Natasha Rider
One thing is certain in Natasha�s future and that is she will be the manager of the next world champ. It�s not all sweetness and light though for the new comer as her career is at a cross roads at the moment. She can either go on to become the vixen and great character she should be, or she can continue in her current path and not really get any better or any more impressive. I can see the second happening and through no fault of her own, she seems to be limited by what Lee will allow her to do. This is a shame when you consider the impact her character could have. People talk about new blood and originality, it�s staring us in the face but no one will admit it.

Miss Rebecca
I�m not going to go into too much detail on this one as again I�m not sure she will do one of two things. She will either get her own story based on something other than her relationship with Moriarty, which to me seems doubtful. Or she will take a break with Bill, like I mentioned earlier. The second is much more realistic but I can see maybe a cameo of some kind for her as well. A bit of a mystery this one we�ll have to wait and see.

Deacon Sypher
The Deacon is a young guy, who is still trying to learn the basics, but he does wrestle every week and he is trying. It seems as though Cardinal Yeomans is trying to take him under his wing, which at first seems a bit strange as he himself isn�t a wrestler. However, it makes sense when you see how much he has improved recently since Yeomans has been trying to help him. I can see further improvement for this youngster if he keeps coming, keeps working hard, watches others with more experience and uses the charismatic Yeomans to good effect. Good luck Sypher.

Sam Van Dam
As Sam continues to grow physically he has the potential to grow mentally as a wrestler as well. Sam has been a regular for some time at St.LCW but recently he is starting to look like one day he could be a full time wrestler. If this is to happen though he needs to seriously consider the way in which his character �survives�. As things stand SVD is a novelty character and it works well for him as he only appears now and again. If Sam is to break into the full time roster things need to change. He has the potential but needs to be nurtured carefully.

Angel No Moore
I think that the future for Angel is clear as glass; she is going to start wrestling more and more. If this happens I feel she will leave her partner Sid for whatever reason. Not a lot else to say other than she is the epitome of hard work as becoming a wrestler for her has been something that she has worked hard at watching many hours of wrestling, working hard every training week, and paying her dues on none camera shows. When she starts to wrestle it will be more than just a change it will be an achievement.

Grell
The Grell character has had a hard time of late. The character of Grell seems better suited to working as a heel but the �face Grell� doesn�t seem to have as much impact. I think this will change though and perseverance is the key. I think that Grell will feature in a big story line next volume and this will help his character to develop, but only if he makes a conscious effort to wrestle as a face. Being a monster it is hard to make people like you but after awhile I�m sure people will warm.

Sid
Being the booker Boz can give his character anything that he wants, but he doesn�t abuse this power and Sid always does the same kind of things. In Sid�s future I can see more stories each volume and no titles. Sid has the difficult task of convincing people he isn�t biased in anyway towards himself. Therefore, a balance has been found where by he achieves mild success but loses regularly enough to keep people guessing. This problem may creep into the future of Angel if she does start wrestling as well which is unfortunate because she deserves success.

Jason Sensation
The current IC Champ will keep his title until the pay per view of volume 13 and then lose. I can see this happening because Jason is currently on fire and working well. Again if it�s not broke don�t fix it, and Jason definitely isn�t broke. He has a lot of talent and a new found commitment that is making him out to quietly be one of the best wrestlers of the volume. I would like to see Jason continue his good run as champ and drop the belt in a match worthy of his reign.

Thanatos
Evolving as his own man as every taping passes, and slowly distancing himself from Winnie Nobbe, Thanatos is proving that he doesn�t need the front man to front him. He has proved countless times that he is a truly great wrestler and with recent tensions running high with brother Mimmick it�s hard to see this angle ending any time soon. I personally would love to see the �twinnie thing� go on for another volume, but the danger with this is that people will lose interest in the almost mythical TWF. For this reason I think the angle will end at Tides of Change and Thanatos will go on to have a story line of his own next volume.

Cardinal Yeomans
I see Yeomans taking more of a fatherly role in the future taking Sypher especially under his wing and trying to teach him more of the psychology side of wrestling. This will benefit both as Sypher I�m sure will be glad of the advice and Yeomans will have a goal to achieve which will give him drive and passion during the near future which for him and C.R.A.P will be a quiet one as I think time will be given to the younger guys where they can just wrestle and improve. Cardinal will have to make the best of this time himself by continuing to help the rookies.

Mimmick Master
One of the most entertaining people to ever grace a St.Lukes ring, Mimmick is THE man when it comes to breathtaking, and sometimes life endangering bumps. He also can be one of the smartest wrestlers as his matches are always fresh and packed with ideas. The future has to be bright for Mark as he has never put a foot out of place he has paid his dues more than anyone and will continue to have exciting matches against as many different opponents as possible. Anyone who wrestles him should feel honoured and appreciate that they are being given a reward.

Hornblower
Plain and simple this one, Hornblower is our next World champ he will beat Moriarty at the pay per view and will have successful defences come next volume. Nothing too out of the ordinary for the nearly man come good, the only thing that may come into question is his in ring relationship with Natasha Rider, I can see everything being fine between the pair until such time as John loses the title. At this point I think Rider and Blower will part company, but as this isn�t going to be for a while yet it doesn�t really need a mention. Well done Blower you deserve it.

Looking at St.Lukes future as a whole can be very difficult as there is such an eclectic mix of talent at the moment, so I hope that this break down of my views will inspire you to think about the future whether it be for your own character, or purely as a spectator. I just want to say one last time that these are my views and mine alone, and that if you don�t agree or have ideas of your own then I would like to know what they are.
The future of St.Lukes may turn out to be nothing like the future I predict and in all honesty I hope it�s not. I don�t want to be right about everything because then the fun would be gone.

As a closing note, good luck to everyone and let�s keep St Lukes Church Wrestling going for another half a decade. See you there!
