New Wrestling Rumors

ECW kicked off last night with the Elijah Burke of the New Breed introducing CM Punk as its latest member. Rob Van Dam of The Originals interrupted the introduction from Elijah Burke. He directed the question to CM Punk as to why he wanted to join the New Breed. This began an argument between Rob Van Dam and Elijah Burke and led to the Main Event for the night. Throughout the show, CM Punk was giving pointers to other members of the New Breed. Elijah Burke told him he appreciated the pointers however he must “fall in line”. The match kicked off and both opponents were close to pinfalls at one time. Towards the end of the match, the referee was knocked out. Both opponents were on the mat. CM Punk was at ringside. Elijah Burke told CM Punk to throw him the chair to use on Rob Van Dam. CM Punk slid the chair accross the ring hard enough to get to Rob Van Dam. Rob Van Dam got the chair and used it on Eiljah Burke. He got the ref, and covered Elijah Burke for the win. The show went off the air with Elijah Burke on the mat and CM Punk bending over him saying he was sorry.

CM Punk started his ECW career by defeating well known superstars such as Stevie Richards, Shannon Moore, and Justin Credible to go undefeated for some time. His major conflict came between Mike Knox and himself. Mike Knox’s girlfriend Kelly Kelly had a crush on him.

His first ECW loss was to Hardcore Holly on January 30, 2007 which ended his 6 month undefeated streak. He participated in The Money In The Bank Ladder Match at Wrestlemania 23 to win a chance to get a contract to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship belt, however Mr. Kennedy won the match. On April 10, 2007, CM Punk shocked the world by joining the ECW New Breeds.
