-- It would appear that Elijah Burke was released from World Wrestling Entertainment because he didn't have anyone behind him on the creative team. Burke had not appeared on WWE television in over four months -- since around Memorial Day. Burke initially started out as a project under Court Bauer on SmackDown, and then moved to ECW at the request of Paul Heyman. Dave Lagana, who was writing ECW TV over the course of 2007, gave him a solid push that year. However, Bauer quit, Heyman was booted out of WWE, and Lagana was fired, so Burke was left to fend for himself without any backers. This resulted in him completely being taken off the road by June. Why no one saw anything in Burke after Lagana was let go remains a mystery.
