The WWE Youth Movement & The Next 10+ Years

**Schlomey** · 09-25-2010, 12:23 PM

The WWE has been said to be in a "youth movement". Seemingly everyone from the Attitude Era and before is gone with the exception of a few. Lets take a look at the crop of "under 30" wrestlers that will lead this movement. Who will become this generations biggest stars? Who is getting pushed that you assume will fall into obscurity? Is there anyone you see replacing the top guys on the roster? Here is the under 30 crew......

Daniel Bryan
Darren Young
DH Smith
Evan Bourne
Heath Slater
The Usos
John Morrison
Randy Orton
Justin Gabriel
Michael Tarver
Primo Colon
Sheamus (he is actually 32)
Ted DiBiase
The Miz
Tyson Kidd
Wade Barrett (he is actually 33)
Yoshi Tatsu
Zack Ryder
Croft & Barretta
Cody Rhodes
Kurt Hawkins
Dolph Ziggler
Jack Swagger
Kaval
Kofi Kingston
Vance Archer (actually 33)

Here is how I see it happeninin the the next 5/10 years:

TOP TIER
Randy Orton
Evan Bourne
John Morrison
Sheamus
Ted DiBiase
The Miz
Wade Barrett
Dolph Ziggler
Jack Swagger
Vance Archer
Cody Rhodes

MID CARD
DH Smith
Justin Gabriel
Zack Ryder
Kaval
Kofi Kingston

LOW CARD/OBSCURITY
Most of the Nexus guys
Usos
Primo
Croft * Baretta
Yoshi Tatsu

Explanations:

With the smaller guys getting better spots (we have seen this in recent years with CM Punk and Jeff Hardy) I can see the youth movement including smaller World Champions. I would recommend the Light Heavyweight Title be brought back in the next year or 2 as more and more smaller guys debut and the other ones take larger roles in the company. Establish the title & then move the guys up accordingly.

Evan Bourne SHOULD be this generations equivalent of Shawn Michaels. No no no he will never be HBK or even close but in regards to a smaller guy who is over with the fans chasing the title. He is an underdog much like HBK was back at WM12 time. He may never win the world title but the guy should get to chase it and get soo close..much like Hardy. Capturing it is a possibility.

I assume Kofi will never be a main eventer. I am probably wrong but I just don't see it.

ok guys your turn.
