Current National Wrestling Alliance World Television Champion Elijah Burke recently interviewed with Lucha Libre Online. During the interview, the former WWE Superstar, who worked for the company from 2004 to 2008, spoke about working with Chris Benoit during his final days. Burke mentioned working with Benoit during a house show loop, and gave some insight into his perspective of the way everything went down. The former member of the ECW New Breed explained:
"Business as usual, that’s it. Business as usual. I mean, I worked him that weekend in Georiga. Columbus, Georgia. I worked him that weekend before we got to Carolina for that ECW television event. I remember him being at the house show in Georgia with Nancy and Daniel, his son. It was just, everything was normal. I played with little Daniel, and I talked and laughed and shared some words with Nancy. Chris Benoit was just Chris Benoit. So that night, heading to the event, there was nothing that was really different. It was business as usual”.
Just days before the tragic events occurred at the Benoit family home, Chris Benoit defeated Elijah Burke to become the Number One Contender to the ECW Championship. The match goes down as the final appearance from “The Rabid Wolverine”.
