EDITORS NOTE - I wonder if Jeff Hardy and D'Lo Brown are worthy of being mentioned on this list (that I created on April 30th, 2008, 03:42PM Pacific Standard Time).

QUESTION - Which WWE wrestler can be a successful main-event FACE?

Finally...........Heyman..........has come *back* to Tee Pee Dubya!

Anyway - I don't watch wrestling too much nowadays, but I think we can all agree that one MAJOR problem in the WWE right now, is that they don't have that "Break-away" #1 (fresh) face. Undertaker is ok, but he's been around forever. He's not going to "draw in" anyone new." I think the same can be said for guys like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Jericho.

A guy like Big Show could be interesting, but I question as to how much would DRAW. I'm also not sure if Jeff Hardy could be THE guy. To me anyway - he seems like he'd be a "flash in the pan" type guy. Popular one day....a memory the next.

I still think John Cena could draw IMMENSE cheers but ironically enough, I think he'd have to be HEEL in order for this to happen (and start rapping again).

So - long story short - WHO do I think could potentially be TOP main-event faces that could DRAW?! If I was a betting man, here is who I'd put my money on:

6) Umaga: This 'selection' of mine may raise a few eyebrows, but for anyone that's been reading my posts all these years, know that I'm the king of eccentric ideas (good or bad

). Personally? I think that "Ooooo Ooooo Oooomaga!" chant from Wrestlemania was kind of catchy. I think that's something that further develop if pushed right. Umaga cutting promo's and dropping some 'English' words is also somewhat amusing. I think the idea of cheering Umaga (as a joke) could actually pan out.

4) CM Punk: I think CM Punk has a lot of work ahead. While he's loved on here, I'm just not sure if he has enough charisma/mic skill to really be accepted at the next level. Time will tell.

3) Matt Hardy: It's amazing how much fan fare Matt Hardy has, DESPITE never being pushed. In the future, I wouldn't mind seeing Matt Hardy go over Edge for the World title. Matt's music is awesome, and the fans genuinely seem to like the guy. Matt's only drawback, is that he's been in the mid-cards for a very long time. People might have trouble accepting him as a TRUE main-event guy.

2) Ken Kennedy: If Kennedy can be more bad-ass (and not be quite as one dimensional), I think he's another guy that can potentially draw. A major advantage that Kennedy has (that a lot of other guys do NOT have), is the fact that Kennedy is still relatively new......and hasn't been an upper-card wrestler before. I look forward to seeing his feud with William Regal.

1) Randy Orton: Orton has a few MAJOR things going for him.

a) His bad-ass personna seems to be legit. Orton seems like the type of guy that will keep his current personna, even if he turns face. That is HUGE. This "bad ass personna" will ensure that he stays over with the fans. One huge downfall of his face turn 3 years ago, was the fact that he started kissing the fans ass. If the next face turn occurs, this won't likely happen.

b) Chanting "Randy" isn't a very difficult thing to do.

c) Fans love winners. Randy is a perceived "main-event guy" amongst the fans. This holds an incredible amount of weight.

Anyway - who do YOU think has a chance at becoming the next (fresh) main-event face?.....one that can possibly draw?
