Aside from Daniel Bryan....who will truly shine this year??

I would love to see Caesaro get pushed big time.....

Caesaro is impressive in ever single way, severely underutilised. Big, ridiculous strength, agile, can actually wrestle, he needs a singles push.

Karl Kox · « **Reply #2 on:** January 29, 2014, 07:05:26 AM »

Ambrose, Roman, Bray Wyatt.

Wyatt reminds me of heel Jake Roberts.

If things go right then Reigns will be THE star of 2014

antonio caesoro should get a big push, his athletism is through the roof. he has moves he hasn't even used yet. but for some reason they keep holding him back.

Playboy · « **Reply #5 on:** January 29, 2014, 08:08:37 AM »

Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt

Anyone see that Caesaro has been aded to Elimination Chamber?? Now of course he isn't going to win BUT this could be the start of something.

No...hes a good worker but theres no charisma. Low to midcard for life at best.

Agree.

I heard him in Colt Cabana's podcast. He's a nice guy, but not much personality.

I'll go with Dean Ambrose. Not the most physically gifted guy on the roster, but has that "It" quality that makes you pay attention to what he's saying.

Paul Heyman is showing how effective that can be, i would love to see the return of "families". Stable feuds would be an untapped resource for the modern era, i used to love seeing Heenan, Hart etc attacking faces and building up PPV's by the faces then going through them 1 at a time.

HHH got smart. He lost that silly blue blood gimmick, went to Vince got on the sauce hard, reinvented himself and became the game. You need to open your mouth and talk. Thats why Hogan..Rock...Stone Cold are all successful.

And, over 90% of the guys today can't do that.

Reigns is potentially the best prospect right now.

Wyatt has impressed me so far, as I didn't believe the gimmick would work at first. I still think they need something adding to really make them click, but they're on the right road. The problem is that it's completely a one-man show, the other two 'brothers' have nothing about them other than size.

Cesaro is talented, but I agree with the others that he's lacking in charisma.

The one I can't agree with is Ambrose. He just seems to be trying too hard with his character, so he comes across as cartoonish and exaggerated. If he could tone it down a little, I think it would be better. Rollins is OK, and they'll flip him face when the Shield breaks up, but he's going to be another Kofi Kingston type guy, good athletic ability, but he's got nothing other than that as far as I've seen so far. Reigns is the one to watch, big guy, strong, aggressive with a good look. He's got a decent bloodline behind him as well, which can't hurt!

yeah i wasnt sure which direction they were going with the wyatts. seemed to be going in circles and not really accomplishing anything but the cena angle is a good one i think, going after the company golden boy and all.

The problem with the Wyatts is he is portrayed as an anti-authority figure but he's not attacking the Authority.

Now, they're feuding with the Shield for no particular reason. This will probably last cor one PLV then it's back to square one, as you said, circles.

I'm not as high on Reigns as everybody. Sure, he has a look and athletic ability but his mic skills could hold him back as a singles face. As a singles heel, he'd make a good Heyman guy.

I'm not sure if he's been given chance to really show what he can do with a mic, as they've let Ambrose do most of the talking so far. Granted, he could be awful, but I'd be interested to see how he does given a proper opportunity.

Do have to agree with Bray Wyatt as well. Word on the street is him vs Cena at WM30

Speaking of, Bray is Rotunda's son, what happen to Wyndham's son? Is he still in NXT?

littleguns · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2014, 06:27:19 AM »

If Cena allows Bray to go over at Wrestlemania, this will catapult Bray to the stratosphere.

Foley recently tweeted....."Bray is more Mankind than I was"..

Dude supposedly scripts his own promos......

Yeah he's very good on the stick. Reminds me of Jake Roberts.
