I did this video as a little tribute to Chris Benoit, an amazing wrestler (probably the best technical wrestler in WWE history).
During this ECW episode, Benoit faced Elijah Burke in an ECW World Championship Tournament (semi-finals).
He later came back to the ring, to confront CM Punk, who was supposed to face him on Vengeance PPV the following Sunday.
Less than a week after that ECW episode, Chris Benoit committed a suicide after murdering his own wife and son.

Christopher Michael Benoit was a Canadian professional wrestler. During his 22-year career, Benoit worked for numerous promotions including the World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment (WWF/WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Industry journalist Dave Meltzer considered him "one of the top 10, maybe even the top 5, all-time greats".
Benoit held 22 championships between WWF/WWE, WCW, NJPW, and ECW. He was a two-time world champion, having been a one-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and a one-time World Heavyweight Champion in WWE.
