Out of the lower mid card guys on the WWE roster, who do you see full of the most potential?

I'm going to go with Curt Hawkins. He has been floating around since Hawkins and Ryder broke up. I know he was sent back to FCW for a while and been jobbing while forming tag teams with random wrestlers. I really see a lot of potential in this guy and wish WWE would push him as a single's competitor. His ring work is pretty good and he is solid on the stick. The guy has had some damn good matches on superstars and I just don't understand what WWE doesn't see in this guy. He is the total package if you ask me and reminds me of a younger Edge. I would love to see him go far in WWE with some Intercontinental, US, and maybe even one day a World Title run.

Curt Hawkins or Jinder Mahal.

If Otungamania is lower midcard, then he's on the top of the list.

I'm going to go with Curt Hawkins or Tyson Kidd. Hawkins has great wrestling ability, tbh, he has more ability than Zack Ryder. Hawkins has the potential to become a good Mid-Card champion but the WWE just has to give him a shot, I'd say the guy could have good feuds anywhere, whether it's Smackdown or Raw, I can guarantee that guy could have good feuds.

Tyson Kidd though, he has great technique and look as he wrestles, he can get a decent pop from the crowd and that's all he needs to prove that he has potential.

Santino, surely?

Also throwing Jack Swaggers name in the hat, hes always been entertaining even through some of the crappiest gimmicks and storylines.

Swagger has been a World Champion, how the hell is he a lower mid card guy. I don't care how he has booked, the fact is that he has been to the top before so yeah. Santino isn't really lower anymore either, he almost won the WHC title for crying out loud.

I love the Hawkins props everyone is giving him and he's my pick. Drew McIntyre will be back eventually where I don't have to worry about him being a top guy. Drew will have his stardom eventually. Hawkins is someone that can work and be creative on the mic. Everyone has already said it so hopefully Hawkins gets more love soon. I'd love to see a Ryder Hawkins feud eventually. Also Tyson Kidd is another guy that can although he could use more work on the mic. In terms of in the ring, he is probably top ten in the company in terms of actual wrestling.

I have to go with Tyson Kidd as well. He can wrestle but he's in dire need of some personality. Also I've always though Johnny Curtis was good but never given a chance. I enjoy is program with Derrick Bateman.

Ummm because he's actually IN the lower mid card? You're reason for him not being a lower midcarder makes no sense because it's like saying the guy is a main eventer because he's won the title.

This is easy, Tyson Kidd hands down.

I shouldn't have to explain why.

The thing with Swagger is that if he did have potential then his WHC run would of being successfull. It wasn't. Same with Alex Riley(I know alot of people enjoyed him when he was Miz' lacky, I hated him). Santino is full of potential, but given the last few weeks I'd put him in the upper-mid card bracket.

Curt Hawkins.

Tyson Kidd is definately the best in the ring but Hawkins has a lot more going for him. A look that works, a gimmick, mic skills and quite decent in the ring. He deserves some attention.

I don't see Swagger on NXT do you? Lower card basically means NXT guys. That's how i look at it maybe you see it differently. Most guys that make it to main shows aren't under card guys unless their like McIntyre or Otunga. Right now Swagger is mid card for me especially considering he won the U.S Title. The fact is Swagger isn't on NXT and this should basically be for NXT guys/ guys that haven't achieved much yet. For people to pick Swagger is beyond lame and not the concept.

Could of just said "who has most potential from nXt" then tbh.

I'll go with Maxine, because shes hot as fuck, and plays the bitchy heel perfectly.
