The Next Generation of "Superstars"

Who do you feel will be the future of the business. I mean, who do you see taking the sport to the next generation. Guys like Hogan, Savage, Hart, Michaels, Austin, and Rock all changed the business and changed what it was built around. Who do you feel will be the next big marquee players.

To me, some are obvious. I'll give you a run down, only list 4 or 5 if you'd like.

Randy Orton
Here's the most obvious one to me, the guy is a great athlete, has a great look and is already being groomed for greatness. Let him sharpen his in rings skills and he'll be a staple and a household name.

AJ Styles
Styles is the man I think is going to change what you look for in a wrestler, just as Brock changed what you expect to see from a big man. Styles has learned psycology from guys like Raven, and Double J, that along with his just absolutely amazing mind for innovations and great athletic ability, he's going to change the game.

Shelton Benjamin
The definition of diamond in the rough. The thing I like about Shelton is he knows how to work a crowd, he's an incredibly gifted wrestler, and he can go to the air and pull out things like 450 splashes (something we haven't seen from him since his emergance in the WWE). Shelton is the kind of guy, who the fans will latch on too easily, if WWE markets him and gives him a shot he'll explode.

Guys like Nova, Lynn, Daniels, Williams, Hass, ect I see good things for but I just don't see a major company putting them in a position that they can make much of a push.
