Which Talents From NXT Do You Want To See Brought Up?

[HBKistheHOF]

Dean Ambrose: Moxley is Gold & I've been awaiting his debut long before Justin LaBar started a whole band wagon & created a universe of haters, which I'm convinced most who hate Ambrose just dislike LaBar or dislike the idea of Ambrose already having hype or a following. The roster is somewhat crowded & I understand that WWE wants to develop him into their own style, but I just hope WWE doesn't waste Moxley like Kharma. Just my opinion, but I'd pay to see Ambrose perform over 90% of the full-time roster.

Kassius Ohno: Another amazing worker who has done nothing but evolve since getting to WWE. He has size & a work ethic to kill! Just what Vince likes. I can forsee Ohno on WWE screens for years to come, if used correctly.

Seth Rollins: First ever & current NXT champion! Again a great worker from the indies that has only evolved. I'm not sure about his recent statement on twitter about how he could be "carrying the wrestling world on his shoulders" if they'd let him, but I'd sure be intertesed to see him try.

Beyond those 3 being absolute MUSTS to bring up to the full-time main roster asap, I'd prefer to see McGillicutty, Steamboat Jr., The Rotunda boys, & The Ascension all over any 3MB, JTG, Khali, Fandango(Johnny Curtis), Hornswoggle, Brad Maddox, David Otunga, or any of the other pointless, boring characters they give any screen time or resources to.

I'd also prefer to watch Sara Del Ray & Paige over the whole full-time, main roster Divas division.

In order of preference.

Seth Rollins.
Bray Wyatt
Dean Ambrose
Kassius Ohno
Xavier Woods


Seth Rollins will at some point in his career have the "torch" on him. He has everything you need in a wrestler, Speed, Agility, Power, mic skills, if you say a wrestling attribute you need to succeed, Seth Rollins has it, theres a important reason why hes the first NXT champion.

Star Potential: 10


The "Bray Wyatt" character is one of the best WWE has produced in a while, and will probably be one of the best gimmicks of the decade, it makes it even better that Husky Harris has the character, and it will carry him pretty far, I don't see Wyatt winning the WWE or WH titles, but hel defiantly be a contender.


Star Potential: 9


Dean Ambrose is only 26, yet he is already a legend on the indy circut, and its only a matter of time until he becomes a legend in the WWE, this guy is just like Rollins, he has every wrestling ability needed, the only difference between them is i think Dean will do what Damien Sandow did, show up for weeks and not wrestle, then he finally will, maybe they will do this, maybe they won't but it'l be good to see.


Star Potential: 9


The only problem with Kassius Ohno is his age hes 32 right now, so rather he become a singles champion, why not put him where hes good? and re-team him with Antonio Cesaro and have him become a tag team legend? the tag division is better then it was before, but to restore it to its former glory, the kings of wrestling NEED to reform.


Star Potential: 7 1/2


Xavier Woods was a pretty underrated superstar in TNA, he had a good gimmick, and athleticism, but he absolutely needs a manager until he improves hes mic skills, why not give him another boxer gimmick, and give him a manger that would be his "trainer"? I'm sure someone could come up with a better idea, but it would be good to start with.


Star Potential: 7

[The English Dream: Diety Sodes]

There's a guy called Justin Gabriel who's caught my eye recently...

I mean, erm, Kassius Ohno would be my pick, and I'd put him straight in a feud with Cesaro. It might seem like an obvious reason but it's also the most logical, since they have such a good history and chemistry they'd be able to work plenty of entertaining matches, seen for the first time by the majority of WWE viewers.

After Dean Ambrose, NXT Champion Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns(aka Leakee) debuted, I started wondering about who will be the next NXT superstar to make their debut/re-bebut on the main roster? I have thought of a few, impressive superstars that I feel could make it in WWE if booked properly.


The Acension (Connor O'Brien and Kenneth Cameron) : A dark tag team, that will very much be needed once the tag teams quit being interesting(aka when team Hell No! breaks up). They will easily be tag team champions, as they are both talented in the ring. While I haven't seen much mic work, it is only the tag team division, so they won't even need it.


Bray Wyatt: When NXT started showing Bray Wyatt promos, I was actually interested. He is a great change from the average big man. He is fast for a man his size, and he is the best in NXT on the mic. WWE can easily just start his debut with a couple of vignettes, and I wouldn't even care if they just had him squash jobbers for a few months!


Richie Steamboat: The son of Hall of Famer Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat, Richie displays an athleticism in the ring that is hardly compareable to anyone on the current WWE roster. He should be debuted in a tryout match, with an underdog victory. He keeps the streak going until finally 'getting a contract'. Have him go after the US Championship, until finally building him up until an upper-midcarder. This is my pick as the next NXT superstar to debut.


Who do you guys believe should be the next superstar from NXT to debut? Do you believe that I forgot anyone?

I'm a big fan of Chris Hero, but I've also felt he's a bit uninspired as Kassius Ohno on NXT. His recent match with Trent Barretta was very slow, and poorly worked. It was just flat-out boring, and that's not something I ever said of the Kings of Wrestling, or Hero in Ring of Honor.

Big E Langston is somebody I could really see being something special in the WWE. I like that he demands a 5-count from his matches, and his full body cutter is one of the cooler finishers in wrestling right now. He's also a fucking tank, but can also move like the wind. On the latest episode of NXT that I've seen, Vickie Guerrero put a $5,000 bounty on his head. This should be pretty fun, as we'll be able to see him rip through talent after talent. I absoutely love that if the referee won't count to five, he'll do it himself after the match. The small sample crowd at NXT gets behind him, and that's something that could translate really well into big WWE events. I like him.

Bray Wyatt is fucking incredible. The promos he cuts are creepy, but so damn good. I was psyched to see him return on the last episode of NXT. People are saying he's too out there for WWE, but i think that's exactly what the WWE product needs right now. Something different. Reminds me of Zack Galifianakis. In a very good way.

It really could be anyone, at any time. Look at Roman Reigns. He was in NXT for what, a single set of tapings before they brought him up at Survivor Series. I like the kid from the single NXT show I saw him at. And all he did was come out and cut a promo. Seems like a natural heel. Very good charisma. He's got some work to do on the mic - a bit generic to be honest - but you can tell he's not nervous, and is very confident when speaking. That is a very good thing.

I'm also liking promos for Cory Graves. He seems like he could be a good talker.

EDIT: The last episode of NXT I saw was the 11.8 show. Sorry about any confusion.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the next batch of NXT wrestlers to be brought to the main roster includes Big E. Langston, Bray Wyatt, Bo Dallas & a tag team known as The Ascension.

Big E Langston is a powerhouse wrestler that's pretty over with the NXT audience. Most of his matches have consisted of squashes in which he tells the referee to utilize a 5 count instead of a 3 count. His real name is Ettore Ewen, he's black, about 5'10 and weighs around 300 pounds of solid muscle. He's a powerlifter who placed first in the USAPL U.S. Open Powerlifting Championship in 2010 and the USAPL Raw National Powerlifting Championship in 2011. He competes in powerlifting in which the lifters don't use any equipment designed to lift more weight like bench shirts. His personal bests in powerlifting in competition are 711 lbs on squat, 529 lbs on bench press and 799 lbs on deadlift. All these are raw lifts, so basically the guy's a friggin' animal. He has an impressive look but it's hard for me to get excited as it's very much a hit & miss deal with powerhouses.

Bray Wyatt is better known to WWE audiences as Husky Harris. His real name is William Lawrence Rotunda, the son of Mike Rotunda. His new character, Bray Wyatt, is a character heavily influenced by the character Max Cady. Max Cady is the antagonist in the movie Cape Fear. It was originally made in 1961 starring Robert Mitchum. It was remade 30 years later with Martin Scorsese as the director and Robert De Niro as Cady. Bryatt's character is based on Cady in the remake, which is basically a charming & intelligent but insanely violent sociopath. I've seen Rotunda as this character and he does a good job with it. It suits him well.

Bo Dallas, real name Taylor Rotunda, is Wyatt's brother in real life. I'm not really familiar with this guy, I can't really recall if I've seen him or not. He's only 22 years old so I'm not so sure about him.

The Ascension is probably the top tag team in NXT, or WWE's territorial system altogether. It consists of Conor O'Brian and Kenneth Cameron. They have good look to them, both are about 6'4" with O'Brian being about 250 and Cameron about 225. They have a cool entrance and style that sort of reminds me a bit of a mix between The Undertaker and Edge. They're a lot of fun to watch and really work well as a team, using a lot of tag team moves like we used to see back in the 80s. With more emphasis put on the tag team scene, it's likely these two will be there before long.

I would like to see The Ascension, it'd give the tag division even more shine and their dark gothic gimmick is really nice and refreshing. It's nice to see more 'out there' gimmicks WWE needs more of this in my opinion.

Bray Wyatt i liked Husky Harris, i thought he was pretty decent and had room to grow he was better than half the other NXT guys. Him being sent back down could be a blessing though as lots of people are getting hot over the new gimmick, i like it although i'm not as big a fan as others. I wonder how this gimmick will go over with the main programming fans.

[Allstar]

Big E Lanston - I'd love for Mark Henry to introduce him as his protégée. Mark has the experience to show him how to cut good promos and how to work a good big man match.

Paige - she's a better in ring preformer than most of the divas on the main roster!

The asension - at first their gimmick was abit much but I've come to enjoy it and they work their characters well. A feud with team hell no would do them great

Kassious ohno - love the character and his promos....just can't stand the elbow strike finisher he uses (or Barrets for that matter) it just looks weak on tv IMO.

Everyone seems high on Bo dallas and Ritchie steamboat but I don't know why? Yes they are talented in the ring but that's it. Bo couldn't do a promo to save himself and I just can't see ritchie getting past his dads shadow

I'm also a big fan of Byron saxton - he's GREAT on the mic!
