:59and you're probably in a little over your head,
10:01but I want you to know something in case you don't know.
10:04Okay? I'm a third-generation diva,
10:06and I'm practically royalty.
10:08And what that little gnome Hornswoggle did tonight
10:11was unacceptable, and I want him fired.
10:14I want it done tonight.
10:16First of all, you need to calm down
10:19and show me a little respect.
10:22Now, let me make myself clear.
10:24I may be new at this, but the two of you
10:27do not get to barge into my office
10:30and walk all over me.
10:32Now, I understand that Hornswoggle has been
10:34a bit of a pain in the butt.
10:36Cute.
10:37So I tell you what I'm gonna do.
10:39This week on WWE Superstars,
10:41it'll be you, Natalya, and Tyson
10:44versus Finlay and Hornswoggle.
10:47No, not a chance.
10:48We're not getting in the ring with that little freak.
10:50We want him gone for good.
10:51Yeah, we do.
10:52Well, there you go. We both win.
10:54Hornswoggle leaves ECW for Raw after tonight.
10:58And as far as the match on WWE Superstars goes,
11:01it stands.
11:02Now, if the two of you would excuse me,
11:04I have to get back to this contract signing.
11:15Well, the benevolent beauty, General Manager Tiffany,
11:17certainly making waves here on ECW,
11:19making a huge tag team match for this Thursday
11:22on WWE Superstars.
11:23Well, Matt, speaking of making waves,
11:25Monday Night Raw is an absolute sea of turmoil
11:29as the personal and bitter rivalry
11:31between Triple H and Randy Orton continues.
11:33Just last night, Triple H and Randy Orton met
11:35in a no disqualification WrestleMania rematch.
11:39And now, the Raw Rebound is brought to you
11:43by WWE Mobile.
11:45Download Triple H's ringtone at m.wwe.com.
11:53At Backlash, it's about the WWE title.
11:56Tonight, Triple H seeks retribution.
12:01For a new wonder.
12:04The road you walk by, the wind says passing over.
12:09But it won't find you.
12:12Take what you can.
12:15Change the living.
12:18Tonight, it's a no disqualification
12:20WrestleMania main event rematch.
12:24Tonight, it's time for Randy Orton
12:26to play the game.
12:28Isolate yourself in.
12:32You will find there's no rhyme or reason
12:37that it won't find you.
12:39Triple H is on borrowed time.
12:41And he knows it.
12:43Change the season.
12:45But tonight, I am going to beat Triple H.
12:52It's the end of the line.
12:54I guarantee it.
12:56He went for the punt.
12:57And Triple H.
13:01Oh, look at Rhodes.
13:02Dibiase.
13:03Legacy.
13:04Attacking Triple H.
13:05And I will find you.
13:07Here comes Shane.
13:08Oh, what a wonder.
13:10And the fight's on.
13:11And I will climb through.
13:13This rock on my back.
13:17Triple H is down.
13:19But here comes The Animal.
13:21Batista.
13:23Changing of the seasons.
13:28Is he in now?
13:31Is he in now?
13:34Is he in now?
13:36RKO from out of nowhere.
13:38And Randy Orton has stolen a victory.
13:41He's pinned the WWE champion.
13:44And the question, Sunday at Backlash,
13:47can Triple H's team function with the teamwork
13:51necessary for victory?
13:53The WWE Championship hangs precariously in the balance.
14:03It intensifies at Backlash,
14:05as Triple H's WWE Championship is at stake for the first time ever
14:09in a six-man tag team match.
14:11The experts agree that we have never seen such personal animosity
14:14as the likes that exist between these six men.
14:17And in the fact that if any member of Triple H's team gets pinned or submits,
14:21Randy Orton wins the game's WWE title.
14:24Who's really in jeopardy here?
14:27It becomes official tonight at Backlash.
14:30Jack Swagger defends his ECW Championship against Christian.
14:34Can Christian overcome the two-time All-American 21st Century Superstar?
14:40ECW Champion Jack Swagger stands in Captain Charisma's way.
14:45Two men will enter, but only one man will walk out
14:48as the World Heavyweight Champion in a last-man-standing match.
14:53It is simple. Incapacitate your opponent to the point
14:55that he cannot rise before a ten-count.
14:57Edge and John Cena have been hit with everything.
14:59What's it gonna take to keep one of these men down?
15:02The World's Heavyweight Championship provides the ultimate inspiration.
15:16He's got a spectacular fall.
15:19Approaching the ring from St. Louis, Missouri,
15:21weighing 183 pounds,
15:24Evan Bourne!
15:29The energy level is about to pick up in the land of extreme
15:33as the dynamic Evan Air Bourne is in action next.
15:46Welcome back to ECW, and thank you to the Veer Union for Seasons.
15:51It's the official Backlash theme song, and it's available now.
16:01And Evan Bourne, ready for action here in the land of extreme,
16:05and the United Kingdom is in for a treat, Matt.
16:08And the United Kingdom is in for a treat, Matt.
16:14And it's a big attack to the ring by Katie Lee from Chelsea, England,
16:18weighing 247 pounds,
16:21Paul Burchill!
16:24Here comes the relentless Paul Burchill.
16:26Little-known fact, the Ripper, Paul Burchill, left the United Kingdom
16:30claiming that there was no one left to beat up.
16:32I wonder if the Ripper has ever faced anyone with the skills of Evan Bourne.
16:38Here's Paul's sister, the Starling Witch, Katie Lee Burchill.
16:54Josh, so many people talking about Backlash,
16:57everyone talking about the fact that if anyone on Triple H's team
17:01loses the match, pinfall, submission, count-out, disqualification,
17:04Triple H loses the WWE Championship.
17:10So even if someone gets disqualified or counted out,
17:13Randy Orton becomes the new WWE Champion in Backlash.
17:17That's why I ask, who's really in jeopardy?
17:19Right now, Evan Bourne.
17:24Dropped a toehold there by Evan Bourne.
17:26So quick is the dynamic Evan Bourne.
17:29Keep in mind that Burchill has the experience factor,
17:31and Burchill also has a mean streak.
17:33Also has a couple of knees underneath his chin.
17:35And now Evan Bourne hooks the leg.
17:37It's a one-and-a-half count.
17:39Spoke to Katie Lee earlier.
17:41She described her brother as most brutal and vicious.
17:48Evan looked to land on that hip right there,
17:50maybe that lower back area.
17:52And now Evan Bourne,
17:54Evan looked to land on that hip right there,
17:56maybe that lower back area.
18:00You'll notice here, Paul Burchill uses those knee braces as weapons,
18:04though it is legal because it's part of his in-ring attire.
18:12And right now, everything that Paul Burchill is doing
18:15seems to be working right now.
18:18Wow!
18:20Pinwheel, tilt-the-whirl,
18:21looked like Evan went for the arm drag,
18:23but Burchill countered with those knees.
18:27Brings back the size advantage that Matt pointed out earlier.
18:29Burchill goes for a cover, doesn't hook the leg,
18:31and a kick-out.
18:35Look at the mal-intent in the eyes of Katie Lee and Paul Burchill.
18:40This is called a dragon sleeper.
18:42Again, the knee right in between the shoulder blades,
18:44the pressure on the back of the neck.
18:46You can only imagine what Evan Bourne is going through.
18:54Short on clothesline by Paul Burchill,
18:56keeping Evan Bourne grounded.
19:00Again, very smart by Burchill
19:02with a right back to the point of attack.
19:05Matt, last week we saw Evan Bourne compete
19:07in a one-on-one matchup with John Morrison.
19:09It was Morrison's last match here on ECW,
19:11but we saw a different side of Evan Bourne.
19:13We saw more of a stronger physical side of Evan Bourne.
19:16Evan proved that he can take punishment.
19:18Evan stayed in a potential situation
19:21Evan stayed in a potential submission maneuver
19:23for close to two minutes.
19:30Burchill wearing down Evan Bourne right now.
19:33Butterfly suplex, and Bourne goes halfway across the ring.
19:37Knee breaking right into the chest.
19:39Matt, that'll also take the oxygen away from Evan Bourne, right?
19:48And Burchill with a big suplex.
19:50I'll tell you, hang on a second.
19:52Burchill now into the cover.
19:54Two count.
19:55Two count.
19:56Two count.
19:57Two count.
19:58Two count.
19:59Two count.
20:00Two count.
20:01Two count.
20:02Two count.
20:03Two count.
20:04Two count.
20:05Two count.
20:06Evan Bourne escapes.
20:07Like most of us, I can appreciate the exciting nature of Evan Bourne.
20:10I really have to admire Paul Burchill's attack right now,
20:13grounding the high flyer.
20:15I admire Burchill's tenacity and aggressiveness.
20:23I'm sure we'll be seeing more of Paul Burchill here on ECW.
20:26Paul and his sister Katie were very nervous and apprehensive
20:29about the WWE Draft.
20:30They're afraid they're going to be split up.
20:32They're here on ECW.
20:33And right now, Paul Burchill's in control of Evan Bourne.
20:44Wow!
20:45Trap leg overhead suplex.
20:49Great extension there by Paul Burchill.
20:52And now Burchill hooks the leg and Evan Bourne somehow escapes.
20:56Take a look at this suplex by Paul Burchill.
21:04I ripped on the chin!
21:07Burchill's smart to wrap one leg around the torso of Evan Bourne.
21:11It makes it harder for Evan to get out of this maneuver.
21:13You can't fly when you're grounded.
21:21And so far, Paul Burchill couldn't have drawn up a better game plan for how this match has gone.
21:26It's not surprising. Burchill knows what he's doing. A master of his craft.
21:34Ah!
21:41Look at that, back and forth, trying to twist that head off like a bottle cap.
21:49No!
21:51Evan Bourne trying to reach that bottom rope. Can he get there?
21:54He does now, and Burchill just snatches him away from it.
21:56Well, the rules state you must have your hand completely on the rope for a submission to be broken,
22:00so the official right on point there.
22:04Ah!
22:10Matt, what is Evan Bourne, what can Evan Bourne do to escape?
22:12Is the rope the only way that Evan Bourne can get this hold to be broken?
22:15No, if Evan can swing, listen to the pain.
22:17If Evan can swing around and sit up, he can alleviate some of that pressure,
22:20try to work back to a vertical base.
22:25Bourne trying to slip from behind, don't want to get caught though.
22:29There he is!
22:30This could be the break Evan needs.
22:32It only takes a millisecond with this young man, Evan Bourne.
22:36And Burchill continues to stay one step ahead of Evan Bourne.
22:43Don't forget, still to come here on ECW,
22:45the contract signing for the ECW championship match at Backlash,
22:50the All-American, American Jack Swagger and Christian.
22:53It should be interesting when these two get in the ring.
22:57What's interesting to me is that Evan Bourne has a well-documented ankle injury
23:01as well as a high back sprain.
23:03I wonder if Paul Burchill is focusing on that right now with knowledge of this.
23:07He has to be.
23:14Right there, right between the shoulder blades.
23:18Matt mentioning, once again, our ECW championship match at Backlash.
23:21You've got to wonder if Christian will be intimidated a little bit
23:24by the All-American, American Jack Swagger.
23:27I don't think so. Christian's been around the block and across the street,
23:30but if anyone's intimidating, it's the two-time All-American Jack Swagger.
23:38Katie Lee's a little intimidating.
23:40To you.
23:46I can't help it, the way you say Jack Swagger's name,
23:49it's almost like you're a fan of Jack Swagger.
23:51Why not? Who wouldn't be? It's fun to say. Say it with me.
23:53One, two, three.
23:54Swagger.
23:55Swagger.
23:56No, you didn't do it.
23:58Oh, ducks the clothesline.
24:00Wow.
24:01That's what I'm talking about earlier.
24:03Evan Bourne can captivate at any particular junction in a contest.
24:09The window of opportunity is now open for Evan Bourne.
24:12Keep your eye.
24:15Wow.
24:17Burchill stacked up and just able to kick out.
24:22Spinning heel kick by Evan Bourne who's starting to get ignited.
24:25Evan's offense is not compromised.
24:30Reversal, Bourne off the other way and there's that clothesline from Evan Bourne.
24:33Into the cover, hooks the outside leg.
24:35What a kickoff by Burchill.
24:36Look at the respect Bourne has for Burchill going quickly for a deep cover.
24:40Whoa.
24:41Modified urinati and that could be the end for Evan Bourne.
24:45Paul Burchill just grabbed Evan Bourne on a midair.
24:49So Bourne rolls away from his opponent.
24:51Very smart.
24:52He's under the rope.
24:53He's under the rope.
24:54Come on.
24:55He's under the rope.
24:56It's good wing savvy for young Evan Bourne.
24:59Burchill connecting with those knees earlier.
25:01Misses this time.
25:02Burchill stacked up and powers through.
25:05Able to escape.
25:08Evan Bourne's best weapon in his arsenal
25:10is the airborne, the shooting star press.
25:12Will we hear it?
25:13We'll hear it.
25:14The defense is back.
25:15Evan Bourne is going after the shot!
25:17It's in the air.
25:18It's in the air.
25:19It's in the air!
25:20It's in the air!
25:21It's in the air!
25:22It's in the air!
25:23It's in the air!
25:24It's in the air!
25:25The airborne the shooting star press will we see it now?
25:33All virtual takes it away from all of us
25:49Escape
25:55You can feel the energy change in the arena
26:03Shooting star press that will get it done
26:15What a hard-fought victory for Evan airborne he certainly earned this win
26:25There's no question that Evan Ford is a hybrid athlete he was dominated early on by Paul Birchell
26:33As we've seen that there is absolutely no way
26:39Evan was enduring all kinds of punishment, but here so beautiful so unique it only takes three seconds watch again
26:47It only takes three seconds watch again
26:55Elevation is sick
27:06WWE Universe is on their feet for Evan born
27:13Shut up and listen to me very careful
27:18повторяться больше не буду
27:23Они эти двое
27:25I have dominate everywhere
27:29ECW will be no different
27:32Слышите меня внимательно говорит Владимир Козлов
27:35It doesn't matter who is going to be
27:38I am coming for championship
27:41I have lost my tolerance
27:44Everyone must fall
27:50Because law will be a champion
28:14This is the O2 arena here in London, England on tonight to ECW
28:35Making his way to the ring from Moscow weighing 302 pounds Vladimir Kozlov
28:44And his opponent from London, England weighing 190 pounds Frankie Sloan
28:52Well good luck Frankie those of you hip to the UK scene know Frankie Sloan is a British Commonwealth champion
28:58But Frankie is in the ring with a systematic Soviet a man who poses a clear and present danger Vladimir Kozlov
29:06It doesn't matter where I am
29:10In England, in America or anywhere in the world
29:36Cold War
29:40Vladimir Kozlov stating that Russian athletes are superior
29:46And that the resume of Vladimir Kozlov is amazing
29:49And he's pinned future Hall of Famers Triple H and The Undertaker and not too many people can say they've done that in their careers
29:56Vladimir's been trained his only motivation is to be the very best Vladimir knows nothing other than superiority
30:05Oh
30:08Vladimir Kozlov a member of the ECW roster as a result of the WWE Draft
30:13And Kozlov is all over Frankie Sloan right now
30:18Rod says everyone must fall
