#5 Elijah Burke vs. CM Punk (ECW)
CM Punk is perhaps, one of the most surprising names on this list. He is known to be a great wrestler and has some great matches to showcase in his resume. But as they say, it takes two palms to clap. And maybe that’s why CM Punk ends up in this list. Back when WWE tried to run their own version of ECW, Punk was seen as a prominent figure by Paul Heyman.
Heyman booked Punk strongly and we often saw him in a variety of matches. One such match came against Elijah Burke, who was also an upcoming talent back then. However, for some reason, this match turned out to be a complete botch fest. Punk later recalled that he almost would’ve been paralyzed in that match.
