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

**The CyNick** · 05-01-2008, 04:46 PM

Ive tried to catch RAW the last couple weeks, and to me Kennedy is the one guy that stood out over the rest.

One of the things I noticed is that he's got a schtick for crowd interaction. He kept saying "who's the guy who did *this and that*" and the crowd was yelling "KENNEDY". Then he finally broke into his MISTER KENNEDY deal and the crowd ate it up.

He also has a very believeable intense look, which IMO is virtually impossible to teach. Not sure about his ring work, havent seen too many of his matches, but he would be my choice right now.

I dont get the CM Punk love. I watched him in the KOTR tourny, and I just thought he was blah. I also saw the MITB match, and I wasnt really overly impressed with him there. Not sure where he can go.

If Jeff Hardy could ever lay off the drugs I think he could be a long term WWE Champion. I watched a RAW near the Royal Rumble, and I knew he was getting more cheers, but the crowd was nuts for him. What he has going for him, aside the crazy moves, is that he stands out from the pack, both in terms of looks and personality. Which helps.

Matt I just talked about in another thread, I just never see him as being a top guy.

I like MVP, although maybe I just like his entrance and his weird ring attire. I think he needs some grooming though. I see him like John Cena was circa early 2003 when he was fueding with Brock and Taker. I think thats what they need to do with MVP now that he lost the US title. Put him in there with the top guys (Batista, Taker, Rey, etc) and have him lose most of the time, but come close and still talk crap afterwards.

Randy as a face is interesting. I look at him and I think "prick" so its hard for me to imagine him as the top face. I think he's great in the role they have him.

John Cena cant be turned heel. Lots more kids are in the crowds these days, and I think they are driving a lot of the revenues for WWE. I mean think about when you were a kid and liked He-Man or Transfromers or whatever, and how much moneyt you made your parents spend on those things. I think without a babyface Cena, you would lose a lot of those kids who think he's superman right now.

Lots of people compare him to Rock, and how good he was as a heel, but I think the times are different. As much as Cena gets booed at PPVs or whatever, he's still selling merch, selling tix, selling DVDs, so why get off that gravy train?
