Have you seen the countdown on TNA's homepage? If so, do you have any idea what it is about? I think it may be counting down to the announcement of the 1st TNA UK PPV.

If TNA had a PPV over hear they would do very well, plenty of fans would give them far more time than they do currently if they try and intergrate the UK fans into their viewership, also, it might spark Vince into doing something similar

if its the 1st PPV over hear im buying a ticket the house show i went to was incredible not a shock burke was there been expecting him ever since he got released from WWE

*waits for sexton*

He'll just be binning the tissues

I think he'll be stuck to the ceiling

Be good to actually see Burke wrestling - I always rated him, just a shame WWE didn't have a scooby-doo waht to do with him once that New-breed / ECW originals thing ended

There has to be more to this than meets the eye, he was very decent in the ring, had a great look and was excellent on the stick, he would have been excellent in some sort of tag team, probably with Shelton at the time he wasn't being used on RAW or even with Killings when he came to the E, just because they looked so similar

I never really seen Burke wrestle i stopped watching wrestling in mid 2006 and only started watching again in Early 2008, What was his wrestling style, gimmick and did he ever get over with the wwe crowd?

I never saw much of him either, I didn't start watching again until around May 2007 and by that time his good stuff had already come and gone

cocky but good with words and an ex athlete/amature boxer.

started him off with terkay as his manager and they were basicly very MMA punch people about style. terkay fucked off cos he was in essence shit then they just had burke as an ex amature boxer with a record of 103 KO wins lol.

he wrestled a differant style, was very athletic but used alot of strikes and knee moves, he was like the anti punk and they worked well together and that eventually led to the new breed vs origionals, where will punk go story.

he lost to benoit in a number one contenders match for the ecw title, and the title match as we know, benoit didnt turn up for.

Since then morrison has taken his eloquent talking many nickname cocky style and punk has won a world title by kneeing people.

I remember Turkay lol. I thought he was Mike Knox when I first saw Knox.

The only thing I can remember about Burke (apart from the New Breed) is the Spear/Spinebuster spot which Cody Rhodes took on this year's SmackDown in the UK. Burke's looked far more brutal though.

for those who have not seen much.
