new world champion

[whitehead12]

Which one out of each group wins the WWe or world title first?

Zach Ryder
sin cara
Evan Bourne


Mark Henry
r-truth
David otunga

Kofi Kingston
john Morrison
Cody rhodes

[Aguakate]

Ummm...Well, I'll bite:

...Sin Cara...

...Mark Henry...

...John Morrison.

[Emperor Smeat]

sin cara
Mark Henry
Cody rhodes

Out of all the names, Henry is the closest to having a title reign although it does assume his feud with Orton won't be just a toss away feud after 1-2 months.

Zack Ryder
Sin Cara
Evan Bourne
None of the Above

Mark Henry
R-Truth
David Otunga

Kofi Kingston
John Morrison
Cody Rhodes

[screech]

I'm gonna go one further and give explanations in a bit.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

In all honesty: none.

Though I'll say

Sin Cara
R-Truth
Cody Rhodes

[screech]

Zack Ryder

I like Ryder. I think his YouTube show is very funny and he's decent in the ring. But to me, his promos are boring. I watched him on ECW and felt bad hyping up his new gimmick after watching a promo. His mannerisms are great, his character helps his overness, but he's just not that interesting in front of a crowd (or on Colt Cabana's podcast for that matter).

Sin Cara

He's more over with the majority of the crowd than Ryder, and more of a singles star than Bourne. I think the heel turn will actually help the character in the long run, especially if they run with the Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara feud that's been rumored. And he can cut a better promo than both of his opponents here.

Evan Bourne

Just gonna come out and say it: I can't get behind Evan Bourne. His matches are very good and he can work well with a lot of guys, but he completely loses me when he speaks. He's in a good spot right now in the [hopefully almost] revitalized tag division. I don't really care to see him any higher, solely because that would mean more promos.

Mark Henry

Kind of a tough call with R-Truth in there (never thought I'd say that), but definitely ahead of Otunga. He's been on a tear since going to Smackdown! so I think he's the one to get it in his group. R-Truth has been great lately, as in "wow he's really entertaining me right now." Mark Henry has been on a "give him the belt" roll. I never thought I'd see the day when I considered myself a Mark Henry fan.

R-Truth

As I said, R-Truth has been on a roll as well. But when he was in the WWE title match a few months ago I wasn't really hoping he'd win it. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would like to see him eventually get it, to say he overcame the conspiracy. Those promos would be gold. I'd rather see Henry get it first, though.

David Otunga

I really liked him at first on NXT. Then I realized his matches weren't so great, and his promos left something to be desired. Lately though, he's stepped it up in the ring (can't recall a recent promo, honestly). He seems a lot more comfortable now and I'm a big fan of him teaming with McGillicutty (love their chemistry - that theme though...). Will he ever get there? Long shot, I think. Certainly third in this group to me, but you never know. His wife could end up doing him [even more] favors (:naughty:).

Cody Rhodes

This was the easiest choice. Cody has been awesome since the Dashing gimmick and maybe even better with this sinister, tortured character. Plus, his matches have been awesome for some time now. He is a star and will at least be in the title picture by the end of this year, I think.

Kofi Kingston

Kofi's time was against Orton a couple of years ago. Until he gets a gimmick overhaul, he won't get there in my opinion. I know this is the typical solution, but a heel turn could work wonders for him. Maybe not even a turn, but a more serious, physical side like we started to see during the aforementioned Orton feud.

John Morrison

I like Morrison, but I think two major factors work against him: his ties to Melina and his lack of promo ability. Like Bourne, he can have great matches with a number of people. Like Ryder, he has his supporters. But also like both, his inability to really connect via the promo will hurt him. Will he get there? Maybe. Recently it's looking bleak, though I haven't seen RAW yet. He has a shot, but it's going to take some work (and a heel turn :shifty:)

[St. Jimmy]

These are the shittiest groups in the world. Fuck off.

[#1-norm-fan]

In the spirit of saving what could be a good topic, I'm gonna just go ahead and give three more well suited groups:

Group 1
Alex Riley
Ezekiel Jackson
Jinder Mahal

Group 2
Ted DiBiase
Drew McIntyre
Justin Gabriel

Group 3
Wade Barrett
Daniel Bryan
Mark Henry

Bold for those who will, italic for those who I'd like to see...

Can't see Mark Henry pulling the belt off Orton...

[Mr. Nerfect]

Zach Ryder
Sin Cara
Evan Bourne

Personally, I think Sin Cara could be holding World Title gold sometime next year. I could totally see them doing Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara at WrestleMania next year, giving the Sin Cara character a massive rub, and eventually following that into a big "Summer of Sin Cara" push. Ryder and Bourne might get there in their own time, but neither seems to have too much immediate about them. 2013 may be their years.

Mark Henry
R-Truth
David Otunga

Henry doesn't have too many years ahead of him, I'm sure -- and despite how awesome he's been lately -- I think the better business decision is to keep the World Heavyweight Title on Randy Orton for the moment. R-Truth is a guy that I can see flirting with the WWE Title, but never winning it. The guy legally can't compete in Canada. If they wouldn't give MVP a serious push because of his past, I doubt they'd let Truth get the ball and run with it. He's done about the best he can with his heel gimmick, though. The guy with the bright future in this lead is easily Otunga, in my opinion. The guy has a head on his shoulders, a famous wife and is new to the business. Give this guy a few years and we'll all be talking about how he's the next Miz, in my opinion.

Kofi Kingston
John Morrison
Cody Rhodes

I think the WWE will finally snap and give Morrison the WWE Title run he could have sometime next year. I think Rhodes will be consistently groomed for a top-flight heel spot -- but I don't think it'll be his turn until sometime later next year or in 2013. Kingston is another guy I see winning a World Title; but I just don't think it will be before Morrison.

Alex Riley
Ezekiel Jackson
Jinder Mahal

Despite the WWE clearly having hard-ons for Ezekiel Jackson and Jinder Mahal -- I'm just not sure either is the real deal when it comes to delivering on that main event level. Alex Riley has shown signs of that. Once he pays his dues a bit more, we'll be seeing Alex Riley as a World Champion.

Ted DiBiase
Drew McIntyre
Justin Gabriel

I always thought that Cody Rhodes was a lot better, but the more I see of Ted DiBiase, the more I see what many people have claimed has been there from the start. Hey, maybe I was wrong? DiBiase is showing himself to be a great worker, a potentially great character and a charismatic presence. It'll be interesting to see how his face turn goes. If people get behind him -- strap a rocket to his back. McIntyre and Gabriel both have the skills, the look and (in Gabriel's case, anyway) a connection to the crowds -- but if DiBiase can just get over as a babyface, then he'll be the easy choice.

Wade Barrett
Daniel Bryan
Mark Henry

Daniel Bryan seems like he could be winning the World Heavyweight Title next year at WrestleMania. I can't see anyone but Randy Orton heading into that match as World Champion. Will Barrett or Henry win the World Title before then? As I said earlier, I'm not sure if Henry will ever be the World Heavyweight Champion. If he ever gets the belt -- I think it will be now. But as good as Barrett also is, I can't see him winning a World Title until next year, post-Mania, at the earliest. Watch him go and prove me wrong now, though.

i could buy henry winning the title at NOC. the way they are building him up to be this unstoppable force makes me think he is going to have an epic battle with orton.

Group 1
Alex Riley
Ezekiel Jackson
Jinder Mahal

Group 2
Ted DiBiase
Drew McIntyre

Group 3
Wade Barrett

Discuss

Ezekiel Jackson - Riley won't have a chance as long as he stays on RAW while Mahal might fizzle out once the whole Khali storyline ends.

Drew McIntyre - DiBiase is struggling and while McIntyre hasn't been pushed or shown as much lately, I still think he has a better chance overall than Gabriel for the long run.

Mark Henry - Most likely getting a title reign once the feud with Orton is done while Bryan probably doesn't cash in the case until next year and Barrett is too far down the heel side to have a chance anytime soon.

[Next Big Thing]

If David Otunga ever becomes a World Champion, I'll quit wrestling forever.....

But he's married to Jennifer Hudson and that's going to attract all new demographics and bring higher ratings :roll:

[Beth Phoenix Fan]

on the subject of david otunga, he should have a gimmick similar to something off of police academy

and this should be his new theme
