Which rookie do you see making it big in the next decade?
 

Big is relative. I count TNA championships as "big" since it's someone making good money on tv.

How is a rookie defined?

It's really hard to predict in today's WWE landscape, especially with it's booking being all over the place.

At the start of the year, I'd have said that WWE seem pretty high on Big Cass and he definitely has a good future ahead of him. On the other hand, I can't think of fuck all that he's done in the last five months of any relevance, and Jinder Mahal is now WWE champion.

At this point in time literally anything can happen.

I'm a fan of Big Cass and I see him having a large role in the future. Maybe change his ring gear when he splits from Enzo.

Someone just starting out in wrestling. How about first 5 years?

He needs some long tights, bad.

Roman Reigns

Dan Matha

Big Cass, because he's 7 foot tall, and you can't teach that.

ROMAN REIGNSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Holy shit at that guy. Good fucking eye.

Agree with others that WWE is way too unpredictable with their booking. Years ago if you had told me that it would take as long as it did for Wyatt to become champion, and that it would be a nothing trasitionary one month run, I'd have called you crazy.

Might be easier to predict which WWE talent will get released and become TNA champion. I'll go with Tye Dillinger.

Lord knows.

If you told me that the next big star would be three badgers on ecstasy stapled together and placed into a saucepan I wouldn't be entirely that shocked.

The Drifter. A taller and buffer Seth Rollins.

Maybe "make it big" was too vague. WWE can pick anyone to be champ without the fans caring.

Yep.

Noid!! Welcome back! Missed you!

I missed you almost as much as you must miss Christian. :kiss:

Yay, Noid is back! :)

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Noid! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Gonna have to go with The Glorious One, Bobby Roode.

He's not a fucking rookie you knob. Next year will be his 20TH fucking year in the business.

My secondary answer is Paul Titan. :y:

By WWE standards he is.

WWE has standards?

How many wrestlers actually join WWE out of the gate? Everyone has years of experience before making it to the big company.

Roman Reigns, Barron Corbin, Mojo Rawly, and Charlotte just to name a few off the top of my head.

Charlotte is obviously not typical.

About 5% start out in WWE basically? That really helps the discussion of this thread.

Im sure the WWE Performance Center is full of them and a bunch dont even make it to NXT.

Then obviously we won't be using them in this thread. Fl

Not sure what's going on.

Ziggler.

Randy Orton only had about a fews months of training outside of WWE before signing.

It's been over a year.

Time for an update.

It doesn't matter if they're not big yet, they have 9 years to go.

I’d add Jake Kasper to the list.

Impressive.

When he speaks all I can picture is Jack Swagger

Lol boy were we wrong on Big Cass
