Orton right now gives me the old heel Corporate Rock feel.

Carlito is more like Razor Ramon.

nah, Orton is Orton
Heel Carlito is the closest thing
But in retrospect, no one can touch The Rock right now

The Rock was never a huge draw, so I hope none of these are like him for the sake of the WWE.

Check the numbers. Other than when he was the "supporting character" for Austin he never drew huge. Look into the time frame when Austin out on injury and compare. He's like HBK, people spazz over him, but he REALLY wasn't as huge as people make him out to be.

HBK was the link though between the "New Generation" and the "Attitude Era" he carried that company on his back for the better part of 3 year of course "The Kliq" helped him out as well but HBK drew alot of Money for that time period. Sure not as much as SCSA but wrestling was not as mainstream as it was with SCSA

HBK was a terrible draw. Compaired to Bret Hart maybe he was a good draw, but that's only because Hart is probably the one of the worst drawing champions of all time.
I'd actually vote for Kennedy. I think he has huge potential

of the choices, Carlito. Cena is more like austin, and Orton is just orton.

If the Rock was never a draw then he wouldn't be making 15 million per movie.

The talking in third person aspect of Carlito gives him the vote.

Wasn't the highest rated segment on RAW called: "Rock this is your life"?

I don't see anybody currently in the WWE as being close to the Rock, but of the choices I'd have to say Carlito. And I really can't even buy into that decision. I don't want another Rock, anyway.

The closest thing in the WWE to The Rock right now is Ken Kennedy. He's also the closest thing to Stone Cold Steve Austin, in my opinion. Ken Kennedy is honestly the future of the business, in my opinion.

As already said, Carlito is more like a rehash of Razor Ramon, and a decent one at that.
I don't think Ken Kennedy is the next rock or Stone Cold. I'm kind of hoping he's the first Ken Kennedy.

Lots of wrestlers aren't big draws simply because wrestling isn't as popular at the time they were in it. That is not because it's their lack of draw power, sometimes wrestling just isn't the "in" thing.

Carlito because Cena and Orton suck

Of course he's the first Ken Kennedy, but he's the most cocky, arrogant, son of bitch (in terms of Rock-like arrogance), plus he's presented as enough of a badass to back it up. Hopefully he goes over The Undertaker at No Mercy.

Kennedy is by far the closet thing to The Rock in the wwe at the moment.
A distant second is Carlito.
Orton and Cena are nothing like The Rock are at all.

If Kennedy is the closest thing to The Rock that the WWE's got, then I think Dwayne can rest well tonight.

P.S. Kennedy sucks
