Just in case nikkas forgot these young superstars from 2009
(from Left to Right)
  1. Harry Smith (Bulldog's son & tag partner to Tyson Kidd)
  2. Cody Rhodes
  3. Evan Bourne
  4. John Morrison
  5. Dolph Ziggler
  6. Jack Swagger
  7. Tyson Kidd
  8. Ted Dibiase
  9. Kofi Kingston
  10. The Miz
Only Dolph, Swagger, Kofi, & Miz have been WWE/World Champions since this.

look at that caption

"Mark our words-in the next few years, at least one of these young superstars wil emerge as a show-stealing main eventer. But who'll be the first to hit mega-Superstardom?"

:wow:

How yall think these cats panned out 10 years later?

Is this a better batch of main eventers over Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Braun, Sami, KO, McIntyre, etc

  1. Harry Smith (Bulldog's son & tag partner to Tyson Kidd) - Wrestled with a cold sore in MLW, never learned how to talk on the mic
  2. Cody Rhodes - Is basically head creative of AEW, will also be a main eventer in AEW. Had a 5 star match
  3. Evan Bourne - fukked up his career over weed twice in major companies (in WWE and NJPW)
  4. John Morrison - Been stuck in meh territory forever, changes his last name depending on where he wrestles
  5. Dolph Ziggler - Became a champion, is pro MAGA, has failed to reinvent himself for years
  6. Jack Swagger - Became a champion, one of the worst talkers ever, will probably be the face of Bellator's HW division in 2 years.
  7. Tyson Kidd - Nearly became paralyzed by Samoa Joe, now a WWE match producer
  8. Ted Dibiase - Sells insurance or something
  9. Kofi Kingston - Became one-third of one of the biggest tag teams of all time, won the title at Mania
  10. The Miz - Became a champion, headlined WM, returned to reality TV, destined to become a FS1/ESPN talking head

Kofi and Miz reached their potential. Cody is probably going to be the guy at some point in AEW, and he's in a position of power that very few people have been in. The rest, meh.

Harry Smith was excellent, big misuse of talent. AEW should sign him, especially since they have that big ITV deal now. John Morrison was really good, not sure what happened there, heard personal issues.

Harry Smith still pretty young..Damn dude was in the E when he was in his early 20s. He always looked like a CAW to me though.

Technically Cody and Morrison are world champions too just not in WWE.

Exactly..... there’s is some silly protection and overrating of WWF going in here with that “none of these guys have done shyt” comments

When a couple of these guys have done more than a lot of the guys on the current roster now. And current guys wouldn’t LOVE to be in their positions
