I'll give you a list of the recent up-and-comers to join the WWE, who does everyone think will have the best career?


  • Brock Lesnar
  • John Cena
  • Deacon Bautista
  • Randy Orton
  • Shannon Moore
  • Jamie Knoble
  • Chris Nowitski
  • Maven


This is a tough choice for me to make, because a number of them have the tools to compete there for a long time. I think that John Cena will be the one with the best career, although Brock and Bautista are impressive as hell (especially Bautista). I know others have probably said this, but John Cena reminds me a lot of Sting, and that is a good comparison to have.

The first three will definetly be main eventers down the road, but if I had to pick, my money is on Brocky....I really like Cena, but they need to let some more personality show, and stop having him pull the young rookie routine, it's very stupid and annoying...As for Leviathan(I refuse to use that stupid name wwe gave him) he is a monster, but he seems destined for bad gimmick central.....I think it was a mistake changing his gimmick at all, the Leviathan character was cool, he should go back to that, shave his head, wear the contacts, come down to the ring with that fucking huge chain on....

Orton is not bad, but he is simply not big enough to really get beyond the IC level....Knoble will eventually wind up doing dark matches....As for the Tough Enough guys, neither of which will make it big....I never wathced Tough Enough until the last few weeks, and all the time people had been telling me that Maven was so charismatic, frankly, I think the guy has the charisma of a pet rock...Is he gifted in the ring? Hard to tell at this point, his dropkicks are pretty good, but he just does'nt have it, same with Chris.

Lesnar is already being pushed to all hell, and I don't really see the wwe not pushing him in the future....He might take over the Rock position when Dwayne leaves to go do another movie...The sad part is, as impressive as he has been at times in the ring, they really are handicapping shooting star press once, really an impressive sight to see a man that size perform it....



There is an idea of a Gomez; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

Randy Orton will be big and Jamie Noble will be a cruiserweight jobber like Sho Funaki.

Switch the two, Fallon, and I'd agree with you.

There's two guys you haven't listed that I think will have great careers in the WWF. Mike Sanders and Sean O'Haire were two of my favorites in the dying days of WCW. Sanders was decent in the ring and awesome on the stick and O'Haire not only looks like a legit badass motherfucker, he's good in the ring. IF they continue to work on their respective games, I think they'll last a long time.

Personally, I think they should pair the two of them together. They'd have an HBK/Diesel thing going minus that whole drug addicted, immobile old guys thing.

Just added Shannon Moore to the list. This kid has the goods as well to be the best cruiserweight in the WWE. Gotta like his skills.

And, who woulda thunk that 2 members of 3 Count would be in WWE as faces? HAHA

Serious answer....as to who will have the best career in the WWE - I say it's a toss-up between Lesnar & Cena.

Cena could have a very good run in the promotion.

Lesnar could too, IF they actually let the man wrestle. The monster heel schtick will wear thin, and in fact, it already has. The reason why the fans aren't popping like crazy for him is because this isn't the 80s. We don't need a guy to be a perpetual monster heel. Watch a Lesnar match and count how many power moves he does. Count how many of the SAME power moves he does. Then realize that the man's a national wrestling champion, and can do SOOOO much more (a shooting star press, for Christ's sakes), but they aren't letting him.

If I had to choose between the two, I think that Lesnar has the edge, for now.

I wish they'd push O'Haire, though. For those who think he's a badass, he IS. He's fought in and won a few toughman competitions, so he's a legit badass. He's got the look and the talent to have a good stay in the promotion.
