Who has the most realistic chances of becoming a breakout in each of the three brands, or the entire WWE?
Raw:
Raw is pretty stacked with main event talent. I think a shake could occur in a few months that would affect the landscape of raw. As far as who i think on the current roster, that there stock will increase, I'll have to pick Mr Kennedy. He had some real good chances over the past year, but messed them up with drug violations. I also think if Hardy can stay clean he will have a productive year. I think my dark horse pick in terms of mid card, would be Cody Rhodes.
SD:
MVP, He's the most ready to jump to the main event scene. Matt hardy will likely make a splash when he returns. CM Punk may find himself in SD, thus making a option to breakout. My Dark horse/mid card pick would be Jamie Noble. He's been having real good matches/promos, but i think he could end up on ECW.
ECW:
Colt Cabana, not sure if he will debut here, but when he does, i think he will be a instant hit. Also Atlas Dabone will be another rookie to look out for.
TNA:
AJ Styles, Prince AJ is slowly being prepped for the throne. I think Jay Lethal's stock will continue to rise in 08.
ROH
Tyler Black. The guys has had several match of the night performances so far this year, and is really coming into his own. If you havent seen him yet, he looks a lot him CM Punk. he's has a good mix of wrestling styles. In a few years, he's going to be a major player in some organization.
who do you think is most likely to fued with samoa joe when he wins/if he wins the title at lethal lockdown?
Hmm, i havent seen a whole heck of a lot of Joe lately. At least at the current time, i dont think they are setting anything up yet. Here are some options i wouldnt rule out.
1) rematch Joe vs Angle X, safe pick
2) Joe vs Cage ....probably be my guess, although who knows.
3) Joe vs Legend ... jarrett returns saying he wants his belt back. Or Sting.
I don't see Abyss returning to challenge for the belt. I can see a Angle/AJ fued coming. Not sure if Roode or Booker T will step up just yet.
Is the wrestling industry ready for another war? It's been almost ten years now since WCW/ECW/WWF and now TNA and ROH are gaining their sort of niche and if they get more ratings, can another war break out?
I don't think the industry is ready for it. Yeah the attitude era was great, but look at the result. It killed WCW and ECW. I think the wwe's competition now is a little smarter than to awake a sleeping giant to so speak. As of now, TNA and ROH really dont matter much. With TNA going live, this a big step. Almost make or break time. ROH still has a long ways to go, and i dont think they are looking to overtake or compete with other organization.
IF Tna and ROH want to compete. They need each other. As similar as some people think they are, they are actually very much opposite. I think TNA would really benefit by a ROH invasion. Similarly, i think ROH would benefit as well. If pulled off, it could be the biggest storylines in the last decade. Will it happen, probably not.
At the same time, if TNA does down, several big names guys will end up returning to ROH. With ROH adding the TNA talent, thus almost piggy backing on that TNA started, i think they could do some damage, IF they have the right financial backing. Right now, I think their product is a lot stronger than both companies, and if ROH had TNA's talent and connections they could get ratings of 1.5-2.0 Thus causing a stir in the wrestling world.
If ROH does ever become major competition, look for the wwe to go for even more of a entertainment based show. Basically the wrestling industry will be split. The wwe will be a more mtv like show. Where as ROH/TNA would be the more wrestling traditionalist show.
