ECW On Sci-Fi Results - April 22, 2008
Kofi Kingston offered Shelton Benjamin a handshake backstage in advance of their match later tonight. Shelton refused and guaranteed victory.


Kofi Kingston v. Shelton Benjamin


Kofi hit a strong dropkick to begin but was caught going for a crossbody as Benjamin hit a shoulderbreaker. Shelton went to an arm bar one minute in the match, making it 14 out of the last 15 matches that he has used a rest hold (including the last week’s 8-man tag). He did some more work on the left arm before he was caught off the top rope with a Kofi dropkick. That led to a near fall. Shelton then went right back to the arm bar. Both guys at least did some nice mat work from that position. Back standing, Kofi landed a sloppy trouble in paradise for the abrupt ending. The match was way too short to accomplish its goal of elevating Kofi. And knowing how short the match was going to be, was there really a need for an extended rest period?
