CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Matt Sydal, Homicide and others have found great success in the big leagues so I was wondering who did people think would be next. Who has the looks, the moves and the mic ability to make it big soon?

This question has been asked at least a dozen times. To be quite honest I really don't want to see anybody make it to TNA or WWE. Not because I don't want them to be successsful and make money but because I don't want to see Claudio Castagnoli come out on WWE as Damien Stumpfuck. If someone could get picked up by the big one and the medium two and not get completely fucked over and be sucessful more power to em. As far as who on the Indy circuit could be successful here's my picks:

1. Jimmy Jacobs-Smaller guy but can generate heat like a motherfucker. Plus he's great in the ring and on the stick.

2. Mike Quackenbush-It's surprising as hell he wasn't picked up earlier considering how talented he is.

3. Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli-l put these two together because they could make an awesome tag team in TNA or WWE. Plus they could be good as singles wrestlers.

Plus he's from Grand Rapids fucking Michigan. We all know the best wrestlers come from Michigan.

I don't think Quack will ever go to either TNA or WWE. He's got enough on his plate as it is.

Both Claudio and Hero have garnered interest in the past from WWE, but nothing has come from it (Though in Claudio's case it was due to "visa' issues).

I could see someone like Sweeney going to TNA or WWE, he's money on the mic, and he could be a manager for someone in either company. I still think its only a matter of time before Danielson and McGuiness by one of the big two. Further down the road, I could see Tyler Black making it big because he has the whole package. A long-shot would be Brodie Lee who's a big guy and is pretty good in the ring.

Larry Sweeney: This guy is priceless, he can obviously cut a promo and he should make it in either WWE or TNA

The Briscoes: They are a great tag team, they can help the dying tag divisions in both WWE and TNA

Bryan Danielson: He is a phenomenal wrestler who deserves the limelight of main stream wrestling

Nigel Mcguinness: He's a good wrestler, although he does lariats way too much lol. He can play a great heel though

Yeah, I agree with SP and Chess. One other name not really mentioned is Kevin Steen. I think he has the charisma to do well in WWE/TNA. Hell, come to think of it, he has just about more charisma than ANYONE in Tna. (except maybe angle, cage, booker)

What if someone badass like Masato Yoshino debuted in WWE but with a manager who was even more badas, like James Mitchell or something. But Yoshino would be like Jet Li was in Unleashed, like calm and just walking around when hes on his little neck chain or whatever, but when James Mitchell takes it off he goes crazy, kinda like Festus when he hears the bell I guess. Idk I just like Yoshino lol.

shit! I can't believe I forgot about that guy! He would definitely do great in either WWE or TNA, he has tons of charisma, and he really is a great heel. I can picture all the little kids getting so pissed off at the guy lol

I've seen some of Jimmy Jacobs matches and promos and he kind of reminds me of Brian Pillman.

I was recently watching one the NWA leagues and watched a Truitt Fields VS Phil Shatter match.(I think that was there names). Although I didn't think their moves for anything special they had the physical look that the WWE looks for.

The Briscoes- They'd fit in TNA for sure, they just need to work on their pyschology.

Kevin Steen- Mr. Wrestling; Chrisma is great, WWE might just pick him up. I'd hate to see him leave El Generico though.

Mike Quakenbush- Talent!

Larry Sweeney- Cuts good promos.


-----------------------------------------------

But hell, I'd hate to see any of them leave ROH.

He's obviously given you the same impression he gave me. I wouldn't be too surprised to see WWE pick up Jimmy in the next few years. Before AOTF, I was a little skeptical at whether he could a great promo, but now I've got no doubt in my mind. And he can get crowds to hate him like a real motherfucker. :2up:

Anyone remember Project 161 revealed, when Jimmy stood another one of the Briscoes and just showered in their blood?
