Heath Slater: Future World Champion

[Paul Bunyan's Axe]

Mark my words here, Heath Slater is going to be a future world champion! I'm personally guaranteeing that by the end of the year 2012 he will be on top of the WWE. Now I know you're thinking I'm insane right now, but I think Heath Slater is really one of the most under rated talents in the WWE right now.

Back in the Nexus days, he was THE most entertaining guy on that whole team. Every time he had a mic in his hand he worked it greatly, and every time he was in the ring he put on a show. And think about it, all he's done since then is improve, there's no way this guy won't be a future world champion.

People like to make fun of him saying he's "the girl from Wendy's" but really, maybe he could work that in his favor. Maybe make a gimmick for him, where he sponsors Wendy's, and he could attack people and make them choke on Baconators.

Anybody else see the talent in Heath Slater that I do?

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

I shall assume you are serious. Well atleast your name is laughable.

Anyway, No. I don't see anything in Heath Slater. He has the worst nick name in the 'One Man Rock Band'. What does that even mean? What is he like Paul McCartney?

Slater has to go a long way to be even considered in the upper mid-card let alone being the champion. So unless you are ginger and thus are rooting for him, I must ask you to reevaluate what is a very bad bet.

 

[Late Train]

This is probably one of the funniest wrestling based threads I've read in a while. This is a joke right? Partically the part about making him have some gimmick where he sponsers Wendy's.

Seriously though, I like Heath Slater and I agree that he does have talent. He's quite good in the ring and not too bad on the mic but at most, I would only expect Slater to reach Mid-Card status with maybe a IC/US Title reign or two. As far as been a future World Champion is concerned, I think Primo has a higher chance of becoming World Champion than Slater.

it is good when we get a topic where the OP is obviously taking the piss and having a lend of people. Great sense of humour there champ, Heath Slater has more chance of being revealed the Mystery Raw General Manager then he has of holding the WWE Title or World Heavyweight Title. He would be lucky to survive the next round of cost cutting releases.

 

[GameOver]

No, not now not ever. When Wade Barrett still hasn't had that title match he earned for winning NXT and is floating between upper mid card and nowhere Heath Slater isn't even on the register a mid card champion very briefly at best, he doesn't have "it"
He's a goof, with a goofy WCW 90's gimmick.
David Otungu and Mr Perfect Jr. are far more talented and would be the first to even remotely be considered for that sort of push

I'm assuming that you're trying to be funny or trolling, in which case, it fails.

However, as I do think I have something I can seriously add to a Heath Slater discussion, I'll pretend that you're being serious.

A future World Champion? I seriously doubt anything like that will ever happen. However, I used to think that Zack Ryder as a World Champion was preposterous, too. Ryder's still a long way away from being at the top, but he has at least made himself a fan favorite and he has plenty of room to expand.

I've said before, though, that Slater could make a midcard champion. I think he could pull off a country boy-underdog gimmick, where after jobbing to Santino and Brodus Clay (comedy acts, mostly,) he stops acting like a dick and just wrestles. Suddenly, the guy is winning matches against midcard opponents (not ADR, or anybody like that,) and he puts together a little bit of a winning streak. If the fans start to cheer for him, which you of course have to encourage them to do, then you slap a midcard title on him, after a good long chase of someone like a Cody Rhodes, when Rhodes is ready for a promotion.

He doesn't have a great look, he's an average wrestler, but Slater sells almost as well as Ziggler and that makes him a great jobber. I feel like you could turn that ability to sell into a sympathetic, underdog-hero gimmick. As far as jobbers go, the man isn't a total waste. Calling him a future World Champion, especially by the end of the year, has to be a joke. However, I think he has somewhere to go.

Barrett used his NXT championship cash-in on that six pack challenge at...what was it, Night of Champions 2010? Sheamus was the defending champion and I think Orton walked out with the belt, but I know Barrett cashed in for that match.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

The one thing Slater does well is job. He can take bumps and sell the moves of the guys that he is putting over well. Because of that he will probably always have a job but he will be lucky if he ever even sniffs the tag team titles again, let alone the world title

 

[Merkin353]

If I could pick one person the WWE should get rid of it would be Slater.. Nah mean? I have marked your words and I have marked them under wrong... Bye Bye Now

 

[frankography]

lets be honest of the former Nexus members currently on the Roster Heath Slater has to be bottom of the pile. so unless something drastic happens i cant see him wearing any title soon.

 

[SheamusRocks]

If this is a joke, good one. If this is serious, then what the hell is wrong with you? Out of ALL the Nexus members (both new and old), Slater was the worst after Tarver. Whether he looks like the Wendys girl dosnt matter, he is a mediocre talent at best who has only survived this long by hiding in a group of at least 3 others and by riding on the coat-tails of the more talented: Wade Barret is a future World Champion, Justin Gabriel is a great athlete, Skip Sheffield was a total tank and all the rest showed promise that they could become something better but Slater managed only to sink to new depths of mediocrity, becoming an after-thought even on Superstars.There are a million Heath Slaters out there and hes worse then all of them. I personally hope he is lost n the post-WM budget cuts.

 

[Pedigree1]

Couple things here. Today is april fools day so i get the joke haha!! Second there is no way heath slater can be champion. Are you freaking kidding me with that one? The one man southern rock band thats the stupidest nickname i have ever heard of.

He has no charisma is not over with the crowd and just picture the wendys chick with a world title!! OR any title! I cant picture or take wendy heath slater serious!! Good Grief

 

[#BabyFace]

Let me first start out by saying I dont even know how you were able to post a thread when you only have 9 posts.

With that said, assuming this isnt a bad April Fools joke, Im going to have to disagree with you. Maybe is Slater was given some time and a gimmick to work with (But NOT the stupid WENDYS one you chose) he could but not in years. Especially this year, there ar too many young superstars that have a big year in 2012 already. Barrett, Ziggler, Rhodes are just a few to name right now.
On top of that, there is NO way for Heath Slater to just jump in the main event picture. There is no way for him to make an impact and be taken seriously as a main eventer.
Look at the three guys I named to have big years in 2012. All three of them have went through the mid card and made itthe upper mid card and now will be breaking out as a main eventer. They all held the U.S. or Intercontinental Championship at some point. Heath Slater isnt even seen every week on RAW or Smackdown.


You made a pretty bold statement for this year with tht one and Ill mark your words on it. My Opinion?....There is no way Heath Slater will be World Champion anytime this year or in the next 2 years at that.

 

[Paul Bunyan's Axe]

This isn't an April Fools joke. I truly think Slater is better than every name listed to have a good year this year. He just has talent, I guess I'm the only one who can really see it though.

 

[AwesomeRko]

I don't see it either dude evryones different and we all have different ideas and thats what makes pro-wrestling so great but theres just no way I can even see Slater having a mid-card reign. In Nexus he was the most forgettable member (behind Tarver) imo, he was the obvious weak link in the CORRE and was carried after that by Gabriel.

I just find him bland he has had so many chances to showcase himself on Raw/Smackdown which guys like Barretta, Hawkins and new guys like Curtis haen't yet had and he has never shown me or apparently Vince anything.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I have to go with consensus here. I just simply do not see Heath Slater as a World Champion, especially not by the end of this year. From an overall perspective, in my eyes, Slater is among the lowest talents on the WWE roster. There's just nothing remotely special whatsoever about him. We've seen Slater on WWE television for roughly 2 years now and in all that time, I've yet to see anything impressive out of him.

He has virtually no charisma, his mic skills are deplorable, he's average in the ring at the most and doesn't even have a particularly good look. So what's left? It's like he's a younger version of Matt Hardy only he doesn't have a more talented brother whose coat tails he can ride.

 

[ccotreau1]

I see the talent in Heath Slater, and if used properly, I can see him as a champion, just not World Heavyweight Champion

Now I know you're thinking I'm insane right now, but I think Heath Slater is really one of the most under rated talents in the WWE right now.

No, he's rated absolutely correctly by the majority. I have more of a chance of winning a world title this year than Heath Slater, and I'm not even competing in anything. Slater is at the bottom rung of the WWE ladder. For him to plausibly win the title he'd need an insane push that he's never going to get. Because there are considerably better people who would need less investment to get the same return.

Back in the Nexus days, he was THE most entertaining guy on that whole team.

Yes he was. Right after Barrett in every area, Gabriel in the ring, Otunga playing Starscream, and Sheffield in the ring.

Every time he had a mic in his hand he worked it greatly, and every time he was in the ring he put on a show. And think about it, all he's done since then is improve, there's no way this guy won't be a future world champion.

Funny, because of the Nexus guys, he was never a featured player. Barrett was undisputably the leader, Gabriel put the exclamation mark on beatdowns and Otunga was the Starscream. Slater was trusted not to hurt Bret Hart, and that's it.

People like to make fun of him saying he's "the girl from Wendy's" but really, maybe he could work that in his favor. Maybe make a gimmick for him, where he sponsors Wendy's, and he could attack people and make them choke on Baconators.

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

Anybody else see the talent in Heath Slater that I do?

No.

You're right, this isn't an April fools joke. You're joking, but you'd do that on any day. The fact that it's April 1st is an added bonus.

 

[pjsdoughboy]

This is most definitely a bad April fools joke! The only way this can not be an April fools joke is that Heath Slater himself is the creator of this thread! But while I laugh at this thread! I have to say is he will be future endeavored in 2012 not a Future World Champion.

 

[Xemmy]

No chance. No chance in Hell. Heath Slater has neither the mic skills, the gimmick, or the wrestling talent to get over in his current position. I suspect he will be released from contract, before holding the Intercontinental Championship. His One Man Rock Band gimmick isn't exciting, and he was probably the most bland member of the Nexus. He has nothing to go off of, and unless he changes something about himself, I see nothing in his future.

 

[Mr_billy]

Today's WWE, no, Crockett Productions, I can see him as a top guy, with surfer Sting, Magnum TA, Ton Zenk, hell yeah. He's got that goofy wide eyed southern boy thing going, him and the Horseman would have happened.

 

[Whostine]

Heath Slater will not be World Champion. Ever. Not ganna happen. More chances of a nun having sex then Slater winning a title. Slater is no where near the level he should be for a title. He simply isn't good enough.

out of ten i give this thread a WNBA yeah it exist but no ones gonna care...

I said that about a guy once, back in 02/03. He debuted on Smackdown, and while he had a good look and some excitement about him, I just didn't buy into him being a future world champion, and immediately wrote him off. That was Randy Orton. My point; don't write a guy off this early in their career, for their whole career. They'll probably surprise you.

Onto whether he'll be champion this year...pfft. Fuck no. Not a chance in fucking hell. You're telling me that by the end of 2012, with a roster that has guys like Cena, Punk, Bryan, Sheamus, Orton, Barrett, Jericho, Miz, hell even Ziggler, at their disposal, Slater is the one who'll be trusted with the strap. Not a fucking chance.

Now, I won't shit on him completely, because he isn't bad. That's the problem. Everyone I listed above has something going for them, be it ring work, mic skills, selling, excitement, high-flying etc. Slater doesn't have an over-abundance of any of these. Not even close. The only two times he was mildly relevant was when he was in Nexus and when he was tag champ with Gabriel.

He'll be lucky if he's US/IC/tag champion this year, let alone world champion. Not happening.

 

[3:16]

Sorry but I do not see any talent in Slater or believe that he will surpass his current role as a jobber. I don't buy his gimmick nor does he look like a champion to me. He doesn't look like someone who will draw in the crowd

 

[TWJC: The Beginning]

Not at all as silly an idea as people on here think. You don't need to be "menacing" or 'dark" or "sinister" or any other IWC word to be a good heel. slater is a great chickenshit heel and he sells the shit out of moves to make guys look good.

Don't think he'll be a world champion in 2012 but he's definately not "lol no" like a lot of people on here think.
