I don't really bother with ECW much, but I'm surprised at the lack of reaction for Punk. Is this a regular thing now? He was getting great reactions a few months back. Did joining the New Breed kill his heat?

Probably. I mean, the kiddies probably think he's a bad guy because he showed humanity, and smarks stopped caring when the WWE fucked up with him. And before anyone says "zOMG! Punk is overrated! Let's put him in the main event of WrestleMania and unify the World Titles! I'm funny," he didn't need a main event push, what he needed was decent development of character. The WWE has fucked that up pretty good.
Elijah Burke has some good heat on him. I'm not sure if that will translate from ECW over to the Judgment Day crowd, but if it does, the fans should get more and more behind Punk, and if the match is great, the fans could begin to care about him again.
