Former WWE referee Marty Elias has published a new column over at The Floor Seat, and the article recalls the night Tommy Dreamer won the ECW Championship in a Triple Threat match against Jack Swagger and Christian. Elias reveals the original plan in WWE was for Christian to retain the title, however, the match plan was changed, unbeknownst to Elias, and below is Elias recalling refereeing the bout without knowing the real plan.

It was now time for us to go out on PPV and do this as we had done many, many times. As usual, I was out there in the ring waiting for the boys to walk the aisle as their music played and start the match. One by one, they made their entrances. Swagger was out first and entered the ring. As Swagger entered, he looked at me and said, “Dreamer’s Up,” and then did his entrance. I stood there and I was puzzled for a second and wondered if I had heard Swagger correctly. Swagger walked by and gave me a grin, as only Swagger does, and didn’t say another word.

Next was Christian, and as he made his entrance, he calmly came over to me and pointed and said “Tommy’s Up,” then Swagger walked away and no sold what he had just said. My first thought was these guys are ribbing me and are no selling to the tilt!! It was now time for Dreamer’s entrance, as Dreamer made his way down Christian walked over and bumped me and said “Tommy’s Up!”

Dreamer made his entrance into the ring and did his Tommy Dreamer “E-C-Dub” chant, as only Dreamer does. I looked at Tommy and asked, “I heard you’re up?” Tommy looked and me and said, “yes I am.” I looked back at him and asked how can that be and why would they do that? Dreamer laughed and said, “let’s hurry up before they change their mind!”

The match started and went as planned and as I seen Dreamer get Swagger for his finish, I was there to count 3. 1,2,3, and your new ECW Champion is Tommy Dreamer! As I grabbed the title, it hit me! Holy smokes, Dreamer finally gets to enjoy being the ECW Champion!

The issues between Daniel Bryan and The Miz have been brewing for a very long time now; certainly beyond the last few weeks and their squabbling on Smackdown Live.

The former blue brand General Manager issued a challenge to the A-Lister last week, and we now have official confirmation that Miz has accepted the offer for a one-on-one match at WWE SummerSlam in less than two weeks time.

Unfortunately, the reality-television-star-turned-pro-wrestler-turned-reality-television-star will apparently not be appearing live on tonight’s edition of Smackdown, as he sent a message to Bryan from “on set” of his hit USA Network show Miz & Mrs. Check out the video below.

Above is the latest episode of “Ten Pounds of Gold”:

History has been made in the last few months at Cody and the Young Bucks sold out the Sears Center for ALL IN. Today Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling sold out Madison Square Garden.

A year ago, William Patrick Corgan and the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) were in a vastly different place. The Smashing Pumpkins hadn’t reunited yet and the famous Ten Pounds of Gold was not see in the same light it is today. With hardwork and vision, Corgan and team have taken both brands to new stratosphere.

The Smashing Pumpkins are currently on a forty-city plus tour across North America and soon Europe. The NWA Worlds Championship is set to be defended by Nick Aldis against The American Nightmare Cody.

This episode of NWA Ten Pounds of Gold looks at the journey of the People, Places and Things surrounding the rise of this independent movement with the National Wrestling Alliance, Cody’s pursuit of Dusty Rhodes NWA Title, The Young Bucks, Ring of Honor Wrestling and Madison Square Garden.

As noted, WWE NXT star Tegan Nox suffered another injury setback during this year’s Mae Young Classic tapings, when she appeared to have broken her knee during her first round tournament match.

During yesterday’s NXT Takeover media conference call with Triple H, The Game did not specify when Nox will be returning from injury, but he did note that she has a “long road” ahead of her.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, there were plans in place for Nox to be involved in the finals of this year’s Mae Young Classic, but those plans were forced to be changed when Nox exited the tournament early with injury. As a result, the finals of the tournament will be Io Shirai vs Toni Storm, and that match will take place at WWE Evolution.
