The week I fell in love with wrestling all over again

As I sit on my bed just now and I think about the past week in WWE and how good some of the quality of matches has been I realize that all the moaners, all the haters, all the hardcore internet fans need to stop complaining. Over the last six days we have seen a few great moments that highlight just how much WWE's product is picking up. 

Example 1 - The Wyatt/Shield match at Elimination Chamber. If you can find more than 3 things about that match that you felt were awful then you need to re-evaluate how much you "love" wrestling. The match was nearly pure gold. The crowd chanted "This is awesome" before anything happened! The whole match showed just what WWE can do when they actually put their minds to it. 

Example 2 - Undertakers return. I will be the first to admit I am not the biggest Undertaker fan but even I got chills. The return was predicted. The return was obvious. But my god the return was great. Brock looked great and its clear he has been working out again. Taker looked good considering he hasnt been in a ring for god knows how long now and his ministry goatee was a great throw back to his younger self. I posted a comparison photo this week on twitter and let me tell you Taker only looks (facially) about 5 years older than he did in 1999. The match was set up well and the psychology of Brock looking at Taker and analyzing the situation was good for Brock. He didnt back down and he didn't try run. The chokeslam at the end of the segment looked well done and it was clear that Brock has no issue selling.

Example 3 - The Network debuted. Yep. Possibly the biggest debut of the year so far. Yes I am aware the network has a few glitches but what the hell did you expect when over 120000 people sign up at once? That is a lot even for people like netflix to deal with. The WWE network has a library that boasts more video programming hours than the number of moves on Chris Jericho's list of 1004 holds! Why are you complaining about it? 

Example 4 - NXT arRival. The NXT shows are some of the best WWE programs at the moment. They focus more on wrestling instead of entertainment via storyline which is great for those who like that kind of thing. Its also a great way for those of you who wish to learn about possible main roster talents before they hit our screens on Raw or Smackdown. The talent is great. The divas down in NXT are far better than those in the main rosters. 

The fact is wwe is picking up its business again because its coming up to mania season. The main question is; How long do they keep it up for? I think the only resonable thing to do is enjoy it while we can and show WWE how much we enjoy the great work that they have done this week in the hope they continue it.

Gunning On A New Level - Elimination Chamber Predictions

About this post

On this blog we are doing things slightly differently. Once a month myself and @LoveLostGunfire will be providing you our predictions for the monthly PPV. This month its the elimination chamber. In the words of the late, great Heath Ledger, "Here....We....Go"

The Kick Off - The Rhodes Dynasty vs Rybaxel

LLG - " Rhodes Brothers vs Rybaxel: Rhodes, because they are more important right now. Doesn't make much sense to have Rybaxel win...Self-explanatory, unfortunately"

L - "Yeah I have to say I agree. Unless they are actually planning on having Cody vs Goldust at Mania then the win goes to them. Seems a pointless match really. If they wanted good views they should have had the last chamber space up for grabs in a pre-show battle royal."

The Undercard

Darren Young vs Titus O'Neil






LLG - "Darren Young vs Titus O'Neil: Titus O'Neil, because he had his damn pants torn off. It seems like timing would be good, and it would be more ammo for Titus and his barking, if Darren could fail when it matters most. Also, because Titus has been one-upped recently, so he's kind of due for a win (at EC)"

L - "Im torn on this. I think Titus gets the win because we have seen him lose out on the little things recently. They could have Young win for the obvious "babyface gets the better of the jack ass partner" tale but Im pretty sure they wont."


The New Age Outlaws vs The Usos for the Tag Team Titles



LLG - "Usos, because they'll need to win Tag Team gold (errr...bronze) in order for, you guessed it, Rhodes Brothers to win it back. That's my thought, anyway, because I'm sure Rhodes will win over Rybaxel, and using that "high", they'll challenge Usos once Usos win the Tag Team belts. New Age Outlaws SHOULD NOT be allowed to have a long title reign, it just wouldn't be good for the other talent, like, what does that even say?"

L - "Im gonna disagree and say The Outlaws win in most likely a questionable fashion. The Usos have it all. They have the look, the speed, the moves and charisma but they haven't unlocked the full potential yet. I think that The Outlaws win and we end up with a 4 way tag title match at Mania with The Usos or The Rhodes Dynasty winning. The Usos deserve it but I dont think the WWE will pull the trigger just yet."

Big E vs Jack Swagger for the IC title




LLG - "Big E SHOULD retain in order to keep himself rising higher, and higher. I don't see how it would make sense to have Swagger win it, though there's nothing stopping Swagger from putting up one heck of a fight and looking good. He can look strong, despite losing, and Big E can retain. Win/win!"
L - "Id love Big E to retain. It adds to the title. It adds to Big E. I think Swagger puts up a huge fight and Zeb eventually costs Swagger. Id love to see Swagger win and then he can make fun of Cesaro on Raw saying that he won his match etc. This could lead to a split and face turn for Cesaro. They could go one on one at Mania for the title."


Batista vs Del Rio




LLG - "....Shut up. Obviously Batista will win because he needs "building" right now, considering his return was a massive fail of epic proportions. UGH."
L - "yeh Im not answering this. We all know the winner. Del Rio is cannon fodder. They could have made it interesting and made it a Last Man Standing match or even a No DQ but nope. If you think Batista loses his first one on one fight since his return you need to go and talk to Russo about booking"


The Shield vs The Wyatts



LLG - "The Wyatt Family literally needs to win this one so that Bray can come out looking even stronger. Right now, as much as I "hate" to say it, it's about Bray. So, what will most likely happen is Ambrose will try to screw with Roman, or they'll have another one of their now famous "communication" problems. If they argue, or if Dean tries something, Seth will be there to try and keep "Mommy and Daddy" together like the sad little kid in the middle that he is. Someone, most likely Seth (though, it might be Ambrose) will end up getting Sister Abigail-ed..and yeah. Bray wins it for the Wyatts and walks away looking awesome. Only reason it "pains" me to say this is because I am not exactly looking forward to the Shield split :("

L - "I have to say again I agree. Though I think Bray will obviously get the pin I think he will pin Reigns. I have a feeling we could see Ambrose and Rollins walk out on Reigns leaving him on his own. Reigns will take out Harper and Rowan so that he is booked to look strong and over come the force but in the end Bray will catch him off guard and finish with Sister Abigail. Could you imagine if Reigns goes for a spear only to be caught by Sister Abigail?"


The main event - The elimination chamber for the WWEWHC




LLG - "Orton will win. Don't doubt this, I mean, they've had him looking weak and pansy-ass for a few weeks now, so it's a given that the night of the Chamber match, he'll find a way to win. It won't be a "solid" win or "clean", so I'm warning you now. It'll probably be another "he didn't even do anything" kind of win. But, yeah. He'll win it because that's what WWE is vying for these days; though, don't feel too bad about it. I don't see Bryan looking bad, despite his "injury"."

L - "Orton or Bryan win. No arguing on that. I could see the final three coming down to Bryan, Cesaro and Orton. Cesaro has been pushed strong and hard these last three weeks. If they plan on making him look strong and want him to leave a mark do it now. I feel Bryan will probably be cost the win by an Kane. Cena will be distracted by The Wyatts in some way or other. Christian (if he is still in the match) will be the first to be eliminated.


So there we have it. What do you think and who do you predict will win each match? Let us know your thoughts on twitter at - @LoveLostGunfire and @LevellerLOW

The Yes Movement

YES MILITIA

This t-shirt. This image. Looks a lot like this;

Now let me just clear this up. WWE SHOULD DO WHAT I SAY IN THE FOLLOWING BLOG. I don't often blow my own horn but im sure this would make a crap ton of money. 

First off I don't think Daniel Bryan should win the title at Wrestlemania. In fact I don't think Daniel Bryan should be champion until Wrestlemania 31. I know a lot of people will argue with that fact but hear me out. When Austin became "over" it took a good year before he became champ. Austin was over at KOTR 1996 and they didn't put the major push on him until WM13. Think about that. Daniel Bryan in my opinion is much better chasing the title. Keep him chasing it. He is the perfect underdog. 

Daniel Bryan should be one hundred percent get screwed out of the title at mania. For me it's just obvious. If he wins yes he gets a moment but then what do they do with him? I think they can make Daniel Bryan the most over edgy character they have had in the last decade and the two images above add to this. 

Che ran a movement. A rebellious group. A group fighting for what they wanted. Give this to Bryan. Plain and simple. Have the Yes Movement become a group. Have them fight the machine. Imagine if you will Bryan gets taken out at Mania and he gets shelved for one month. Literally a month nothing more nothing less. A month after Mania have HHH out in the ring as he does but then have the tron cut to a message. A video play like a propaganda message. Have no one have any idea who it was. Let this continue for a few weeks and then have a message arrive on the tron. Its outside somewhere. The camera pans round and a man stands with a Che style hat and a bandana covering his face. He removes them. Its Bryan. Daniel Bryan is on camera. No words needed. Crowd goes nuts. Daniel smiles and the camera pans to the right where they show the WWE Stamford building. Where a group of men are Spraying YES all down the building.
The YES Movement could even be used on the network. Imagine you are watching your favourite ppv and all of a sudden the screen shows static and the word YES leaks through for a few seconds and then disappears. 

This idea comes with easy merchandise possibilities. Imagine the badges, Tshirts. Cups, Head bands. Bandanas. The story could even involve Vince. Maybe Vince gave Bryan the funds to help build his yes movement. Its simple and can work for a full year if done correctly. Imagine at WM31 Bryans entrance with a hundred Militia guys in YES Movement gear as he leads them to the ring.

Just one mans ideas.

Booking On A New Level - The Next Big Heel Turn

Heel turns. Heels turns are what we all cry for when a character gets stale. But often this isn't the best time for a heel turn. I mean look at one of the greatest turns of all times. Hollywood Hogan. The guy was the most popular wrestler of all time. There is no arguing that. Hogan was the figure head of the golden era and then he turned his back on the Hulkamaniacs. Personally I am of the belief that this heel turn worked because he was so popular. If you want someone booed then the best way to do so, in my opinion, is to turn them at the peak of their popularity. Instantly the fan base that they have built turns on them. So using D-Bry for instance, he could have the whole Yes Movement turn on him. So with this in mind I am going to do the standard fantasy booking. THE CENA HEEL TURN. Please bare in mind this is just opinion. 

The premise

Its the raw before WM30 and Cena explains that he finds it strange that he isn't in the main event but its ok because he knows what he has to do and he has to take the Family down. Wrestlemania 30 comes along and Cena fights Bray and he loses.  Cena has lost his match against Bray Wyatt and we see all the replays of the devastated Cena as he heads to the back. Matches go on and later in the night we see Cena talking to someone on the phone and backing his suitcase to leave. 

The night goes on and we get to the main event. (Daniel Bryan has been put into the main event after being screwed by Kane at Elimination Chamber. He is given an opportunity to get into the main event at WM. If he beats Kane he can face Orton and Batista for the WWEWHC. D-Bry wins the match and the crowd goes wild.) Its a huge night and obviously the big fight feel is in most of the matches. 

Daniel Bryan makes his entrance and the audience explodes with YES chants. The whole arena is basically on their feet chanting and then Batista enters to the mixed reactions and of course Orton enters to boo's. The match goes on and there are some big spots and a lot of close calls. The match runs 25 mins and Batista has Orton lined up for a spear. Orton moves and the ref takes the full blow. Orton climbs out the ring and grabs a chair. Batista gets up and gets nailed with the chair. Cena runs out from the back with a ref and takes the chair off Orton. He gets in his face yelling at him telling him that "this isnt how its meant to be. This isnt how you be a champion" Bryan gets up and goes to hit Orton with the running knee but Cena nails Bryan with a huge chair shot mid air. Cena stands and smiles at Orton who just smiles back. The ref calls for the DQ and Bryan lies on the floor. Batista gets up and stares at Orton and Cena and grabs the both hugging and laughing. Out walks the authority who get in the ring and hold up Cena's, Orton's and Batista's hands as the show closes out.

This gets Cena over as the mega heel. We cement the heel faction. Batista gets a heel turn (he may as well cause he gets booed far too much) and Orton remains the WWEWHC.  So now you have THE face of the company, the "face" of the company and the animal. This leads to an idea that I believe should happen and if it doesn't wwe have missed on a huge merchandise idea that I will explain in the next blog.

So what do you think? I WANT TO CLEAR THIS UP NOW. THE CHANCE OF CENA EVER TURNING HEEL ARE ABOUT 10000 TO 1 AND I AM COMPLETELY AWARE OF THIS.

Booking On New Level - The Last Ride Of The Deadman

The Premise

The rumour mill popped out a nice little fact this week. Undertaker will return on the day of The Network release. The night after Elimination Chamber. This is due to his Wrestlemania match being a lock now. People have been speculating for months who Undertaker would fight and I believe it will be and should be Brock Lesnar. Lesnar is a beast and we all know that. The WWE have built him up to be this beast and it plays in his favour. We all know that Undertaker and Brock have history. We all know the great matches they had and we know at one point they had issues outside of the WWE. So I claim this year Taker should face Brock and then next  year he should face Cena or Sting and then retire. 

Undertaker has beaten them all. The best of the best but he has never beaten a legit monster. 

So how would I book it

The Undertaker returns at RAW. He comes out to the usual smoke and lighting with his hood up. It becomes clear though that Undertaker is banged up and something isn't right. Taker gets into the ring and explains that he has beaten the best of the best and he has conquered all there is to do in WWE and now it is time for The Deadman to take his Last Ride of into the sunset. Undertaker tells everyone that he will induct Paul Bearer into the HOF ceremony and then he will leave the WWE for good. Just as the Undertaker goes to leave the ring Paul Heyman struts out on to the stage and tells Taker he hasn't conquered everything, that he hasn't beaten the best of the best and that the deadman has never tamed the beast. At this Paul Heyman will play a video showing how many times Brock beat Taker and how bloodied he left him. The video plays and we see Taker get aggravated. Out of know where Brock comes out and hits Taker with an F-5. Brock stands over the top of him screaming that he will always be better than him. 

Friday night smackdown comes around and Brock and Heyman come out and discuss how they have desecrated Undertakers legacy and made sure that the fans know he will never get the better of the beast incarnate. The lights go out  and the lightening strikes the ring posts and Brock doesn't flinch a muscle. He gets on the mic and says "Taker, your games don't scare me. Your "powers" are just cheap parlour tricks and I will never be intimidated by you." The show closes and we move on to Raw. On Raw we see clips throughout the night of what we think is taker walking around. Later on Brock comes to the ring mocking Undertaker as he is dressed like him and walking with a stick. Heyman comes out dressed as Paul Bearer again and goes on saying that  Kane was always the better brother and look what he achieved. Paul and Lesnar begin to belittle Taker again and they continue to run down Taker even more by bringing out an old woman dressed up like Michelle McCool. Brock F-5s her after they make fun of her and tell Taker that he better stay home and look after his woman because he would only get hurt if he came back. 

A week passes and we see Brock come to the ring but he is interrupted by Shawn Michaels who warns him not to piss the Deadman off. He's been there and done that and it didn't end well. Brock tells him he doesn't care what he thinks and that he is just jealous because he couldn't beat Taker but he knows Brock can. Shawn tells Brock that he needs to learn respect and that if anyone can teach him its gonna be Taker. Smackdown comes around again and this time we see a video taken where Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar go to Undertakers house while he is out and threaten Michelle McCool. "If Taker isn't at Raw next week, we come back and we burn the house to the ground with you in it." Brock and Heyman leave and we see Brock pouring petrol on Takers bikes. He sets them a light and Paul Heyman begins to pose like Taker, down on one knee in front of them as they burn. 

Raw comes around and we see Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman arrive at the arena and they come to the ring saying that Taker isn't half the man he used to be or he would have tried to attack Brock by now. Brock tells everyone that Taker is afraid and that he is pretty sure "michelle" pissed her pants when he was in her face because she had never met a real man. This goes on for five minutes or so and eventually Brock tells everyone that Taker has had his last days in WWE and enough is enough. Brock gives an open challenge one last time. "Taker. You. Me. Mania. You have six days to answer the challenge or I'll be seeing Michelle....." Before Brock finishes the gong hits and the lights go out. The arena hears a bike rev. It gets louder and louder until Taker eventually enters the arena. Chain wrapped round his chest. Taker gets on the mic at the top of the ramp. "Brock, since day one you have been nothing but a jock. Nothing but a cry baby and now its time you learnt why they tell you to respect your peers and it made me see. It made me see I can't leave. I can't quit. Not while assholes like you think you can do whatever you want. So at Wrestlemania its not gonna be any match. Its gonna be a fight. Its going to be a full on war. I accept your challenge but we do it my rules. Last Man Standing. If you win I leave forever. And let it be known Deadman Inc is back in business" Brock accepts and runs up the ramp at Taker. Taker gets off the bike and wraps the chain round his fist and levels Brock and they begin to brawl as the show closes. 

Taker gives his HOF induction speech for Paul Bearer and they show a video highlighting his career. The video finishes but the screen doesn't turn off. The black screen pans to Brock standing with Michelle McCool out in the parking lot. Brock grabs her and "snaps" her arm. She falls to the floor and he gets down next to her and tells Taker he made a mistake hitting him with the chain because he awakened a part of him he hadn't seen in so long. 

So there you have it. That is how I would ideally book this years Taker appearance. Its different but sticks to the new realistic wwe feel. I realise they would never use the HOF ceremony to tell a story but I feel it could work. Its just opinion.

So what do you think? Let me know on twitter at - @levellerlow

Eliminating The Obvious

This months WWE PPV is Elimination Chamber and unless you have been living under a rock the most exciting match is clearly The Wyatts vs The Shield. This match has such potential. But there is one painfully obvious fact that hasn't really been mentioned much.

WHY HAVEN'T THE WWE DECIDED TO PUT THIS MATCH IN THE CHAMBER?

Quick History Lesson

Dusty Rhodes came up with the concept of the WAR GAMES match after seeing his then girlfriend in the movie Beyond The Thunderdome. The War Games match first took place in 1987 but didn't show in WCW until 1991. This match quickly became used as a speciality match for the four horsemen. Why am I telling you this? Because I feel WWE should be using this concept in this months Elimination Chamber PPV.

Just Imagine

Im really insitant that the WWE should do this match in the chamber in WAR GAMES rules. The possibilities that could come out of this pairing are amazing. Imagine both teams placed inside the chamber and only releasing one participant at a time at "random." They could even do it where they just put both teams in the chamber to prevent them from leaving without one team emerging victorious. Both teams have actually mentioned Games in promos and if memory serves me right Bray also mentioned War several times. It just seems that this situation is far too perfect for the WWE to miss out on which of course means they undoubtedly will. They could have a lot of big moments and really help to show how sadistic The Family can be. Imagine if you will, Seth Rollins and Luke Harper starting off only for Seth to get locked in a pod with Eric Rowan when he is entered into the match. Harper could stand at the door watching, smiling as Rowan pummels Rollins in the corner. Things like this would help to develop characters as well as bring us some great moments. Who doesn't want to see Reigns spear someone either through a pod or through the cage door?

Another situation we should look at is the Shield split. 

A Splintered Shield

Over the last few weeks we have began to see fractures in The Shield. First they disagreed with the possibilities of eliminating each other in the rumble. Then we had Dean Ambrose actually try to eliminate Reigns from the rumble. No doubt just delivering on his promise. This caused Reigns to retaliate later on when he eliminates both Rollins and Ambrose. And of course on the last few RAW's and Smackdowns's we have seen Ambrose give himself the quick tag in so that he can get the pin. 

So will we see the Shield split in the chamber? Yeah, I think we do. Id love for Ambrose and Rollins just to walk out on Reigns and leave him to take on all three members of The Wyatt family. Obviously he would look strong if he eliminates any of The Wyatts on his own. 

Personally I want to see The Shield split and then have a triple threat match for the US title at Wrestlemania 30. I think at this match Reigns would win after a good 20 minutes match. This would set all three men off on their singles careers which no doubt would intertwine with each other.

The match at Elimination Chamber will more than likely steal the show and this should be no surprise as we have all seen both teams develop over the last 6 months. While the WWE might not put them in the chamber I would hope that they at least add some kind of stipulation to the match. Maybe even a No DQ match.

The results

I think that if the rumours are true and that the WWE plan to have Wyatt vs Cena at Mania, then we are going to see Bray Wyatt win and then attack Cena later on in the night or at least cause a distraction and allow him to be pinned. This would allow Bray to look as strong as possible before he is booked into face "the face" of the company. No I don't mean Bryan. Bray will win this match and then begin a programme with Cena and The Shield will continue to feud. 

So what do you think? Do The Wyatts continue to follow the buzzards or do we all believe in the Shield? Let me know your thought son twitter at  @LevellerLOW

Let The Music Play

For those of you who don't know me outside of the world of wrestling I am a vocalist and a musician and one of the things that first attracted me to wrestling was the theatrical nature of it all. What could be better than two guys fighting to music? The pyro blowing up as you walk to the ring. The fans screaming your music back at you as you enter the ring.
There have been some amazing theme songs in the wrestling world and in this article I want to highlight some of my favourites and explain as to why a good theme song is crucial to your character. So lets start of with everyone's favourite;

Why is a good theme song important?

In the simplest form I can - YOUR THEME SONG IS YOUR CHARACTER BUT IN MUSIC. Your theme song should define who you are in and out of the ring. Theme music is so damn important because it is the first indication that the wrestling crowd has any sign that it is you who is arriving. You should be able to move in time to your music and let the beat flow through you as you enter the arena. The crowd should get your theme. They should understand within the first 30 seconds what type of wrestler you are by your theme music. Look at Undertaker's theme for example - its dark, its broody, its mystifying. This is everything Undertaker is.
There have been some amazing theme songs in wrestling and some really bad ones and there have been some guys who just can't get a definitive theme song ( Im looking at you Barrett.) 

What makes a great theme

Using Cena's first theme, "Word Life" as an example; The song was exactly what Cena was meant to be. It was brash, it was hip hop, it was edgy and it was cool. This was everything that WWE wanted to you to see Cena as. His attitude when he walked out made you instantly hate him. He was a white rapper who wanted to fight. Everyone's first thought should have been "douchebag". I mean the guy even got to sing his own theme. How many wrestlers get to do that? Its egotistical. He got to sing about how dangerous he was. That is why his theme worked for him as a heel. 

Another reason themes works is because they can add to your character or re-enforce specific points that you want to make about your character. James Storm for example;

James Storm - The beer drinking, red neck cowboy. What could possibly make you remember him? Oh Yeh! HIS DRINKING! So how do they make you remember that he likes to drink? They put it in his theme song "Long necks and Red necks." This again adds to his character development because people associate the song with the wrestler. Hell he even got to appear in the music video for the song when it was released. 

So who has had great themes?

There are a lot of guys who have had good theme songs. HHH has "The Game" by Motorhead and it sums his character up pretty well. He was nicknamed The Game so WWE hired Motorhead to perform his theme song. The song is angry, powerful and commanding. Everything that HHH is meant to be. 

AJ Styles uses the theme song, "Who's Ready To Fly". This song emphasized the fact that he was a high flyer. He helped to revolutionise the X-Division in TNA and that song reminds people of what he did. It also has a fast pacing driving movement behind it so it gets fans pumped up. 

Hulk Hogan has possibly the most iconic theme of them all. The Real American personified by Hogan himself. Hogan was the american pop culture icon of the 80s. Wrestling was huge and so was Hogan. That's all there is too it. My list could go on forever (if you want the rest get me on twitter)

honourable mentions go to Kane, Austin, Mankind and Big Show.

There of course has been bad themes such as Great Khali's as it seems almost too friendly for someone who is 7 foot 3 inches tall. Zack Ryder's music sounding like it came from a power rangers episode from 1992. Mark Henry's Sexual Chocolate theme that sounded more like a bad advert than sensual porno. 

Let me hear who you think has the best and worst themes at Twitter @LevellerLOW

The Future

With Wrestlemania just over the horizon I want to hit on a point that I feel has been ignored for quite some time. I want to look at future stars. With the CM Punk situation and current stars like John Cena getting older one has to question at what point they pull the trigger on the next generation of guys. In this article we will look at those men and women who I believe will bring us in to a new generation. 

Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler is one of those guys who I feel is very under used. He is so talented in very many ways. He has the look and the attitude that can get him over in two ways. The cocky heel or the never say die face. Dolph cut a promo backstage this week on smackdown. I believe the promo was only show on the app but believe me if he can cut promos like that on tv then there is no reason they can't push him to be a serious contender.

Kofi Kingston

I like Kofi a lot but I think given the time he could be a great heel. Kofi has that vibe around him that he could be a main event guy had they let him go and just do his thing but they chose to leave him in the mid card for years. Kofi has a fire in him that we see every once in a while and it just blows me away. His attitude on tour is always great and he does some really good promos when they give him a mic. 

The Shield

All three guys are going to be bright in the future. Ambrose could be the top heel in the company in my opinion, Rollins will be a great solid mid-carder ( I want to put him higher but I see him having the early Jeff Hardy role) and of course Reigns will be the star. The group as a whole should all have slow builds, I really believe that if WWE can do it right they can be this generations great feuds. 

Damien Sandow

Two years ago Sandow was being beaten down by DX, two months ago he was challenging John Cena for the WHC and now he is obscure again. Sandow is gold with everything he does but he is so misused. I believe that Sandow could do with having a face role for a while. Maybe he sees the error of his ways for a while before slowly turning heels again later in the year. Sandow always manages to gain heat when he is on the mic and shows just how eloquent he can be with his english. 

The Wyatts

With WWE's ever loving need to have the product more realistic the Wyatts have gave a strong first impression. Everything that Bray says is chilling, he sounds like he believes everything he says. I dont understand how they plan to keep the family together for so long but one thing is for sure. They need to keep the focus on Bray. Bray can be this generations supernatural character. A strange Mankind type character. Luke Harper is also beginning to show himself and its a good character for him. 

All of the above talents have the ability (in my opinion) to carry the company but they all still need improvement. Reigns should easily take Cena's spot and carry the company. He has the pedigree, the look and the size. If WWE do his push wrong it could kill him off as a character. As long as they take it slowly he should be brilliant. Ideally I think they should have Ambrose win the MITB match and then cash in just after Reigns wins his first title. 

So what do you think? Who will hold the future of the WWE on their shoulders? Let me know at;
