ECW on SyFy Report – November 10th, 2009
Report by Richard Trionfo, PWInsider
We start off with an early Veterans Day video package.
We are live on tape from Sheffield, United Kingdom and your announcers are Byron ‘Where is the Byron Saxton Show’ Saxton and Josh ‘this place looks familiar’ Mathews.
It is time for the show that needed a new country and Tony Atlas welcomes us to the Abraham Washington Show.
Abe says that the show is critically acclaimed and he says that tonight’s show will be monumentous because the show has gone international. Tony says the people talk funny and Tony lets out a few laughs. Abe makes the usual British dental jokes. Abe tries to talk over the crowd who are not big fans of Abe. Abe talks about the title match between William Regal and Christian. Since they will be wrestling tonight, he has Yoshi Tatsu as his guest.
Abe welcomes Yoshi and asks him how he is doing. Yoshi says that he does not speak English that well and he is nervous. Abe thanks Yoshi for being on the show and they go back and forth with thank yous while Tony laughs. Abe tells Tony to shut up and the crowd does not like it. Abe asks Yoshi who he thinks will win tonight and Yoshi says that Christian will win tonight. Abe wants to know what Yoshi was saying and we have a Rush Hour recreation. Yoshi mocks Tony’s laugh and Abe tells Yoshi that if anyone is going to insult Tony, it will be him.
Yoshi waits for Abe and Tony to leave and then he waves to the crowd.
