These guys were all members of the first graduating class of Ohio Valley Wrestling, and they all began showing up on WWE television at some point in 2002. I didn't want to include the later group of graduates, which included Doug Basham, Damaja, Rob Conway and Nick Dinsmore. We can discuss them later. For me, I have to go with Benjamin, because he's the best wrestler of the above, and he's not totally annoying. Second, by default, would be Lesnar. And for those of you who aren't aware, the two were a tag team in OVW called the Minnesota Stretching Crew.

I voted for Rico... if he'd have been a little younger, and been properly booked, he could've been huge.

Rico. All the talent, just that the age was a factor (sadly).
That, and in OVW, he looked like Rick Martel's twin brother straight outta Strike Force (with even the mullet....YAY!).

Haas...even though Lesnar would be a good vote, but Haas has more goals in pro wrestling than what Lesnar wants.

Actually, I don't think John Cena came out of OVW...

He might have been in OVW but he cut his teeth at UPW while they were still a feeder sytsem for WWE (like SMW).
I went with Shelton as my favorite with Batista (aka Leviathan) as my second and Brock as my third.....

Brock, no doubt. There's never been a guy his size who could wrestle like him... well, no other white guy *cough Lashley cough*.

Jamal would've been better if they'd do something with him... wherever he is?

I voted for Lesner, but I really wish that Rico could have been given more chances. I almost voted for him.

In my opinion based on pure athleticism, Shelton Benjamin is the clear cut winner.
Brock has the size that the WWE loves, but of course his head is not on straight.
Orton has the look, but I am not so sure about his desire (may end up in Hollywood like the Rock)
Cena has a gimmick that is definately over, but for how long?
Haas is a long term tag team wrestler, not a singles guy.
Rico should have gotten over, but was used as a manager/valet instead of wrestler for way to long.
Rosey/Jamal - if Jamal hadn't left/been fired, they could have been a killer tag team. As a SHIT Rosey has been funny, but not used correctly.

I think Orton has the best long-term future out of the lot.

Dang, I totally forgot about Batista when I wrote this. I totally knew he was there at the time too, playing Leviathan and hanging out with Mordecai and Tyson Tomko. Sorry about that, folks.
