ECW (September 29, 2009)

I’m going back to the WWECW well with the September 29, 2009 episode of the show. They’re somewhere in Boston, MA this week and the awful announce duo of Matt Striker and Josh Mathews are, as always, on the call. Let’s go get…mildly extreme. Do they still get extreme in ECW?
