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.
