Who will have a decent career in WWE?

[The Possum]

I left out people like Chavo, Regal, and Matt Hardy who's careers are winding down.

By a "decent career," I don't mean exclusively getting WWE title run, I just mean who will have at least successful run, maybe winning the IC Title and getting a solid mid-upper midcard push.

I think MVP, Zack Ryder, and Dolph have a chance.

[Matt Dunn]

Out of these? Ziggler and MVP. As long as Ziggler keeps the Sleeper as his finish, he should be fine. And MVP has the skills and the following to make it back up to at least another US or an IC run.

[Arturo Classico]

I'd probably Say Evan Bourne since out of anyone on the list has the most chance to be high up on the card and the only dude I see as a replacement for Mysterio.

Ziggler seems back which is awesome.

[Big L]

Slam Master J & Carlito

[Tapout]

Only ones on this poll I voted for were Bourne and Ziggler.

Ziggler is still relatively young and talented, and if he keeps his nose clean, he has potential.

Bourne is clearly an important part of the WWE roster as a JTTS and MITB guy. If he keeps his nose clean and stays healthy, he could be Mysterio's successor.

The guy missing on this poll is Morrison, who I also still hold out hope for. Though unfortunately, it's looking like the best that HE can hope for is also Mysterio's spot as a kid-friendly spot monkey.

MVP will get drafted to Smackdown and will be stuck in a feud with Swagger over the belt. I'm saying it now.

[Alex Shelley]

I voted for Ziggler and Bourne.

Ziggler is obviously going somewhere, and Bourne's been winning matches lately - and he's still very young.

Those are the only two that I'm VERY sure are going to get out of this mess. Some other guys have a chance, but if Ziggler and Bourne don't go somewhere I'd be surprised.

I think MVP will be a main eventer at some point in the not too distant future.

I don't know. Still worried that racism is still rampant in the dub.

Eh I don't think it's racism it has more to do with his age and his heart problem.

It's a distinct possibility.

Shelton, Kofi, MVP, Mark Henry, ect ect have all gotten this sorta "push of the day" treatment that only goes so far, and then gets dropped.

Shad seems like the next guy to get this treatment. And look which NXT Rookies are getting the shaft!!!

Then you look at Sheamus and Jack Swagger, who went instantly from basicly nobodies to world champions. Or Punk who got a solid push from day one. Look at the difference between Punk and Elijah Burke for example. [Burke/Punk is a main event feud I'd like to see someday ]

Last black guy to pull off a world title win the WWE was King Booker, and he had been stopped from doing so a number of times before that. And before Booker... who?

[jamielowndes {N}]

I see big things for Mr Ziggles.

[KEJB]

I wish it was Mike Knox. Once he unleashed that beard, dude was next level.

If I never see another Elijah Burke/CM Punk match it will be too soon. Any quality of those matches has been severely overshadowed, at least to me, by the amazing botchiness of them.

I seriously do think racism is a huge problem in WWE. It's sad, but just looking at the history... It's hard not to see it.

[truwrestlingfan]

Give Ryder time and he will be HUGE

He's only what? 24?? Bright future ahead if you ask me

I don't think that's conclusive enough. The whole "let's give this guy a push for the next 23.6 seconds, and if he doesn't get over, send him back to midcard hell" has been happening since Cena became US champion...guys like a debuting Carlito and a newly solo Renee Dupree were proof of that. Popular opinion was that since Austin was retiring around that time that the company was starting to panic and would strap bottle rockets (not regular rockets, but those little-bitty bottle rockets) to a new guy's ass, and if he didn't immediately get over like gangbusters, they'd bump him right back down. Yeah, it happened to Henry and Kofi, but it also happened to Ziggler, Kennedy, and other guys.

I don't get why Shelton is being cited as an example of a black guy who's been treated poorly. He was given huge, huge opportunities and just never caught fire. As for MVP, while everyone pisses and moans about how berried he is now, back in 2008, I was pissing and moaning about how JBL was cramming him down my throat as the longest-reigning US champion ever. Seriously, when neither Edge, Undertaker, or "Big" Dave Batista was onscreen, MVP got ALL the TV time to the point that I was sick of him.

The stop-start on Kofi is a little baffling, but the guy's young yet and it's possible that he was deemed not ready due to lack of experience. In any case, Orton made him look like a real star.

Orton also made Henry look great, and I agree that killing Henry's push is a little harder to understand, but Mizark is no spring chicken and, not to be a huge dick here, but as a big huge guy with dreadlocks and Kool-Aid Man red ring gear, he's not the most marketable guy for a company that's trying to appeal to tweens and teens.

MVP & Yoshi.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

your poll fails in not listing matt hardy.

[Azrael from Outerspace]

Bourne, Yoshi, Ziggz and Ryder all have the potential to at least reach upper mid card.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

i can see ziggler as a future world champion, just like in the WCWWE, except as a heel in reality (if i'm correct, he's a face in WCWWE)
