WWE taped tonight's edition of ECW from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Thanks to Wrestling News World readers Jimmy Davis and Jordan Basenback for providing us with text-message updates. Below are live, ongoing results:
* The taping opens with a WrestleMania 26 video package.
Dark Match:
* Dolph Ziggler b. Jimmy Wang Yang
ECW (Airing tonight on SyFy):
* Shelton Benjamin b. Zack Ryder with Pay Dirt. Ryder landed the majority of the offense in the beginning but Shelton came back for the win. I'm told the crowd was pro-Shelton but not very loud for the short match.
* Goldust vs. Sheamus in a no disqualification match is announced as the show's main event.
* The Abraham Washington Show is up next. Tony Atlas comes out as the new announcer for the show. I'm told his mic is inaudible to the live audience. Tony plays the Ed McMahon role during the monologue and makes Arsenio Hall and LeBron James jokes. Gregory Helms, not Hurricane, is the guest. Paul & Katie Lea Burchill come out. Atlas says Katie Lea is hot as Hurricane comes on the screen and challenges Paul to a match next week. Burchill gets heat from the crowd.
* Vladimir Kozlov & Ezekiel Jackson w/William Regal b. Jim Parks & Mike Tolar (local workers). After the match Tommy Dreamer and Christian come out and take out Regal, Kozlov and Jackson with kendo sticks.
* Tommy Dreamer & Christian vs. Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov is announced for next week.
* Sheamus b. Goldust in a no disqualification match. The pair lockup to start the match. Shortly after, Sheamus tries to leave but Goldust chases him and throws him back in the ring. The match goes back and forth but Sheamus gets the win with his finisher. No weapons were used.
