What Happens In Five Years...

[Silkk]

I personally just don't think that there is any complete packages on the roster right now....when we see one, we'll know it....

Edit : Amongst the MEN.

Women might have a couple...their ceiling is just how popular *can* women wrestling be? However popular it *can be* in the mainstream...Bayley/Sasha/Becky can reach that if allowed.

Nakamura
AJ Styles
Del Rio
Zayn
Samoa Joe
Kevin Owens

Bray, Sheamus, Reigns, Rollins, & Ambrose are close as well imo


Just a matter of booking.

Its crazy to me how they have all these big potential international stars but refuse to "make" them

Japan: Nakamura, Asuka, Finn
Ireland: Sheamus, Finn, Becky
Mexico: Del Rio, Kalisto
Canada: Zayn, Owens, Natalya
UK: Bad New Barrett (Killed), Neville
Cesaro repping for like 6 different places

UFC pretty much made Connor McGregor overnight and dude is a crazy draw, trash ass WWE booking can't make one

This is what i meant to complement HHH/NXT on, next special is Takeover: Japan and they did a hell of a job getting/making two legit Japanese superstars going into it and could possibly have Kenta back.

Y'all kill me with this shyt. Name any star who was a complete package from day 1.

@LaughsLikePac, you are making @SteelCitySoldier's point.

Flair and Hogan could carry pay per views by themselves. Meanwhile, fans are tired of today's top stars and WWE has nothing in the cupboard to address the issue.

Tomorrow's Wrestlemania is indicative of their problems. They had to bring in a non-wrestler to face the Undertaker because they don't believe in anyone on the roster.

WWE is indeed aging out.

Yes, the product is stale because the writing team is undermining talent, but WWE has also failed to develop their talent. None of the Shield members are is equivalent to Flair, Hogan or Cena.

And AJ Styles and Nakamura have to prove that they can succeed wrestling the WWE style. Hell, we don't even know if they can survive WWE politics.

Hogan was 37 at Wrestlemania 6.

Ric Flair was 43 at Wrestlemania 8.

Most wrestlers don't hit there stride till their 30's.

Between Finn, Nakamura, Sami Zayn, Enzo and Cass, Jordan and Gable, Apollo Crews, Corbin, Seth Rollins, Cesaro, Ambrose, Reigns, Blake and Murphy, New Day, Rusev, Bray, Neville, etc.

We gon eat better than ever!

It's everything u want in there, characters, funny dudes, workers, high flyers, brawlers, foreign talent. We living through the greatest influx of talent in American wrestling ever. The roster is going to be flooded in 2-3 years.

 

[85 East]

Everything happens in cycles. Once t'is current gen is gone a new one will pop up. It's par for the course. You will have Cody at 35 leading the pack, NXT is amazing for breeding and gearing up the guys waiting in line. But it will give way for new blood and new story lines. Maybe even a next Gen McMahon.

Gotta give it time. These dudes are still in there Rambling Ricky Rhodes, Flex Kavana, Stunning Steve Austin, Sterling Golden, Mean Mark phase.

Let these guys put it together. WCW Eddie Guerroro, had pieces of greatness but he put it together later. Same with Austin or whoever. Roman is failing because he's still Flex Kavana, he's not The Rock... Yet... Can he get there?...I believe so.

But nostalgia blinds y'all into acting like everyone was born great. Most of these dudes didn't get really good until their 30's.

Wrestling will never be attitude era mainstream again and that's fine. These dudes like Nakamura, Rollins, Cesaro are changing the game. They're supposed to.

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Brehs y'all think I'm talking crazy but where are the new stars? Y'all talking bout NXT but none of these dudes are on the roster to take over for Cena. Cena is injured and not an advertised member of Mania and the match everyone is looking forward to has a dude who hasn't even been in WWE for over ten years and another who only wrestles at Mania.

The next is with a part timer who can bounce at anytime.

The next "anticipated" match is between a a part timer and a new dude who is as old as that part timer. AJ vs Jericho.

The Main Event which NOBODY cares about is HHH and someone who has been shoved in our faces for three years and we still ain't accepted... at a time we even accepted Cena...let's be real.

This shyt is sad. We don't fukk with 90% of the shyt they're trying to get over and in five years this is what they want us to accept.

This is a ride that never ends.

Just a matter of booking.

Some of them might be special, but we've seen quite a bit out of a lot of them. I'm waiting on Seth's face turn.

I think that Del Rio and Sheamus are beyond being cross-cultural icon types at this point.

Y'all kill me with this shyt. Name any star who was a complete package from day 1.

Where did I imply that they have to be a complete package from day 1? Of course someone can grow into it.
