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

D Mac 09-22-2006 03:11 PM

Carlito is more like Razor Ramon.

The Naitch 09-22-2006 03:12 PM

nah, Orton is Orton

Heel Carlito is the closest thing

But in retrospect, no one can touch The Rock right now

Destor 09-22-2006 03:15 PM

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

Really?

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

Destor 09-22-2006 03:29 PM

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

Y2Jeremy 09-22-2006 05:09 PM

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.

Craftsman 09-22-2006 07:22 PM

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"?

Joyrider 09-22-2006 07:48 PM

uh.. Mr Kennedy

ron the dial 09-22-2006 08:00 PM

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.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2006 10:07 AM

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.

Jaton 09-23-2006 11:41 AM

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.

YOUR Hero 09-24-2006 03:44 PM

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.

Skippord 09-24-2006 05:32 PM

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.

Pinnacle Charisma 09-25-2006 09:53 AM

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.

KingofOldSchool 09-25-2006 02:12 PM

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

KingofOldSchool 09-25-2006 02:12 PM

P.S. Kennedy sucks
