Four WWE wrestlers who could have a huge 2016
The Lunatic Fringe needs a solid 2016There are times when wrestlers don’t make the cut or are buried like burning trash. WWE has a habit of taking a chance of characters, and if does not work out, then the company moves on to other talents. It’s a pecking order of sorts. But it wasn’t always that way.In most cases back in a Hulk Hogan-led WWF, characters rose to the top of the food chain, got in the ring with Hogan or whoever held the belt. If they lost, they were repackaged at some point and they went on to have solid, if not spectacular careers.If they won, well then they held onto the title long enough for Hogan to make a movie or take a short siesta, and then dropped the belt to a returning Hulkster. These days, titles mean little, so the focus is on performance and selling the product.These wrestlers are just heating up or need 2015 to end so they can try something new. Could they be top stars and headliners in the coming year? I hope so. There is too much talent on this list not to see them in a main event match.Here are four wrestlers who could have big years in 2016.
#1 Dean Ambrose
Seeing Dean Ambrose open Raw on Monday night and his vignette with Randy Orton gave me hope WWE will at some point finally get it right and make him a main event star.
It’s hard to take anyone with that type of character seriously, but Ambrose is the perfect balance to the stressfully rich story of Seth Rollins and Kane or the tension that needs to happen between John Cena and Dolph Ziggler.
We already know what Ambrose can do in a main event match, having taken Seth Rollins to the limit on many occasions. In my mind, that type of feud works so well in the company right now and should be a go-to scenario when John Cena leaves.
Could Ambrose ride a wave of momentum into the new year and somehow come away with the Royal Rumble win? You bet. The only question would be whether fans were rooting for him as a face or as a heel.
