I haven't seen much NXT but is Bray Wyatt some sort of Waylon Mercy type? Eh... sort of? More of a deranged backwater southern preachy type. Waylon Mercy was just a psycho that tried to be calm and creepy. They do share a similar look however. Asa for Leo Kruger, he originally had a similar look to Bobby Roode that people seemed to like. I'm digging his new Big Game Hunter shtick.

The list: {Spoiler}Kassius Ohno Leo Kruger Bo Dallas Paige Richie Steamboat “The Man Who Gravity Forgot” Adrian Neville Anya The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper & Erick Rowan) One of these things is not like the others. None of those guys could make The List, bro.

Bo Dallas was one of the most over people in FCW despite having no special qualities or characteristics to his name

Also, I wouldn't discount the heritage his family has from the old Championship Wrestling from Florida days. His family has always been over in that territory.

Pretty accurate list on WWE's part. It'll be interesting to see how they do in 2013. Kruger and Ohno could definitely be a useful part of the tag divison as sadistic, mercenary heels.
The Wyatt Family is defintely a heat machine, ready to go. A few vignettes to set it up, a mysterious appearances, and a face on a losing streak conversion later, and you easily have a top heel with a few gatekeepers.

Only half of these people will debut post-Mania. Besides I wouldn't put to much stock in that list. I remember years back they were touting Ron Waterman, Scott Vick, and Steve Bradley as top prospects.

Had this been a few months ago, The Ascension could have been on the list. {Spoiler}At least Conor's future looks better at the next set of tapings. Really though, while a WWE.com article is nice, it would be good if they could promote NXT on TV just a tiny bit more. Like...Big E Langston is NXT Champion, why not have him wearing the belt while being Ziggler and AJ's bodyguard? I bet the reason is it'd actually make the brand look weak. "Hey, there's Big E Langston, over on NXT he's the champion, but here in WWE he's nothing more than a bodyguard." They've mentioned he's from NXT and I think that's all the publicity/promoting they should do for the brand. It builds more interest simply knowing Big E came from there than to acknowledge he's champion there and isn't doing crap so far in WWE and bring that interest to a halt.

Anya? I thought that out of the divas who haven't appeared on the show yet, that the Nature Girl is supposed to be the best one

It builds more interest simply knowing Big E came from there than to acknowledge he's champion there and isn't doing crap so far in WWE and bring that interest to a halt. They could have Big E actually wrestling on the main brands to show case his power. * Big E starts by mowing over smaller guys like Justin Gabriel, Yoshi Tatsu, and Zack Ryder. * Big E goes up against Alex Riley, someone who is smaller than Big E (in terms of weight), but closer to his size than the previous opponents. Riley's for most of the match and he hits his usual spots to pop the crowd, avoiding Big E with his athleticism. Big E, however is basically booked like a "Heel Super Cena", and he "overcomes the odds" with pure strength, turning the tide simply with a clothesline and then hitting his finisher, winning the match with just two moves. * Big E then starts having hard hitting, even, but short matches against fellow super heavyweights like Mason Ryan. He handily defeats Ryan, and the commentators put him over for being able to beat a man of that size. * Big E then has a match against Ryback. He either fights Ryback to a no contest, or takes a countout loss to avoid being pinned or hurting Ryback's momentum more than it already has been.

Seriously, where is Corey Graves? I like to think he's been left off for when they debut him on Raw/Smackdown.
