You never really know.
Did Stunning Steve Austin ever look like a main event player? (Actually a question I didnt watch back then), Or Rocky Maivia?
Ok, they werent stuck in Santino's gimmick, but did you ever really look at them as main event, honestly?
They seem to be breaking away from the whole Santina thing, and at least he got on to Wrestlemania, and the Raw opening video.
I believe he could be Main Event potential. If the crowd really like a few things he does, he could get a push based on crowd reaction alone. For a heel, he isnt exactly boo'd a lot.
I think he would need more luck than most, but it certainly isnt out of the realms of possibility at this stage. If he starts getting drug suspensions then I would say no, but as he hasnt so far iirc, I'd say he's in with a fair shot.
His ring work isnt bad, his mic skills are very good, and his demeanor and awareness of his gimmick are superb. Its the little touches he does, like stealing king's sandwich, and his mannerisms that make him stand out. He is very similar to the rock in that respect, and that is a big part of what it takes to get over in my opinion.
