Phil is a practical lock for at least the next 2-3 years. His body shows absolutely zero signs of being tired from either the training or the drugs. We saw the best of Kai last year and the best of Wolf this year and neither one could beat him. Rhoden will never seriously threaten Heath. He's too old and he'll never have the back to really compete with Heath. Dexter, Jay, Roelly, no way.
Big Ramy, who knows how his physique will progress. Big guys like that often burn out fast and never really figure out how to nail the conditioning it takes to win the big shows.
I really thought Cedric was the one who had everything to be the next big thing but man has he been disappointing.
It's Phil's world and all the other guys are just living in it.
