CM Punk and Elijha Burke just put on one of the best TV matches I have seen in a while. At a couple of points during the match, I actually thought Punk was going to lose, and it had psychology to it too.
PUSH BURKE! CONTINUE PUSHING PUNK!

They got me with that false finish victory roll with Burke holding the tights. Really good TV match.

Yeah it was good I preferred HBK/Edge on Raw, but it was still good.

It was a very good match. Not great, but good. Punk's match w/ Striker last week was good as well. Striker was good on commentary " It means he has four lives, the kids, the like the video games"

Eck, and I ignored it thinking it wasn't going to be that great.

Striker was good on commentary " It means he has four lives, the kids, the like the video games" My favorite line from Striker tonight was, "Why won't they love meeeee?" It was a sorta decent match. Not anything real special. A far too long chinlocky type of move from Burke, kinda boring after a while.

ECW has a strong base to build on with Punk, Burke and, Striker. That match was the best I have seen on TV in awhile.

ECW may not have much star power at the moment, but it is a very good show focused on wrestling. Even the fluff like Kelly's dancing was relatively short and did not impose on the rest of the show at all (the way that strip poker totally dominated the broadcast).
If WWE can keep this up, pretty soon they will have some stars in ECW because they built them.

Elijah Burke continues to make referrences to the prophet Elijah.
This is awesome.
Elijah Burke is an awesome athlete, he's got everything that Shelton Benjiman has, plus Charisma.
this guy will go far.

I really miss the chemistry that Burke had with Terkay, but I'll agree that Burke on his own has a good future too.
On an unrelated note, does anyone think Burke looks a lot like Ron Killings? Must be the braids.

to be honest, i really dont get Burke. he's just boring to me. I felt the same way in OVW. He has a good look, decent charisma, and passable ring skills, but just doesnt do it for me. But again, he put on a good match tonight, and i gotta give he and Punk credit.

Good match, but imho not as good as Edge/HBK (thanks to the weapons)...although this was mainly the crowd not getting the heat that Burke deserves.
At least there were CM Punk chants.

It was a nice match. Matt Striker was okay too. I'm surprised and happy that he didn't get involved.
