I hope so...I just don't know if todays wrestling will allow people to get as big as superstars did back in the 80s/90s because of the low ratings, lost fan base, horrible story lines, etc. If Kennedy was around in the attitude era he would have been HUUUUUUUGE, along with MVP.

I still think that if Austin or The Rock were charecters created right now while the IWC is hot, they would not have gotten NEARLY as over as they did... mostly because the IWC tends to crap on everything that isn't from the past or on the indy circuit -_-

I don't think we will see another Rock or Austin calibur wrestler because WWE tries to hard to recreate those kind of wrestlers like they did with cena. This kind of thing should come naturally and overtime, not shoved down our throats.

Honestly, if Kennedy can stay healthy, he's about the only stand-out star that has the potential of being of the Rock/Austin caliber. A few more may emerge in time, but he's the only one that really jumps out to me right now. I just wish that they weren't so obsessed with making Kennedy a straight-up heel . . . . he has the potential to be a tweener (ala Austin) or smart@$$ed face like Rock always was. |

John Cena isn't on Hogan, Rock, or Austin's level... these guys were on top when pro-wrestling was on top. Last time I checked, WWE was planning a major overhaul because of the state the company is in right now, and TNA isn't much better. I will still hate to say this but it's probably true... Cena is somewhere around where Bret Hart is in terms of name-value. Both guys were on top when pro-wrestling struggled. The only difference is Bret Hart worked for that name-value, while John Cena had his handed to him on a silver platter.
On the current roster... the only guy I see that could reach an Austin or Rock is CM Punk. He has a strong connection with the audience, he's young, he's a great wrestler, and he has a real-life gimmick like Austin and Rock did. With the WWE hype-machine to give him an extra boost, CM Punk could easily reach Undertaker, HBK, Triple H name value.

Why has no one mentioned HHH? I think he's up there along with Taker and HBK.
Edge, getting there in my opinion.
Cena, same as Edge.

Yes, I believe Cena is in their league. He is as big as they were back then.

Well, Orton is a third generation superstar much like The Rock, and like Rock, Randy comes from a family of wrestlers.
