to me, Elijah's match Promo/Match on SD showcased Burke's abilities more than they've been able to do on ECW.
I enjoyed the match. Everything about that match made sense in the realm of what they were trying to get across.
Now what are we going to do about Elijah on ECW. That's where the problem lies.

That spear/spinebuster was really intense. I wonder if its being downplayed because Batista is generally unliked around here. Yeah like saying that it wasn't as good as getting smashed through the ring.

I actually thought this match made Elijah look really good.
1. It made him look like he is an actual threat. Batista basically talked him down before the match, as if he would be easy pickings. Burke went into the match unafraid, unintimidated, and even smacked Batista in the mouth with a nice punch to really start things off, sending a message.
2. It made him look smart. He didn't waste time taunting Batista or working the crowd. Instead, at his first opening he went to Batista's legs and attempted to ground him, and it worked for awhile and put Batista on the defensive.
3. He got beat by what amounted to the wrestling equivalent of a KO punch out of nowhere. That Spearbuster followed up by the Batista Bomb was an impressive enough finish to beat any main eventer.
So, considering the fact that Elijah is currently not doing much of anything and has been jobbed out to CM Punk a thousand times on ECW, and Batista is one of the most strongly pushed guys of the past three years going into a major PPV main event, I think this match was booked to make Elijah look as good as he possibly could (given the circumstances).

Well that part is accurate. Cole does have an insane amount of love for Batista. I think it surpasses Ross and SCSA's friendship as far as how much Cole puts Big Dave over. Not a fan of Batista, but facts are facts Elijah should have looked a lot weaker in that match if you used standard WWE logic. He looked decent, and honestly the Spearbuster did look damn painfull and would have been a spot used to end a PPV match. I don't think Elijah was squashed, sure he jobbed but every match has one guy jobbing and one guy going over. Just how a freaking match works.

I don't like Elijah too much, but I'm glad he got a rub (no jokes) from the main event.

Didn't like the spear/spinebuster spot all that much. But one thing cool about it was Dave grabbing his leg as soon as he got up from it.
