The Future Main Event Guys of the WWE...( an analysis)

[luis_is_king]

Christian- has the total package from charisma, crowd reaction, in-ring ability, the look and the experience.
Downside: none. If you consider his age (36) as a downside, he at least has 4-5 years left in the tank, that's good enough.
Possible Storyline: Feud w/ edge and/or jericho would be nice. A money in the bank win is very likely. Loved by the IWC.
Overall: This guy is primed to join the main event scene. Total package, can carry a feud, a match and hell even a show. This guy could just be inserted in a storyline and it would work instantly! WWE give the guy the break he deserves.
Dream Feud: with the MIZ!
My rating for him: A+

CM Punk- like Christian he has the total package, his gimmick right now is the best thing that happened to his career. Like Christian, the IWC is totally behind this guy.
Downside: none
Current Status: feud w/ mysterio, could possibly extend beyond that.
Possible Storyline: After a feud w/ mysterio maybe he could re-enter the title scene, and the Straight edge society could add a member.
Overall: Guy is a future star. Only 27, hell even triple H said punk is gonna make the big time.
Dream Feud: W/ morrison(unlikely) and perhaps a feud with cena.
Rating: A+

The Miz- definitely has the charisma, delivers great promos. The crowd reaction is pretty good too. And like the first 2, the IWC can't get enough of him.
Downside: Well his in-ring potential has not yet reached its potential and maybe improve his physique.
Current Status: US champ, tag team champ. Set to defend the titles at mania26.
Possible future Storyline:he could feud w/ daniel bryan (if he gets to join RAW this year) for the championship(u.s.) or a break-up with the big show and have them feud(unlikely).
Overall: the guy has a bright future, in a company where you need charisma he has tons of it. His in-ring work needs improvement but I think It'll get there.
Rating: B+

Sheamus the guy that most of the IWC love to hate. The saying "It's not what you know, its who you know" applies to him. I think he has decent mic skills, decent in the ring. Very intense in the ring.
Downside: decent won't be good enough so he could definitely improve on those 2 areas and the rest would be taken care by some backstage pull. Needs a new taunt, his current one is a stinker.
Current Status: Involved with a feud w/ triple H.
Possible Storyline: Could get drafted to smackdown where he wrestling ability is prioritized there he could improve his ability to perform.
Dream Feud: with Christian or Edge or anyone for that matter that does not possess the same style he has and could make fun of his color and actually be funny while doing it.
Overall: triple H gave him the opportunity, he should seize it!
Rating: B

Kofi Kingston- the guy is good in the mic when given the chance to speak, has a good reaction to the crowd, and has good in-ring ability.
Downside: his gimmick. nuff said
Current Status: recently entered the MitB ladder match.
Possible Storyline: Drafted to Smackdown where he can make some splashes.
Overall: after his push halted, he suddenly became irrelevant. But he has the package, just needs to avoid pissing off Randy Orton. A star w/o a doubt.
Rating: B+

Drew McIntyre- well like sheamus was given the opportunity by HHH and HBK. I think he is better than sheamus in every aspect. Some of the IWC hates this guy. Well if you're banging tiffany you could live with the criticism .
Downside: Doesn't get enough heat yet. Probably in the future.
Current Status: Just entered the MitB match. IC champion
Possible Storyline: Well if kofi goes to SD! he could feud with him for the IC title.
Overall: he is similar to sheamus only he is a little better in every category. Like what I said about sheamus he should take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of it.
Rating: B

John Morrison- has the ring ability, the look, the mic skills are good. As a heel he's good, as a face? average.
Downside: his inability to deliver a promo as a face hurts his main event chance.
Current Status: A match for the tag team belts this coming Mania.
Possible Storyline: reunion with mercury would be nice, but continue with the singles competition and a heel turn would be better.
Dream Feud: well a feud with HBK would be nice(unlikely). As long as his heel he could go feud with any top face.
Overall- this guy has the total package for a heel character. Should turn heel to elevate his career.
Rating: B+

I agree. I think Christian should be in the Main Event scene "now" he's kinda pushing it age wise and has been wrestling as long as Edge. I am one of Christians "peeps" so to speak and I'm hoping he gets that big push post mania, or hell even at Mania.

Sheamus is great. I've liked him since FCW and I was happy he got called up to ECW. his character is pretty cool and I really enjoy his set of superstar specific moves. Plus he's a really nice guy and always signs autographs and talks to you about wrestling if you happen to run into him like it did the other day lol.

The Miz. ???!!!???? and i don't mean that in a bad way. I think thats the general reaction of anyone who has watched "the miz" since the real world (I have a girlfriend. Occasionaly I'm forced to sit through that crap) You have to admire both his work ethic and his on screen personas work ethic.

Lets look at it this way, Mike Mizanin had fun playing around as "the miz" on a tv show. He decided to become a succesful professional wrestler. He worked hard, it took him some time to find his niche, but he did. Now he's over. His character "The Miz" says "I want to win the US Title and be the best champ ever!" he wrestles his way to the top of that division, finally wins the title and to this day I can't think of a better WWE US Champ. Then he says "I'm going to regain the tag belts" he does. That tells me that if the Miz comes out and says that he's going to do something, he's going to do it.

Kofi Kingston-What the hell happened to his push post Orton? He was really starting to be taken seriously as a contender. Although I'm not a huge fan of Kofi myself, i definatley see his appeal and I could buy him as a World Champion at some point.

Drew McIntyre-YES! I love his snap ddt. It's a pretty common move but the way he exacute it makes it look devastating. I'm just a fan of his and really looking forward to following his career.

John Morrison-His Starship Pain finish while very impressive looking bothers me. It seems like it would be better off as a mid match move. I see him pin guys with that and i think "wow that guy lost to that move? what a wuss" For me There shouldn't be a babyface version of John Morrison. Tweener at best. He's really awesome at being a cocky arrogant full of himself dillusional heel.

 

[tozlin_1992]

i tend to agree with everything that you have said... but i think you forgot a guy who has more chance of making it then half the people you have mentioned.
Dolph Ziggler
he has the attitude to make it as a heal, while i can see him being a face, i would loveto see him in a stable with Zack Ryder, chris Jericho and Mike Knox. Chris could be the WHC, Knox as an inforcer type role, and ryder and ziggler can be tag-champs

 

[Derekjt]

Sorry to nit pick, but CM Punk isn't 27. He was born in 1978, so...

All of the guys you have mentioned are sure main event guys. I added a couple.

Chris Masters: Still a young dude, has the look to play a role like Batista. By the time he's Batista's age he'll have a hell of a lot more experience too. Masters can truly be that roided heel that everyone hates, he's already proved that in the past.

Ted Dibiase: This guy will definitely be a main event guy. He's a second generation superstar and has a huge amount of talent. If he brushes up on his mic skills and goes with the audience than Ted can be a big time face.

Cody Rhodes: Cody truly is a young talent and he's already got loads of experience. I would like to see what he can do playing a face again. Again second generation star, been in the making.

Zack Ryder: Already on his own and plays a good heel. I think he has a huge upside.

New Hart Foundation: Tyson Kidd, DH Smith, Nattie Neidhart, I would really like to see Bret with these guys down the road. They are all talented and with a little help can be huge. I like how they're a perfect mix between them. Kidd with the speed and agility and DH with the power, and of course Nattie with the looks, oh and she can get it done in the ring.

NXT Superstars: At least two of these guys are going to make it big. I'm pulling for Danielson, but things are going to have to improve if he's ever a main event guy.

 

[thedriffter50]

Christian is probably has the most potential in the world...GET THIS GUY OUT OF THE WWE and let him shine...WWE is holding him down due to politics...he would have already have had great fueds with guys like cm punk, rey mysterio, shawn micheals, randy orton but what do WWE do ? jobbing to losers like Shamus...you have got to be kidding me...how long has Christian been in WWE and how long has Shamus been in WWE ?

Shamus has done more in one year then Christian has done his entire career and it sickens me...to this day i hope HHH, stephenie and Vince all get killed in a very slow and painful death ( im not joking )

 

[XgringolocoX]

No one mentioned Shelton because if he were to make the ME scene I think he'd done it already. I agree with you about R-Truth.
OH and gamer...Shaemus hasn't done a fraction of what Christian has done thus far. You really could only say that Shaemus won the WWE Title before him. Christian has held every other title, including the NWA/TNA Title. It's not even close dude.
There's not too much I disagree with what the OP said. Shaemus I can see slipping into mid card hell but not for a while yet. While I don't dislike the character, I'm not 100% sold on it either. I'm interested enough to see if it evolves/improves.
The Miz is a funny one to me. Only because I hated this fucker when he first appeared. The MTV ******? Really? He sucked. Now he makes some of the best wrestling tv today. Sure he's still a bit annoying, but he sells it. You love to hate this guy. It's brilliant. His in ring work has improved immensly. Still got a ways to go i'll admit, but entertaining none the less.
CM Punk I see in the ME only when needed. The SES needs to gather some steam if they're to be taken seriously. They need to kick the shit outta Rey and make him their bitch.
Kofi was headed in the right direction. I'd like a gimmick change though. More Mr. Eko less Cool Runnings. Hope they don't make Kofi the next Shelton.
John Morrison is great. Great moves. Hard worker. I'd like to see him and Christian go at it over the title some day.
MacIntyre I see going to the ME in a year or so. I think he should be booked strong. I was disappointed at the loss, expunge bullshit these past few weeks. I realize they're trying to raise his heat level, but it just works against his character.

To be continued...

I have a few things to add to this, mainly to the "downside" part as i feel you are being far too generous with some of these.

Christian - Yes he has everything, he should of been a Main Eventer by now, but you missed his downside (if its even true) in that it appears he doesnt have much support from those higher up. And that is a downside, a huge one, Not having support from the Mcmahons, The Writers etc etc could mean Christian will never make the main event.

CM Punk - Again i agree with the upsides, apart from thae fact you said hes 27 =P. i saw him wrestle here in england in 2003 and ill be damned if he was 20 at the time. His downside is his move set, i personally love it, but it doesnt exactly thrill todays audience. Its amazing for technical fans to watch, but the common fan...some of them see it as bland and boring and say his only good move is the GTS.

The Miz - Agree with the upsides, but the downside isnt only his in ring ability, as you said at the end, his physique. I dont accept him as being a Main eventer at the moment due to his size. Its worked only once before IMO and that was with Shawn Michaels. The Miz does have charactaristics similar to HBK though, and that could work to his advantage, despite all that, his flaws included, this guy will still be main eventing providing he keeps his nose clean.

Sheamus - Why the IWC rips on this guy ill never know. Want to see his ability? Watch Irish Whip Wrestling. Hes no Kurt Angle, but he is FAR more technical than he is portrayed as on WWE TV. And thats because they want him as the badass monster he is atm. Where he just dismantles his opponants. People miss something with him that makes him great, and thats his in ring basics, He knows how to execute moves and keep people safe. And Sheamus is going to be a main eventer in WWE whether people like it or not. And to be honest, he doesnt have a downside, his promos arent magic, but they're not meant to be, they're meant to be short and sweet and to the point.

Kofi Kingston - Agree with the upsides, you missed something very big with his downside, and thats his size. I will not take him seriously as a main eventer unless he bulks up quite a bit. And still then...hes quite small in height, which still may make it hard for me and others to take him seriously. To me hes going to be another Rey Mysterio, has the promise but wont make it as a top player.

Drew Mcintyre - Better than Sheamus? No, In terms of promos yes, in ring ability no. His ring skills and basics need work, but in the next few years i can see him breaking out.

John Morrison - I agree with everything you said here tbh.

 

[akash]

Choices are good but it should be considered as they need a good storyline against some top card guys and should not be sacrificed for making someone look like superman like killing about half a dozen finishers by cena.

 

[Ballin247]

You forgot about Vance Archer. VANCE FUCKING ARCHER!!!! Vance Archer will be a 28 time WWE champion when he retires. lol. jk. Man does that guy suck!!!

Enough joking, the problem with that list at the top is that a few of those guys are already main eventers. If you held the WWE or WHC then you are main event already so you can take CM Punk and Sheamus off that list.

I do not see Ted Dibiase as a main eventer. He is the most bland person on the roster. ZERO personality. If his last name wasn't Dibiase then he would basically be Slam Master J. Someone please explain to me what exactly they see in him. He is not exciting in the ring, his promos are boring. His haircut sucks ass. His ring attire looks like its from 1992 WCW, and he is not even very big. Cody Rhodes to me seems like he could be more entertaining if they would stop making Dibiase look like he is supposed to be the star.

I think if Rhodes changes up his ring attire and changes his hair then he can have a better look.

 

[lgxjames]

I agree with your list for the most part, I won't bother to get into what your upside and downsides are because I disagree mostly with your reasonings but like someone said Dolph should be in that group.

Also I think you underrated Drew McIntyre...he's a "A"...

 

[sevastra82]

Considering Punks held all 3 World Titles (if you want to count the ECW that is) already shows me he's already in the "main event" bracket. Not to mention he's one of the top heels on Smackdown. Punks already main event IMO.

Sheamus was shoved down our throats and into the Main Event already. Depending on what happens from here on out will determine if he stays there or if he is regulated to mid card.

The Miz very well could be main event material...the only problem is, like you stated, his size. I just cant take him seriously against the likes of Batista, Cena, HHH etc. He looks like a twerp compared to the others in the main event scene. He's got the potential, but I think he'll always be held down do to his physique.

I never understand this argument in the Sports entertainment world...if that mattered at all they would be seperating things by weight class which they do in real athletic competition, if we went by that logic Hogan should never have beat Andre, Big show should be 43 time champion and physique, Yokozuna was both big and out of shape and should never have lost...Why does size have any baring on who's scripted to be put over as long as it isn't maryse going over HHH clean???

 

[slushpuppy53]

Also I think you underrated Drew McIntyre...he's a "A"...

Totally agreed .... when we first heard a rumor that DX may expand, my friends and I all agreed Drew and Morrisson would be perfect additions ...

Too bad it was just a rumor .. imagine the rub at this stage of his career.

 

[thedriffter50]

Ted dibiase has made me into a believer...he has the ultimate package, he has the wrestling skills, mic skills and he has the looks and has the moves ( love his submission cobra clutch but i want him to make some people tap out...Sure Wearing red shorts doesn't thrill you but he has more talent then most of the WWE roster and im glad that WWE are finally pushing a very decent wrestler who WILL BE THE FACE OF THE WWE in a few years if not months...he just needs to be given the WWE title as soon as possible

 

[Dwayne_Jason]

I see people complain Kofi's gimmick. I happen to like him at the moment. Can anyone explain what is wrong with his gimmick and why it should change and if so, into what? Also, I agree with bulking up but that'll only hinder his fighting style. Look at the greatest ME at the moment: HBK. Not very big, has won titles and done a lot of things but still he's pretty slim. He doesn't look intimidating 'till you see him in the ring.

 

[WunNightStan619]

Christian= boring...always has been always will be. He's a great talent no doubt and i respect him, but at the end of the day, i would NEVER pay to see him in action.. idk what exactly it is about him, but i just think he's wack, honestly

CM Punk..loving what they are doing with him. The whole cult thing he has is really good, and i would love to see more ppl in it to make it a legit faction

Morrison...Has it all ACCEPT the mic skills. i really dont know what to say about that. I've always been a fan of his since tough enuff, ive always liked him. In the ring he reminds me a great deal of hbk back in his prime. On the mic however....just shoot me. he couldnt cut a promo to save his career

The Miz...I STILL CANT TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY! in my opinion he was better off as an announcer. He has no business in a wrestling ring let alone holding 3 belts. Hes the exact oposite of Morrison. He can cut a promo with the best of them, but as far as in-ring believeablity goes, gimmie a break. Maybe its cuz i remember watching him on the real world and thinking that he was a total goof ball there, and then seeing him getting cut from the Tough Enough 4...You really expect me to see this guy running around the real world house like a little kid wit his toy title belt and a few years later he's a "legit" wrestler? On top of that his ring attire makes him look like a little kid wit wudeva cartoon character he has on his tights....idk man i just cant take him seriously

Sheamus/McIntyre...i like them both a lot. They are both fresh and bring new to the table as far as gimmicks go. People just need to stop hating on them cuz of there relationship wit HHH n Vince. U know damn well if your boss found favor in you n decided to give u a promotion you wouldnt be complaining. And on top of that, they are both very talented and put on entertaining matches....btw, McIntyre has wun of the koolest entrances in the WWE lolz

Kofi Kingston...what the hell happened? i guess between being "STUPID!" and busting batista open this guys push was squashed. I hope this isent the last we see of him though. he's a great talent when hes not on that stupid ass jamiacan gimmick. He's much more believeable as more of a street guy. I like him alot and i hope we see more of him

 

[The Scarred One]

I see people complain Kofi's gimmick. I happen to like him at the moment. Can anyone explain what is wrong with his gimmick and why it should change and if so, into what?

He doesn't look intimidating 'till you see him in the ring.

Very true. Let's take last night for example when Kofi won cleanly over Vladimir Kozlov for the final spot in the Money in the Bank match instead of some fluke victory. Everyone pretty much assumed he would win but, especially when Kozlov's music hit, there was some doubt that maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't.

I don't think the size/physique factor should be considered a negative. If someone's size or physique was important, than guys like the Big Show and the Great Khali should have at least 15 reigns as World Champions because, looking at the replies on this post, they should be damn near unstoppable.

Shawn Michaels was never the biggest or most sculpted guy to step into the ring and look what he's accomplished. Same with Kurt Angle for, even though he has lost a lot of muscle mass since arriving in TNA, he is still considered a contender. Not to mention, CM Punk and Chris Jericho are at the top of their games right now and they don't look at all intimidating at first glance until we see them in action.

Now, Rey Mysterio may be the only arguement against the notion of size not mattering since he is smaller than the majority of the WWE roster. But let's face facts: if Eddie Guerrero didn't die back in 2005, there would be no way that Mysterio would've gotten the push towards the World Heavyweight Championship that he did. Even when he was the World Champion (they didn't even say World Heavyweight Champion because he was too small), he still came off as an underdog. Unfortunately, the same might apply for Evan Bourne.

But with guys like Kingston, Christian, Morrison, DiBiase and the Miz, they're all pretty much the same size and weight. So saying that some would be more successful than others of this group because of physique or size is far-fetched.

Punk did not win all 3 world titles he never won the WWE championship. But wouldn't it be AWESOME for him to win the WWE championship because he can kind of do like bigshow (You know how bigshow won the WCW, WWE, and ECW championship) but Punk can say he's won the WWE, World Heavyweight, and ECW campionship.

But any way I have to completely agree with you about the people who would be in the main event and you should've added Mr. Ziggler (not Ziggles) to the list but I have to agree with you.

 

[babychavzzz125]

I agree with your list but i think your forgeting Ted Dibiase. Also lets not forget about the fact that last year everyone ranked MVP and MR. Kenedy as the next main eventers but MVP ended up being another midcarder and you know what happend to Kenedy

[The Con Volt]

Drew McIntyre- well like sheamus was given the opportunity by HHH and HBK. I think his better than sheamus in every aspect. Some of the IWC hates this guy. Well if you're banging tiffany you could live with the criticism .
Downside: Doesn't get enough heat yet. Probably in the future.
Current Status: Just entered the MitB match. IC champion
Possible Storyline: Well if kofi goes to SD! he could feud with him for the IC title.
Overall: his similar to sheamus only his a little better in every category. Like what I said about sheamus he should take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of it.
Rating: B

Ok first off, I liked the thread. But dude, check your spelling. You used the word "his" when I assume you meant "he's" 3 TIMES. Ok enough grammar preaching convolt... ANYWAYS. I don't know if CM Punk should be included in this list considering HE'S a 3-time world champion. And correct me if I'm wrong, but he and Morrison have had pseudo on again off again feud for YEARS now. Back to when WWECW was actually decent.

 

[luis_is_king]

Reason why I put cm punk in the list even though he won the WHC is that he's not yet part of the group of superstars who are in the main event(triple H, shawn michaels , the undertaker and you know the rest). Eventually some of this guys are gonna go so CM punk would eventually take one of their spots and consistently be on the main event scene.
You can't base on WHC title reigns if you're a main eventer in the wwe coz that would be saying Great Khali is a main eventer.
Also thanks to the guy who checked my spelling appreciate it.

 

[Warrior]

Christan:Has all the making of a good champ but time is running out and thats the down side.I would love him in a feud with Edge,Jericho, Miz, or Morrison.
Overall:A

CM Punk:O my god i love this guy.He is the best Heel in the WWE IMO.He has Great Mic skills,Great Wrestlering Skills,a Great look, and he could be heel or face.I would love Punk V.S Morrison,MiZ, or Kofi.I see no Downside.
Overall:A+

Miz:One of the best thrash talker in the wwe.His mic skills are great and his catch phrase is simple and addictive.He would work great with Morrison,Punk,Jericho,or Edge.The big downside is his In Ring skills are lacking compared to others on this list
Overall:B

Morrison: I would give him the world title tomorrow if i could.He has every thing IMO.The only downside is...Well i don't see one.Maybe inexperience and that's it.I think he could feud with just about anyone and be headlineing WM 30.(Punk to)
Overall:B++

Kofi:I like him.He is small yet can take on and beat big guys while making it look believable.He is good on the mic but he just dosn't have a chance to speak.The downside is his size, and his gimmick
Overall:B-

Sheamus:I hate him.He is what i like to call a "Push Baby" someone who is well like by the High up personal(Vince,HHH,HBK, etc.....) so theydont have to work hard to get far.The downside: no mic skill,5 move set,Stupid look etc...HHH loves him so he will go somewere(Plus he is already a fomer world champ)
overall:B

Drew McIntyre:another push baby but has some decent skill.He nneds work on the mic and needs to extend his move set.Forsome reason every time i look at him and sheamus i think of a kinda anti-D-X team.Drew V.S Cody Rhodes sound good to me.
Overall:B-


R-Truth:Get the fans going and is great on the mic.Gimmick is to wild IMO.I don't think the wwe is very high on him right now plus he's he's a little older than the rest of the guys.
Overall:C+

Dolph Ziggler:I am still very high on this guy.He can wrsetle but needs to build on his mic skills.He could do great things if he was backed by the creative team.
Overall:C-

May as well look at this.

Christian - Been a long time coming. Definetly should happen soon, but I'm not sure if it will. He's ready. More than good enough in the ring and definetly way over with the crowd. I expect a MITB win Sunday, so that should be the first step.

CM Punk - Already a main event guy, IMO. He's at least at Jericho level, someone who is more than capable than stepping into the main event, but has the wallow in the midcard for undertermined periods as well. By far the most entertaining wrestling in mainstream wrestling today. Unless his schtick gets old, he should be at the top for a long time.

Miz - They definetly want him to succeed. Ever since the Cena feud, he's been on fire. The man has like 2930392 titles at this point. I think he definetly has the potential to be huge in the near future. Incredible considering where he came from. Truly the American Dream, from an Average Guy to the Real World to Pro Wrestling.

Sheamus - Probably won't stick in the main event. Should be a solid monster heel though. Think Kane, except better.

John Morrison - No one who speaks in monotone will be doing anything in pro wrestling.

Kofi - Midcarder, nothing more. Sure, he may be on the fringe of the main event every now and then, but I doubt he ever gets a world title. Fun to watch him jump around though.

Drew - Looks and sounds far too silly. He's like Ziggler, except taller and British. I guess he can stick around in the midcard and braid his hair with the Diva's. Overall, he hasn't been that impressive.

Well during this period in the WWE (POST WRESTLEMANIA) many veterans take time off, as we all know HBK is retired (probably gonna comeback full-time but will make occasional apperances i.e. wrestlemanias, guest-host etc), Undertaker always takes time off after Wrestlemania, Triple H probably will take time off too. Now here's a list of young superstars who could make an impact this period:
*NOTE: Some superstars might not get mentioned as I already mentioned them in my previous thread.

Ted DiBiase- Definitely has the foundations in making a main eventer in the WWE: has the connections (his father), he has the look, decent in the ring and decent on the mic.
Possible Storyline: a feud with Cody would be nice but I don't think they have the star power to truly carry a feud and the other would be buried because again they don't have the star power. After reading the RAW results I think a feud with Christian, who has star power, would be more productive for his career.
Downside: Well he is decent in every category that is critical in making a star but decent is not enough and there is always room for improvement.
Dream Feud: With the Undertaker seeing as Ted DiBiase Sr. was the one who brought in the Undertaker so there is a connection, but creative should wait until Ted has a good enough reaction from the crowd be it as a heel or a face.
MY RATING: B

Cody Rhodes- Pretty much like Ted but I think he is better off holding a midcard title first maybe a feud with some face midcarders who are atleast respectable in the eyes of casual viewers i.e. Kofi, Chrisitan, MVP and such.
Possible Storyline: Feud w/ Ted or a feud with someone that has enough star power to make him more legit.
Downside: read Ted's downside.
Dream Feud: I don't really like this guy so I don't envision him feuding with the main eventers but seeing as he is young and talented he definitely will be given the opportunity. Against who? probably a feud with Rey.
My Rating: B

Jack Swagger- Alright so my very first thread was about him not getting any sort of momentum, opportunities this past year and many people said that I should just be patient and his time will come. Well an unexpected win at the MitB match was the push he needed but I don't think he deserved that one but what's done is done. Plus like Sheamus and Drew, he has the backing of Triple H which is always a good thing and will do wonders for a young WWE superstar's career.
Possible Storyline: Before feuding with Cena for the championship maybe he should feud first with Randy Orton.
Downside:I find him good at everything but I guess lack of exposure is the only downside.Since he will be entering the Main Event scene we now get to have a closer look at this guy, his flaws, his goodside etc. Since he is already good at everything, just continue to improve then so that the haters will be put to rest.
Dream Feud: With any face main eventer like Cena, Edge and other guys.
My GRADE: B+ ( a bit biased here )

Dolph Ziggler- This guy, for me, is also good at everything, the talent, the charisma and the look. I think he's just not given enough opportunities to shine. His mini-feud with Rey Mysterio last year was good but it wasn't booked right.
Possible Storyline: Should be involved with the midcard title bouts when if and only if the title was defended in a four-way or three-way match because as of now heels are midcard champions.
Downside: Like Swagger wasn't given proper exposure the past year since the spotlight was given to Sheamus, McIntyre and Miz (as far as opportunities are concerned) but it was the right thing to do. Should just improve on everything and when the time comes he is given the opportunity he should run away with it and never look back.
Dream Feud: A feud with Christian or other recognizable stars would make him legit.
My Grade: B+

Ezekiel Jackson- Big Zeke definitely has the look that Vince likes but I have yet to see his skills with the microphone but hey, monsters weren't suppose to talk they just go out and DESTROY. As far as his in-ring work I think it's fine seeing that he is portrayed as a monster.
Possible Storyline: As of now, he is not involved in any feud. Like Cody, I just don't have a feel for the guy.
Downside: Since superstars who are booked like him don't need to talk they just need to go out and DESTROY, OBLITERATE, CRUSH, ANNIHILATE, and other terms that mean utter destruction to his opponent. Well he should just continue to improve in the ring since like I said many times, there's always room for improvement for a newcomers in the WWE.
Dream Feud: Mark Henry was booked to beat the crap out of the Undertaker and for a while he was taken legit so maybe if this guy gets to take out the Undertaker he will be taken as legit. Hey it's a dream feud! So he should just come out of nowhere and start randomly DESTROYING face main eventers.
Grade: B
BTW, condolences to Zeke, I read that his father just passed away.

Daniel Bryan- He is not exactly a rookie, I read that he was wrestling for 10 years now and of all the NXT rookies this guy is the one that is given a storyline involving a WWE Superstar (the Miz) who by the way has three titles with him. Obviously he has the in-ring ability, I don't know about his charisma since I don't watch NXT at all. Besides he is the IWC's golden boy so I'm gonna give this guy some cred. Clearly of all the NXT rookies he has the brightest future of all.
Possible Storyline: Definitely a feud with Miz.
Downside: I don't know if he has the charisma but working with the Miz eventually he will improve on that category.
Dream Feud: A feud with Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit could have been sweet! Too bad the Kurt is in TNA and Chris is in well.... in a hot place. A feud with Chris Jericho would be great seeing as they are both good wrestlers.
Grade: B

To conclude, all of this guys in part two do not get enough reaction for the role they are portraying but give it time and maybe a feud with the more recognizable stars will get them over. I definitely think WWE is in good hands and besides they still have Cena and Orton for atleast another decade so WWE is not gonna go anywhere near the panic button.
