The Pope, or Burke seems to be a really awesome character in TNA. Although they havent really developed him, his prior name, look and work has seemed to get him over really well with the fans. The whole street preacher thing is awesome, so I thought a group would suit him.
The Pope doesnt have to be that different a character to Raven. Obviously the Pope wont be a Goth, or dark, but he could have lackeys and be a cult leader like Raven. Why not turn Lethal Consequences into new characters and make them part of the Popes Church. You could say that he convinced them they were being held down because of race. That flies a little to closely to the World Elete however. So maybe they could work it anougher angle, that the Lethal Consequences arent moving forward, and he will show them the way.
This gives a whgole new depth to the Pope. If they wanted they could make it like the Ministry, where the Pope keeps recruiting and changing more and more young skilled wrestlers. Although there are already a lot of stables in TNA the Mafia is kinda divided now, and WE is just you know W/E. I would even have suicide lead the charge to take them down, even start his own group of extreemests...
That maybe getting to far ahead of myself but I think the Pope leadinbg a Cult or Church would just excell with the crowd and really Give Burke a chance to really establish himself in a whole new upper card way.
