Also he had no entrance music and used head vice STO as his finisher. www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superstars/elijahburke/eexperiencearchive/elijahexperience052708Apparently there are those not only in this walk of life that need MY Guiding Light, but also those of the past that need My Guiding Light as well. They need me like The Miz needs an image consultant. I'm pure. I'm righteous. I'm edged str8, if you will! I'm the beacon light in this dark world of professional wrestling that gives our fans hope! I’ve listened to the people and I’ve heard their cries. I’ve felt the pain of the weak and weary and know their need for deliverance. My congregation is ready to follow MY lead. MY congregation has spoken much like the voters of Florida and Michigan and their voices should be heard. Know this my peeps. I am not a wrestling god, nor wrestling king, but damn it all, I’m the Black Pope! I hear you and I WILL NOT stay silent much longer! Enough is enough and it's time for a change! The Black Pope has SPOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!! It was sounding very good until the Black Pope thing....

"Black Pope"? Something tells me that cannot end well.
I liked him just as he was. I even got a kick out of the fact that the "4-Up" on his wrist tape was a nod to Redd Foxx.

I'm guessing I am the only one who likes this gimmick. Unlike before this......its um..... actually a gimmick? Unless you call Cocky Generic Black Wrestler a gimmick, in that case he should have started a stable with Shelton Benjamin and MVP.
Reminds me a bit of D-Von's gimmick in like 02-03 with the whole preacher thing. This is what he is doing now. The "Black Pope"

After seeing that, I think Elijah should confront Vince in his office and give his own rendition of "Dont waste.....my time!"

what the hell? How f**** stupid can the WWE be? Burke was fine and i loved his character, havent they learned by now that vampire gimmicks suck balls? Gangrel didn't suck balls... But now he films people sucking balls... Can someone upload the pics for me, my pc doesn't seem to like that site You stole that line...

I honestly thought Burke was fine as he is. He had a good body, good look and charisma in the ring, but they just never pushed him. I hope he doesnt turn into a black Gangrel rip off.

Elijah is ruined. I wish they would've just pushed him more with his old athletic gimmick.

WIN! Staying on topic, I don't think that the wwe has established the fact that vampire characters suck.

This is kind of upsetting, Burke was just fine as he was. But I will say this, I can almost GUARANTEE this has nothing to do with vampires or Gangrel, I'd be willing to bet it will fall into line with him constantly calling himself The "Black Pope." And like said before, if it gets him TV time and a push, then I'll be happy.

Pathetic. Elijah Burke did not need his gimmick changed.

Gangrel is currently a mid-card wrestler for a local indie show called North-American Wrestling. He uh, well, not so great. When i saw him last month, he bladed within the first minute and a half then gassed after about 3 minutes and needed to end the match at 5. Needless to say he looked terrible and all of the maybe 100 people there were greatly disappointed. Which is not all his fault, as Kaz was supposed to be there. He no showed, but the show still was good, you know, minus gangrel. So all this talk of Gangrel coming back, please no.
Or wait, that will mean he'll be gone from NAW... PLEASE YES, take him back. Money Mike needs more belts and more shine!
On Topic, Im All about the Black Pope. Hopefully he's muslim and gets a good congregation and MVP as a follower!
hassaballah lakim my brotha
