ECW Results: Monumental Mauling
He may not be the No. 1 contender to the ECW Championship, but Vladimir Kozlov has proven he’s a force to be reckoned with and isn’t backing down from any Extreme Superstar. The Moscow Mauler defeated ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer on Tuesday’s ECW on Syfy with a vicious Iron Curtain.
After the main event, as Kozlov continued his assault on Dreamer, an angry Christian stormed into the ring to attack Kozlov. Captain Charisma sought retribution for Kozlov’s distraction earlier in the night during his match against Shelton Benjamin. But Christian’s attack accidentally knocked down Dreamer, and Kozlov – still fuming because he lost No. 1 contendership the week before to Christian – turned his focus on Captain Charisma. The Sambo master leveled Christian, leaving the Night of Champions opponents helpless in the ring as Kozlov exited with a menacing smile on his face. Full results.
