Height: 6 foot 1 Weight: 230 pounds Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida Pro debut: 2003 Finishing move: The Elijah Experience (Forward Russian legsweep) Career highlights: OVW Heavyweight Champion WWE.com: Presenting the ominous Sylvester Terkay, Elijah Burke arrived on SmackDown in July as part of Theodore Long's New Talent Initiative. In his debut match, Burke used a barrage of quick hits and weakening holds to earn arguably the first of cerainly many victories in his WWE career; Burke hit his ruthless signature move, The Elijah Experience, and applied a dreadful double-armlock to win by submission. Burke is a natural athlete and skilled fighter, and though he talks a big game, his extraordinary background speaks for itself. With an amateur boxing record of 103-1 (102 knockouts), Burke is a deadly, stand-up striker with fast, heavy-hitting hands. Plus, this former champion fighter is one of few men who are tough enough to spar and train with the lethal Terkay. Together, Burke and Terkay may very well be the most dangerous pair ever to be in a WWE ring. |
