However I must say, from listening to his interview with Colt he is a definite student of the game and is still VERY young and will only get better.

He's also catering to a crowd who wants him to be a spot monkey and eat all that shit up. That also needs to be taken into account. Who knows how he'd wrestle in front of a WWE type crowd, under WWE type restrictions.
This is pretty much what I agree with. PAC sets himself apart from the pack in the independent scene by floating around and doing cool shit. People pay to see it and mark out live. It doesn't mean the dude can't tell a story. He's just marketing himself well.

Plus, I like how "clunky" he makes everything look. He doesn't make everything smooth, and it adds a bit of realism to his style. I was recently thinking about PAC signing with the WWE, essentially filling the John Morrison/Evan Bourne holes and becoming "Thomas Saint" or something like that (homage to both The Dynamite Kid and Johnny Saint).

Also, Kevin Steen right now is one of the hottest prospects in independent wrestling. He seems like the uncrowned ROH World Champion right now. He's got that "I'm really going to kick your ass" charisma mixed with the "common man" look. I don't know if it would translate over to a stage like the WWE, but I could certainly see him in TNA.
