Who here does everyone think was a natural in the business? By natural, I mean someone who became a freakishly good worker in a short amount of time.

First one that comes to my mind is Brock Lesnar, the guy was having some of the best matches in the WWE only months after his debut and was putting out Match of the Year in the first few years of his WWE career.

Kurt Angle also developed pretty quick. He wasn't pushed as fast as Brock was, but he was putting on great matches in the first year or two of his WWE career and within a short time was putting out great matches left, right and center.

Samoa Joe, even in his rookie year you could tell just by watching him he was going to become something special.

Who would you consider to be a natural in the business?

HBK really had it going when he debuted, I saw his debut match, and he looked pretty good while taking a beating.

The Briscoe Brothers. These guys probably started training at my age, 15, and they already had a tour of Japan, been in ROH, TNA and CZW before they were even 20. They've definetely improved, and were good 6-7 years ago.

With Low Ki, you could just tell he was going to be good. There's only a couple of guys that are as devoted as him in wrestling, and wrestled the way they did. He keeps kayfabe to such a level, it's ridiculous. He lives wrestling.

Angle was pretty special too. There's a lot of guys that have been college/amateur champs, but never panned out. He's a natural athlete, and he's now, or was, one of the best in the world.

AJ Styles is an athlete, so you can't go wrong there.

I really don't want to mention any of the older guys, because I don't know enough about them and the early parts of their career.

Guerrero's and Flair's are naturals in the business...imo, I mean the Guerrero family when they were in trouble by the dad Gory Guerrero they wouldn't be spanked or sent to their rooms they had a ring in their backyard growing up and they would be sent for one round to fight in it.,

there are some naturals like Kurt Angle and HHH and Shawn Michaels who are literally born into the business. flair, stone cold, rock are all naturals. its hard to say who's a natural and who's a legend because the word gets tossed around alot today.

Rock, Angle and Colt Cabana first came to mind for me. Guys who could entertain, and put on great matches.
