They aired an extended recap of last night’s goofy Raw show. After the break, Gregory Helms asked Paul Burchill how that worked out for him. Burchill just screamed and walked away.
Up next was the Abraham Washington Show with Maria as special guest. Seriously. Washington started with a rant about how he should have won a Slammy last night. Abe replayed Batista interrupting Maria last night. Anyway, Maria and Tony started ridiculing Abe, Abe makes jokes right back. It all was a big waste of time leading to nothing (except maybe an Atlas/Washington split; then again, that is essentially nothing).
Ezekiel Jackson v. Vladimir Kozlov
Josh Matthews let us know that there are 16 men in the tournament and that the eight winners would face off, though he didn’t say in what kind of match. They started with a body slam drill with Jackson hitting three in a row on Kozlov. We then moved to elbow drops as Kozlov hit three in a row on a stationery Jackson. Kozlov then hit three headbutts. As he went to bounce off the ropes, Regal tripped up Kozlov which allowed Jackson to hit a uranage for the win. They wisely took no chances with these two. After the match, Kozlov confronted Regal allowing Jackson to attack from behind. Regal and Jackson then threw Kozlov into the announcer table.
Jackson d. Kozlov, Pin, 1:38, DUD.
Backstage, Croft and Barreta were marking out to themselves beating DX in the new video game.
