I agree with this wholeheartedly.

Lesnar would be my pick for walking out with the title at Mania as a babyface., I dont care if he is a part time performer.

There's a part of me that agrees with this, but there's also a part of me that says that the WWE will suffer if their "best guy" is out of the storylines for months on end. Case in point - this year. The WWE was actually red-hot until Stephanie fired Lesnar. Once Lesnar was out, the show went to shit. I just think that sooner than later, someone is going to have to go over Lesnar cleanly and convincingly.

If not him, I would be fine with Reigns if the story culminates with Reigns and Rollins for the belt (maybe even throw in Ambrose for fun). I dont see the problem with Reigns. Then again, I dont understand why people booo Cena.

If Reigns can somehow connect with the fans more, then I wouldn't mind seeing him be "the guy," but we saw how that panned out this past year. Reigns still has a little ways to go.

Cesaro, Ryback, Ziggler are all missing something IMO, I cant see either of them being "the guy".

Completely agree with you on Ryback.


As far as Ziggler goes, I actually think his 'star' was on the rise a few years back, but the WWE failed to capitalize on it. I think it was a few years ago when Ziggler 'cashed in' on Alberto Del Rios and the roof blew off of the place. Had the WWE gone full force with Ziggler back then, I think he would have had a good chance of succeeding with the push. It's going to be tough to rebuild Ziggler's credibility with the fans, but who knows. I don't think Ziggler would exactly be the next Cena or Stone Cold, be he atleast deserve(s)(d?) a shot.


As far as Cesaro goes, I think the guy is ready, and was ready big time last year. Had the WWE given Cesaro the push that Roman Reigns got (as a face, and letting Cesaro keep 'Swagger's theme'), then I think he would've been huge.


Cesaro is a very solid wrestler, but also had the most 'over' move in the WWE last year with that 'airplane' move. That, combined with the fact the people loved chanting 'We, the people' when CESARO was in the ring duing tag matches, and also combined with the fact that his/Swagger's theme music was one of the most 'over' themes at the time, I think Cesaro could have been huge.


I still have hope for Cesaro, and still think there's a 'window' for him, but we'll see what the WWE does. I absolutely think that Cesaro can be the face of the company if pushed right. Management doesn't seem to think so however.



Dean Ambrose is another guy I'm bull-ish on. Like Cesaro, I feel like the fans would really get behind an Ambrose main-event push.
