Okay. But did anyone see either Rocker becoming a huge star back when they first started? Really, no one expected Shawn to go much further than mid card because of his size. It's actually sad when the business has changed so much that an HBK story is no longer possible. whether you believe me or not, I, as a young mark, knew instantly that Michaels could be huge one day, and he was always my favourite from the Rockers. And after the heel turn, he instantly became my favourite wrestler, period. Well of course, that was the turning point that created the Rockers relative scale of success. But say, before the WWF, whodathunkit? EDIT: Also, no one's made a case for London yet but the votes are even.

I agree with the person who said they'll end up more like Matt & Jeff Hardy. They'll both be successful midcarders, and perhaps move on to the main event in time.

I think they both are more likely to be Jannettys. I can't see either being a Michaels, not even the one who was trained by Michaels (Kendrick).

I could more easily see Kendrick be the hot singles wrestler. He could do the cocky, conceited heel, much like HBK. He can even use his connection to Michaels to further his own run, trying to emulate his former mentor in every way, including turning on his partner. Even have Melina come out with him holding a mirror.

When they first started out you could tell London was the main man of the team but since they've moved to RAW & London may have heat with McMahon it seems Kendrick is now the main guy. He's picked up most of their wins on RAW plus he's in with HBK & they probably now he has more charisma & character for a singles push. EDIT- I doubt either of them will end up like Jannetty. Probably more like Edge & Christian & the Hardys where both have done well by themselves. The E&C in the comparison I find most apt, moreso than the Rockers one but I like to play with hype perpetuated by the E. I'm actually suprised they had London and Kendrick win this one.

Yeah honestly, "the Jannetty" is a bit of a misnomer when you think about it. WWE wanted to push Marty, he didn't want the HBK gimmick, they still pushed him hard anyway, he got too drugged up to be employed.
I doubt either of these guys will be either a drugged up mess that gets fired, or given serious singles pushes.
Only other examples that resemble that are The Hardys and MNM. Though Mercury got to the "fired for being a druggie" part before ever getting any kind of singles push, and Jeff may still end up getting a huge push sometime cause he's not quite as Jannetty as Jannetty was. Though so far he's managed to Jannetty all his big pushes...

Kendrick wasn't too bad on the mic when he had those feuds with Lesnar and Cena on Smackdown a couple of years ago. I think he's more charismatic than London, but they're both equally good wrestlers. I see them both sticking around but Kendrick looks more of a star to me.

Well, we know London can't be the new HBK because he could never lose his smile.

He went to the Funkin' Conservatory first and THEN sort of made a trip to all schools in Texas. But Spanky actually trained in the TWA under Rudy Gonzales as a "full time" student, it was his first school.

If a one year tag reign wasn't a bigger sign as a put over ever then they go back in time and put Londrick over a classic team.
