6/17 ECW/SD:
The dark match was Elijah Burke defeating Funaki with a new finisher (claw into an STO... looks like Kenzo Suzuki's finisher when he was in the WWE). He went for the Elijah Express but Funaki got out of the way. Burke is sporting a new gimmick. I really don't know what it's about since he had no mic time. He came down in all black, holding a black diamond-encrusted goblet, with sunglasses with the Christian cross on each eye, with his long hair straightened. He came down to no music. I don't know where they were going with this. I don't know if it's a Blade vampire/goth thing they're going for (he was definitely holding the goblet like Gangrel used to hold his), or if it's some preacher gimmick or whatever... but he was definitely the heel here.
All I can say to this, is.. What the f*ck?..

Hmm. I guess Russo is selling ideas to Vince these days.  |

Oh god no, they ruined one of my favorites. This gimmick better never see the light of televised shows.

They killed Burke... the man was amazing as is. Or was. It's just like what they did to Kevin Thorn. Apparently they have never heard the saying "if it's not broken, don't fix it."

Bring back Gangrel, call Thorn up, and you've got yourselves a stable!

Eh, not too high on this idea. But at least maybe it'll get him on TV and winning matches for now. I don't like the idea of him straightening his hair, it'd look weird. I'll wait to see this on TV until I judge it though. And absolutely no need to change his finishing move. So many wrestlers have that finisher, or a modified version of it.

The black Wesley Snipes? Wait a minute...
Sounds lame. He could've gotten over if he stayed 'legit.'

Elijah was my favorite ECW guy... now, it seems he will suck.
