This match is from 2000 or so and features The Unholy Alliance (Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck with The Sinister Minister James Mitchel) challenging the F.B.I for the ECW tag team titles. This feud had really started to get good when the ECW went into bankruptcy. As this match shows it could have been as legendary as any wrestling feud in history.

Alright so it’s technically Friday but we all get busy. This is classic three way dance action from ECW which was always smart enough to not waste talented wrestlers like Guido in squash jobs. Enjoy:

The annual WWE interbrand draft was televised Monday during a special three hour edition of Raw.  How did ECW fair?  The wicked stepsister to Raw and Smackdown drafted a grand total of … drum roll, please … one superstar!

Vladimir Kozlov was drafted from Smack down and made his ECW debut last night in a boring match against a jobber. Management seems pretty invested in keeping him with the ECW brand since they’ve already added him to the opening video sequence.

Of course, Kozlov wasn’t really a pickup for ECW since they also lost a superstar.  The Miz was drafted to Raw in a move that separated him from his Dirt Sheet partner, Morrison.  Will this be the end of the self-proclaimed greatest tag team of the 21st century?  I’m just glad Mr. McMahon didn’t blow up this year.

The supplemental draft was slightly more eventful.  Here’s where we stand with ECW:

John Morrison from ECW to Smackdown

Hornswoggle from ECW to Raw

Ricky Ortiz from ECW to Smackdown

Alicia Fox from ECW to Smackdown

Natalya from Smackdown to ECW

Zack Ryder from Smackdown to ECW

Ezekiel Jackson from Smackdown to ECW

DH Smith from Raw to ECW

Hurricane Helms from Smackdown to ECW

What do you guys think of these draft results?  Is anyone even watching ECW anymore?

The legendary Tazz has been granted a requested release from his WWE contract, numerous wrestling news sources are reporting. The 41-year-old Smackdown color commentator reportedly cited a need to recharge his batteries as the reason for his departure.

Known as The Human Suplex Machine during his days in the original ECW, Tazz retired from in-ring action in 2002 due to injuries.  He has been calling matches for WWE since late 2000, and has been a respected ringside fixture in the company.

Tazz was spotted saying his goodbyes during Monday night’s taping, and his last show as Smackdown commentator is expected to air Friday.  Sources say he offered to work Wrestlemania, but it is unlikely he will be asked to participate.
