I love how people still say any small guy with blonde hair who will do a few high spots is the next Shawn Michaels.

You'd be a fool if you couldn't see that they are at least trying the same route. In a tag team, split, becomes WWE Intercontinental Champion after split, has a female 'manager' they are pushing him in a similar way but I doubt it will generate the same results.

Nitro can be great if they let him develop himself.

Don't forget, Nitro came from Tough Enough, so he's coming pretty damn far in the few years of training he's had. People like to bitch that he's green, but he's not that bad for how long he's been training.

Mark my words, Johnny Nitro is not the next HBK, but if used right, he will be WWE champion someday.

He looked retarded. He didn't look like a realistic wrestler, let alone a champion. Plus, from what I remember, he was pretty "meh" in the ring.

Seriously, can you imagine Maven merchandise? Outside of the unibrow, I can't see ANYTHING marketable about the guy.

You just describe 70% of the WWE locker room.

Nitro has NOTHING that makes him stand out from others.

How do you figure? The only person remotely like him is Edge, and most of the time Edge seems forced.

I'm telling you, the kid is something special. Just wait and see.

How long has Nitro been in WWE? How long did it take before Steve Austin or The Rock became "SUPERstars"?

I agree with WWKD, give Nitro time, book him right and he will be one of the next WWE Champions.
He has always had this presence about him such that are only seen in wrestling greats, e.g HBK.

To stick with the thread; No Nitro will not be the next Shawn Michaels, I don't believe in wrestlers becoming 'the next' of another, but he will be a star (aslong as he is given the time).

Well then you must have called Benoit a poor man's Bret Hart.

I like Nitro, and I think he's only going to get better over time. However, I can see the gripe that some people would have with him. While it took guys like Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, The Rock, etc...a while to get over...they weren't exactly in the limelight before they were ready to be there. The Rockers were a tag team in a division of a bunch of brilliant tag teams. They weren't even recognized champions. Steve Austin's first WWE stint was at The fucking Ringmaster, for shit sake. Even Triple H as Hunter Hearst Helmsley was pretty 'blah' at the time.

Nitro is already an intercontinental champion, and I guess that bothers some people. But honestly, today's wrestling world happens at a MUCH faster pace than it did back in the day. Back when there were 4 PPVs a year, everything was a lot more drawn out and things took a lot longer to come to fruition. That's probably why the matches felt like they meant more back then. Today, with 12+ PPVs a year, you've gotta keep those storylines rolling, and with that, you've got to make yourself some new stars more quickly. That's what I see happening with Nitro right now. For what it's worth, I think he's carrying the load pretty well. I definitely don't hate watching him and he's got some pretty unique offense. As far as the next Shawn Michaels, only (accelerated) time will tell.

The conclusion I drew from this thread is that Nitro is the next Edge?


Anyway, why the fuck does ever up and comer have to be the Next ______? Nobody says the Rock is the current Hogan, or was the future Hogan, or whatever. There is no current Hogan. There is no current Rock, for that matter. It's sort of a misplaced idea to try and compare a wrestler's future to the past of another guy.
