Shane Douglas was advertised to wrestle Al Snow at Saturday's "Legends of the Arena" event promoted by longtime ECW performer Francine and her husband Joe to raise money for the American Cancer Society, but pulled a no-show.

When Snow came out for his match, he blamed the Head, saying he was responsible for all their losses to Douglas in the past and now that he had a chance to beat him, Head pulled this. The lights went out and when they returned, Jerry Lynn was in the ring. A few minutes into the match, the crowd began chanting, "Fuck Shane Douglas!"

Douglas was scheduled to fly in Friday, but claimed he missed his flight. When Douglas attempted to re-book his flight for Saturday, he called claiming an issue at the airport, saying he was there and couldn't rebook the flight. Ultimately, he did not come to the show, and the word going around the locker room was that he was in a cast from his ankle injury at the TNA Slammiversary pay-per-view and "didn't want fans to see him in the cast". Whatever the case may be, Douglas had a plane ticket and a hotel room paid for him, but he didn't come.

Douglas was scheduled to be inducted into the Hardcore Hall of Fame at the event as there was a banner made for him. A decision was made to just announce Douglas couldn't make it as they didn't want to be bury anyone on what was supposed to be a feel good show for a good cause.

Tammy Sytch was also scheduled to appear at the show, but did not appear as well. In fact, her picture was on the banner advertisements promoting the show. Sytch backed out of the appearance to take a booking in California.

Beyond Douglas and Sytch, Tracy Smothers and Jack Victory also missed the event. Smothers had a conflict with his full-time job and couldn't attend. In Victory's case, a personal issue came up at the last minute, thus preventing him from doing the show.

FRESNO, Calif. – Thanks to Donald Trump's blockbuster 15-Superstar trade and ECW's New Superstar Initiative, the Land of the Extreme is a changed place. The New Era of ECW is full of new faces and plenty of hungry ECW Superstars ready to make an Extreme impact on Tuesday nights.

Vladimir Kozlov & William Regal def. ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer & Christian
Sunday night's Bash competitors became tag team partners on ECW this week, when ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer joined Christian to face Vladimir Kozlov and William Regal, the later who arrived via Trump's trade. Dreamer & Christian seemed to put their differences aside for the match, but their bond wasn't strong enough to withstand the impact of The Moscow Mauler and his English partner. The ECW Original lost the tag team match after the unstoppable Kozlov pinned him for the win. How will Regal's presence affect ECW? Who will dare to get in the ring the brutal Kozlov? What's next for Captain Charisma? And when will Dreamer defend the ECW Championship next?

Yoshi Tatsu def. Shelton Benjamin
ECW's General Manager, Tiffany, said ECW is the place to see the best, most talented, young Superstars in WWE today, and Yoshi Tatsu is proof. Shelton Benjamin made his return to ECW as part of Trump's trade, but was bested by one of Tuesday night's newest Superstars, Tatsu, who arrived via the New Superstar Initiative. The Japanese Superstar made an impressive debut in the Land of the Extreme, when he defeated The Gold Standard quickly with one swift kick and a pin after plenty of taunting and teasing from Benjamin. After making such a shocking debut, which Superstar will have the nerve to face brave newcomer Tatsu?

Sheamus def. local competitor
Irish eyes were smiling widely upon Sheamus during his ECW debut. Sheamus – who also arrived in ECW as part of the New Superstar Initiative – earned his first Extreme victory over a local competitor Tuesday night. Sheamus comes from Ireland and a long line of tough, Irish Superstars – such as Finlay, who moved to SmackDown in Trump's trade. It's clear this new ECW Superstar is poised to make an impact in the Land of the Extreme. How will his arrival affect ECW on Sci Fi?

"The Abraham Washington Show" debuts with The Bella Twins
Abraham Washington also made his ECW debut Tuesday night with his self-titled talk show. The special guests for his inaugural show were none other than the newest Extreme Divas – Nikki & Brie Bella. The sisters told Washington and the WWE Universe that being identical twins has its advantages and its disadvantages, in and out of the ring. The Bellas' discussion turned into a bit of sibling rivalry-tinged argument, of which Washington found himself caught in the middle. How will Washington and The Bellas' arrival on ECW impact Tuesday nights?

Zack Ryder meets Tyler Reks
Enthusiastic newcomer Tyler Reks met his future competition Tuesday night. The Southern California-raised, surf-loving Superstar approached Zack Ryder in the ECW locker room just two days before their match on "WWE Superstars." Ryder quickly told the "rookie" to get a few things straight – the best beaches are on his native Long Island, N.Y., and he better eat his "avocado rolls" to toughen up before their match Thursday night. Will Reks be as successful as the others in ECW's New Superstar Initiative when he faces Ryder on "WWE Superstars"? Tune in Thursday night at 8/7 CT on WGN America.

Next week: ECW on Thursday
WWE Universe: Don't forget, ECW on Sy Fy airs next week on a special night and time – Thursday at 7/6 CT.
