Team ECK was a WWF (now WWE) stable consisting of Kurt Angle, Edge & Christian. The stable lasted from mid-2000 to mid-2001. The name came from the first names from each wresler: Edge, Christian & Kurt Angle. They later became Team RECK when Rhyno joined the WWE and the team. Established around the time when Kurt Angle won the King of the Ring crown in 2000, the group was known best for its comedic promos, which usually included either Edge or Christian, whose strange lingo went over really well with the fans. Although the team was very successful at getting over as the comic heel unit of the WWE in 2000-2001 without taking away from the individual characters, this stable had ostensibly come to an end around mid-2001.
At King of the Ring 2001, all four men ended up in the semi finals. Edge defeated Rhyno in their semifinal match, Kurt Angle defeated Christian in their semifinal match, and with interference from Christian, Edge beat Kurt to become King of the Ring. Around this time, the WCW/ECW Invasion storyline was working its way in, and Rhyno joined the alliance as an ECW member. Edge's victory started a rivalry between Edge and Angle that would build up and last for the next year (which resulted in Kurt Angle's current haircut), as well as was the basis for Christian's jealousy which led him to turn on Edge in an October episode of Smackdown. Eventually, Rhyno, Angle, and Christian were all part of the Alliance, although Angle was in it as a mole, and outside a feud between Christian and Edge (who stayed with WWF) over the Intercontinental title, the members never really were involved in any of the same spots within that unsuccessful superplot.
None of the members ever allied again until late 2004 when Maven, who was appointed one-night only General Manager of Raw due to his team (Randy Orton, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, himself) defeating the team of Triple H, Batista, Edge, and Gene Snitsky the night before at Survivor Series, booked Edge and Christian to team up for the first time in over three years against Benoit and Shelton Benjamin, beginning a chain of events in which Edge and Christian became loosely involved in each other's feuds, teaming up several times until Christian was drafted to Smackdown in the 2005 Draft Lottery.
