   Wait...he's going to go by the name of "The Pope"??? I liked him better as a vampire-like guy. Ah well. I wonder if "Ariel" will become his valet again?

   are you serious? that was kevin thorn. burke was a kickboxer, and that stayed as his gimmick when he entered WWE's ECW. also, ariel was already in TNA as selina in LAX. she got released last year.

   1. Benedict made me lol. 2. Elijah Burke shoulda kept his name seeing as that IS his real name. Last I checked people can't copyright ones real name. His name doesn't even sound like it flows.. and why does he call him the pope. Last time I saw him on TNA (I don't watch it much) he didn't seem anything like a pope.
