We know that last night on RAW, ECW gained Matt Hardy and lost CM Punk and Kane. I'm preciting that Chavo will win the US Title and take it back to Smackdown as well. That would leave a lot of space in ECW. Is this the time for Burke to rise and start a push? Maybe a program with Matt Hardy for the ECW Title down the line. I also wouldn't mind if Carlito moved to ECW as well. Let the young guys on the brand and keep guys like Big Show and Kane on the bigger brands. Matt Hardy can become the face of ECW.

Your thoughts?

Matt to ECW was the biggest disappointment of the draft. ECW is a developmental brand. Matt doesn't need that kind of development as he is already over and will always be over.

Although they should have sent Carlito to ECW or Smackdown. There is nothing for him on Raw. He might just consider leaving WWE again.

I don't like Burke's new look/gimmick. He was better before.

I agree... WWE was trying too hard to keep everything surprising, and messed up with moving someone that needed to stay right where he was. Of all the draft picks, that was the one I have the most trouble with.

Maybe they'll trade Matt Hardy for Kane?

Chavo is on ECW too, not SD

I hope Elijah FINALLY gets the push he deserves. It is LONG overdue

I don't know, technically Chavo is on ECW (when did that happen?) as he and Bam Neely wrestled for them last night.

I do agree that Burke needs a push though: as soon as Matt Striker and Shelton Benjamin get theirs.

It looks like Matt is taking Kane's place as the head guy on ECW. Which is good news for him, but also bad. ECW is like a developmental brand, but Hardy will be the top guy.

On topic now: this could be Burke's chance to be something. Maybe he can feud with Matt to take the title. I kinda am curious, is he still using that vampire gimmick or did he go back to being normal?

ECW is also a place for veterans who haven't gotten tons of recognition and WWE wants to show them a display of good faith - and an added pad to ratings.

The only reason I think they shouldn't have Matt Hardy as the main person on ECW is I think the ratings are going to be hurt. I'm not saying Matt Hardy isn't capable, but Kane and CM Punk for Hardy?

I thoroughly expect Matt Hardy to be the biggest fish in the pond, which might be a nice thing and a token of WWE appreciation.
