Why have you chosen to feature a catch phrase? PS: Handsome Johnny/Don Chesterfield, if there is any justice, is the next guy. 6'2", 260 lbs or so, never gasses out, gives good interviews, loaded with charisma and can work up a storm. He's not a bodybuilder type, but he's got a thick upper body/chest and has a very believable look to him where pretty much anyone could sell for him.

Couldn't agree more. One of my favorites.

[eastman]

I can see The Phoenix Twins becoming big draws in TNA's tag division. Some other guys are Brodie Lee, Rashee Brown, Mike Bennett, Silas Young and that Fish guy.

I personally think the place to be right now is NOAH.

[#1SpiderFan]

I'd say Brian Anthony, Jason Blade, Frankie Arion or Eddie Edwards. ANy of these 4 would be a fine addition to either WWE's or TNA's roster.

[Paully54]

You gotta be big. Sorry to guys like Frankie Arion, Jason Blade, and Brian Anthony, but those chances are so slim because of their size. It seems as though Evan Bourne was a major exception.

My picks for potential guys who can make it but not necessarily soon:

Brian Milonas (looks great now that he lost weight)
Max Bauer
Mike Bennett
Paul Lombardi
Eddie Edwards
Handsome Johnny
Bryce Andrews
Antonio Thomas (can always get another shot)
Marshall McNeil (if managers ever become what they used to be again, and Marshall could make that happen if given a shot)
Mike Nice

That is an excellent list, tho Ive only seen Nice I think twice, so I can't make a definite opinion on him.

He's like 6'5" and 250, and he trains at Chaotic. That's the only opinion you really need. Chaotic doesn't train just anyone.

[MayorMcCheese]

Being totally unbiased. Truth is, Ive only seen pictures, but the guy Sledge that wrestles for Chaotic looks pretty big. Appearance is everything.

Umm..I have seen him, as I said. Once for EWA in Orange, once someplace else. And tho Chaotic has an outstanding record, just training there is no guarantee someone will always be what WWE or TNA wants, or is good enough for what WWE or TNA wants.

[Paully54]

Yes ghost, but Chaotic always trains quality wrestlers. They seem to weed out the useless wannabe's very well, unlike some other schools. Some schools seeminly will train anyone, but Chaotic really has a good focus on only training guys who have real potential to make it.

So with that said, a guy of Mike Nice's size with the training from Chaotic could propel him to great things.

Sorry to get off topic a bit.

Its not off topic at all. You said Mr Nice could be a breakout star, and I hope he is. The guys who work their butts off for top trainers like Chaotic, EPW, Mav, Landry, etc, I hope as many as possible get their shot at the big time.

[Kudo Driver]

After weeding out the smaller guys who are great but won't get the shot because, well, they're smaller...

Max Bauer
Brodie Lee
Handsome Johnny/Don Chesterfield

Someone mentioned Sledge...he has a great monster heel look and style that make him fun to watch. He's a blast as part of the Pleasures of Pain in FRW. Give him a couple of years and he could have a viable shot.

Agree about Lianos, Bauer, Lombardi and Handsome Johnny.

Thomas had a chance but was let go, so I dont see him going back there.

Marshal McNeil is a great indy manager, but WWE doesnt employ male managers anymore.

Bryce Andrews is vanilla.

Mike Bennett doesn't want it nor is his work anything special.

Eddie Edwards is great, but not WWE style. He's Indy great. I can see him making a go overseas.

Mike Nice has a very plain look.

[Paully54]

People get second chances every so often, so Thomas still has a chance.

A guy like Bryce, Bennett, Edwards or Mike Nice could be molded since they have the look and ability.

And Marshall could have a chance if they ever go back to the good old days of managers.

-Thomas is young and while not massive, is put together like a Greek God and can work very well on top of having a very good attitude and aptitude. Add to that that unlike many people who get cut from the roster or dropped off of developmental contracts, he's gone out and still bird dogged wrestling dates and got his ass booked in All Japan. That does count for something, and he still is a very viable candidate to get in. I wouldn't count him out just yet.

-Eddie Edwards can work more than a bunch of highspots and is a lot more versatile than you're giving him credit for. He's also done a lot of work on his body in the last couple of years.

[MayorMcCheese]

I think Eddie Edwards is too good for WWE. Hes a wrestlers' wrestler, but not a mainstream character that Vince wants.

Good point about Thomas.

so which guys do you think would make good looking girls then?

[jaydofct]

as for ROH i'd say Frankie Arion

I strongly hope not, they already have a good midget in Grizzly Redwood.

Brian Anthony? I do have to admit that he is a good talent and I have seen enough of him. In my opinion he needs to switch up his character. I have only seen him as a jerk that you hate but love. I would like to see him as a monster heel or a 100% baby face. Also Brian needs to get regular bookings out of state and then lets see if he can get over without friends and family. The talent that I do admire can do all of the above.

he's the champ of like... 3 other companies in new york and mass. brian has a good chance of getting a shot. i don't know what the stigma is against brian on here. but i see brian anthony having a shot, i heard bryce andrews moved down to florida to test the waters down there. bryce would be a good E worker. and, for frankie's sake, i know everyone's saying he could go to ROH, but i hope he doesn't go there so he doesn't get himself killed

[Backyard Mark]

You all suck! I can not believe that not one of you mentioned the most underrated, overlooked wrestler in New England. The Next TNA X Division star should be...KID MIKAZE!!! Amazing.

[batistabombkyle]

I THINK ITS GOING TO BE IAN CONNLEY AS THE NEXT GUY TO GO TO TNA I MADE A TRIBUTE VIDEO TO HIM HE CAN SEND IT TO WWE OR TNA AND MAYBE TEY WILL LOOK AT HIM

OK THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW

Being booked by the promotion to be a champion doesn't always mean a worker is that good. A lot of times, it just means there's nobody else worthy of holding the belt.

[MaxBaursBarber]

I'd have to say...

Max Baur, Eddie Edwards, The Logans, Handsome Johnny, Mike Bennett, Rich Bass (Yes, I know he's a ref, but he counts too)...could all make it in some capacity in either the WWE or TNA.

Just my opinion.
