Wrestling Obscurity: The New Breed
Watching RAW the other night got me thinking about all the other times CM Punk has turned heel in WWE. Which has happened many times and then I remember a certain stable he was part of. No not that stable. Nope not that one either. I'm refering to "The New Breed." Ah, "The New Breed," Back in 2007, This stable was part of the new ECW(WWECW). Young new talent, (Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, Matt Striker, Kevin Thorn, and Ariel) looking to make a name for themselves and to show up the "older" talent of the ECW orginials (RVD,Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu). It wasn't a bad feud. They had some entertaining matches...from what I can remember, but it didn't have the feel of two strong stables going head to head and making history in the processes. CM Punk later joined the New Breed, but not to make them better, but to tear them apart from the inside. And that's what happened. From a writing stand point, it was very intresting, because it hadn't been done before...at least not that I can remember. But as a stable the New Breed didn't leave much of an impact or a memory.
