WWE ECW (June 2 2009) Review: Christian Is Solid, And The New Kidd On The Block Is Looking Good

The main event of this week's edition of ECW pitted Tyson Kidd against the champ, Christian. Kidd has looked really promising since his debut, with some really good matches, with ones against Evan Bourne and Finlay standing out in my memory. His match with Christian can now be added to that tally. It was a good, solid, wrestling match that gave the young guy a great rub by being in the ring with a classy veteran like Christian. Christian picked up the win, as he shoul, but not before elevating Kidd in our eyes.

• Tommy Dreamer cut a promo that he said could be his last one (I hope it is), but after being interrupted by Jack Swagger, he changed his mind and promised to win the title at Extreme Rules. I realy don't connect to Dreamer as a character. If he turned heel by somehow cheating to win the title, or better yet, by losing and refusing to honour his word that he would retire, he could be a little more interesting.
• For the first time, I really noticed Zack Ryder in his match against some local athlete. Ryder showed good aggression and personality, something that hasn't really come out before. I was pleasantly surprised. There seems to be a wave of young talent sweeping WWE, and I look forward to seeing what Ryder has in store.
• Mark Henry vs. Evan Bourne was all right. Looks like Henry's going to keep picking up fluke losses that will end with him ditching Tony Atlas. Who cares, did you say?
