Little Help/Opinion Here
I haven't really had a chance to see much ECW since its return. I don't have cable, and even if I did, my local provider only carries it on digital. I don't really follow indies that much, or recent TNA. That being said, can someone give me the deal on the following guys, should I like them, and why. If you're a fan of them, sell them, if not, bury them. Just let me know.
Elijah Burke (Seen none of him) CM Punk (Seen a little ring work and heard quite a bit) Marcus Cor Von/Monty Brown (Saw several TNA promos) Mike Knox (Seen none of him) |

Okay f'reals...
I like Elijah Burke a lot. He's got pretty good mic skills, good charisma, and he's not great in the ring but he's all-around solid. I think he's got alot of upside and potential. CM Punk I'm a bit of a mark for. He's alittle watered down in ECW but I like his work. Like Burke, I dont know that there is any one thing he is spectacular at but there is nothing he doesn't do at least half-decent. Marcus Cor Von is pretty much the prototypical WWE Heavyweight Champ. Most of the time he is good on the mic, a little sub-par but decent enough in the ring, and he has a ridiculous yet entertaining finsher. Mike Knox was 'meh' at best. He hasn't been on TV in forever and I don't know that he ever will be. Very bland worker overall and pretty terrible on the mic. |

Elijah Burke doesn't really use the Elijah Experience anymore, it was just kinda a reverse russian leg sweep (i think it was, anyway). You might be thinking of the Elijah Express, which I guess is a little overrated but cool nonetheless. It's just a flying knee attack but it often comes out of nowhere and looks pretty legit.

Did I need to put more emphasis on the words "Most of the time"....?
I am aware of that whole promo, and excellent example of him going the other direction on the mic. |

Burke - Eh, he's decent. Got a good uture or him, and quite frankly I think ECW will be a good breeding ground for him where he can get national expose while not being on the big stages.
Punk - I like him. He was/remains one of the only RoH guys I actually can say that about. I see him kind of taking the RVD road...really over when he arrives, slowly his pops get smaller and smaller. He'll get a couple teases to be Main Eventer, but by the time he does get a run at the top, he'll be bland. That just my guess though. Either way, I salivate at the idea of a long drawn out Stoner Van Dam vs. Straight Edge Punk angle. Cor Von/Brown - One of the best mic workers in the industry...but for all the wrong reasons. Without him getting to do insain promos, he has no chance of getting over. Know - Piss break. |
