Yup. In a castle called TNA, I think. The same thing applies to Burke that does to Paul London. Still in his prime. Just lose the goth look, go back to the dreads and the beads, and I think Elijah has all the tools to be successful.
Kenny needs a break to make everyone forget his face. He should come back to the E after a while, on the condition that there is no reference made to his previous exploits with the E.

I saw Elijah wrestle C.M. Punk at a house show and it was definitely the best match on the card. (Granted, the show included such technical masters as Mark Henry, Big Daddy V and Hornswoggle, plus a main event of Batista vs Khali.) Burke did an excellent job of connecting with the crowd, giving them a reason to dislike him other than simply because he was beating up on the face. I honestly thought he was going to be the one to divest Punk of the ECW title.
And on an unrelated note, Burke had cornrows, not dreads. There's a big difference between the two and confusing them could get you shot in certain barbershops. | geemoney

I dunno about that. Burke was definitely better than serviceable in the ring and had the ability to give the fans special reasons to hate him. In any case, he was better than 60-70% of the ECW roster in terms of in-ring ability.
You may be onto something with respect to Kenny, though.

WWE really has displayed the attitude of wanting their guys to live and breathe the business at the expense of everything else. HHH has long been a proponent of that, from most interviews I've seen, and those with that attitude are always praised for their dedication in interviews and docs on DVDs. I'm not saying that's right; actually, I'm pretty sure it's bad for them personally, but it's still clearly what WWE expects.

Yes, but RVD was a multiple-time champion and a bonafide star in the WWE for many years. Burke was buried, left out of TV for months, then released. If they both had the same problem, I'd say RVD got off pretty easy.
