WWE's Next Big Star is...

Blitzkrieg

Simple question. Who do you guys think will become the next big thing, if you will? The next big time main eventer in the company.

WWE has some guys with a lot of potential from Orton, Carlito, Shelton, Masters, maybe even Conway (without this gimmick). Then you even have a guy in TNA like AJ Styles, but I believe he just signed a long-term deal there.

So who do you think will breakout?

I think it will be Carlito. I just think he has the IT factor. He reminds me a lot of the Rock the way he does some of his promos and his comedic timing. I think a little more time on the mic, a little more time in the ring, and Carlito is going to be the next big thing in the near future.

I gotta agree with Dakstang. It's Carlito. I think he has all the tools to break out and be the backbone of the company in a few years time. (Although he still needs a finisher)

EDIT: Damn Right i am......

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

I think Carlito will be a break out star. I know most people believe this but I also have to add Christian since right now he is not a star and has been jobbing a lot for the last 6 months.

Visit and shop for video games at my Amazon-based store, also get discounted HD DVDs while they last.

I think Carlito will be the next break-out star character-wise. He has a lot of charisma, and that goes a long way

I think Shelton will be a star, but in more of the Chris Benoit mold. An amazing athlete who is lacking in mic skills/charisma

Tyler Durden

Next break out star will be Chris Masters. I can't stand him personally....but he's got everything Vince looks for and when he ultimately puts the IC belt on this guy he sure as hell won't be using him as a pawn/comedy fall guy for a Jericho-Cena World Title match.

I can see burchill pushed all the way and finally have a british wwe champion.

Carlito, masters all good possibilities along with christian one day.

I say Orton is already a star(in my opinion), so I will go with Calito hes the one WWE seem to be picking at the moment but more long term Shelton has it all

I through Orton in there because I think he has room to improve.

I think a guy like Cena is what he is. I mean, Cena could get a little better in the ring, but his whole style from here is going to be an Austin/Rock combination of brawling, so maybe he learns how to throw punches better? I don't know.

With Orton, he's only like 25 years old, his mic skills could get even better than they are already, and I think he'll improve in the ring because he'll be given a chance to wrestle like a Shawn Michaels, or somebody like that.

Now..as far as Next Big Star, I'll answer my own question. I think it's going to be Carlito. He'll be the cool heel for a while, and then he'll get enough catchphrases together to become a top face in the company, like a Rock type. Not saying he'll be as big as Rock, but you see what I'm saying.

I think Shelton needs a heel turn bad..and then we'll see a better side of his character to go along with his amazing in-ring ability.

I'm with you, Mick - I think that if Burchill makes his way to WWE, he'll be HUGE. Well, that is, if WWE allows him to do his crazy high-flying stuff that makes him so different from other big men. Brock who?

Carlito has potential, for sure - he's already held two titles in his first year in WWE, a large portion of which he was injured. He's got charisma, comedic timing, and a unique look. I'm still not sure if his ringwork is as solid as it could be, but then again, John Cena's no technical marvel and is doing just fine on top.

I don't dislike Chris Masters, either. WWE did the smart thing by making him more than just a knock-off of Lex Luger's Narcissist gimmick (like they did with Mark Jindrak). He's ****y and arrogant in an outspoken way, not in a "I can't wait to get back to my hotel room to stare at myself in the mirror" kind of way. They've done a good job of putting over the Masterlock submission, so I think that he could go far given some time and experience (hell, the kid's only 22!).

I think that Shelton Benjamin could have a successful run as a heel - they just need to give him some trash talk to back up his solid ringwork. But, if I had to bet, I wouldn't make him my top choice.

I think that if they were given good gimmicks, Rene Dupree and Rob Conway could each have a stab at the top, but they'd need some image overhaul bigtime.
