WWE new guys - Your thoughts?

Ted DiBiase Jr?
Cody Rhodes?
Nattie Neidhart?
Vladamir Koslov?
DH Smith?

Guys about to come up:
"Mr Perfect" Curt Hennig's son and daughter
Some guy related to Brett Hart


What do you guys think? (I know Im missing some) I hate to say this, because I know he wont go anywhere, but I like Vladamir Koslov. I like the act, the look, and the skill set the guy has. Id love to see this guy and Batista pound it out.

DH Smith bored the piss out of me before the suspension.

Of the entire group, DiBiase looks like he will stick the best.

To me, its too early to judge. The only one I have seen alot of if Rhodes, and I like what I see there. DH is paying for his stupidity right now, so you won't see him look good until Vince and co. feel he has paid his dues for the drug test failure.

As I stated in the other thread, I have heard rumors of a 2nd and 3rd generation squad forming, kind of a new type Evolution. All of these together would realy look good in that. Specially a Rhodes turn on his tag partner!

Yeah Ive heard thats coming as well, and DiBiase will be the leader of it.

Whether Rhodes should be there or not, I just dont know. He aint doing GREAT, but he's got a good niche right now with the whole rookie blue collar thing going.

Cody Rhodes sucks. Then again, a little of his father went a long way with me.

Haven't seen enough of Dibiase to know yet and I haven't seen Koslov and Neidhart at all.

What do you mean? I thought you liked Dusty.

Koslov was supposed to come up with Santino Marella, who in OVW was actually a Russian named Boris Alexiev (sp?), but they made him Marella when Koslov was not ready.

Koslov is a Russian man beast, but I dont know what they are going to do with him yet, and his skill set needs some work.

Neidhart is thick, sexy and muscular, more along the lines of Victoria, Mickie James, Trish Stratus, and Beth Phoenix. Shes got an impressive move set and looks to be light years ahead of her actual experience.

Both are currently assigned to the Smackdown brand, but Id expect Nattie to be drafted to RAW and thrown in a stable with DiBiase and Rhodes.

Dusty was okay but if you saw him once you saw him a thousand times. The same could be said of Hogan but at least Dusty was entertaining.

Hulk Hogan is/was the biggest pile of non-athletic hype in the history of sports entertainment. No moves, no holds, every match was exactly the same. Punch, leg drop, pose...repeat as necessary.

industry wide of course..not for him.

I think in the grand scheme of things doing Hogan Knows Best was probably the worst think he could have done legacy wise.

To be honest...I think the talent and some of the storylines have been crappy as of late. I am not all that happy with the talent, personas or even the shows lately. I haven't been driven to see a PPV for like the last five years. I think they should drop the ECW brand because it's not at all like it supposed to be and it's not great to watch. Thye need some kind of draw and they don't have that anymore. I'll tune in and leave it on my side by side on occasion waiting for the Divas to wrestle because I just want to watch them now. Actually...I watched when Y2J came back...but even that got dry because he's not as electrifying as before. Get rid of Shawn Michaels, Triple H, the Vicki Guerrero as GM thing is lame ass! John Cena is not fun to watch anymore. I think Undertaker leaving was good and good timing...actually maybe could have left a little sooner. I haven;t had a chance to really watch the new talent. I hope they generate interest again because I watch other stuff now in that time slot.

Ted DiBiase Jr- Reminds me of Orton when he first showed up. Has the potential to be a mian eventer.
Cody Rhodes- Again, great potential and will probably get a Jeff hardy style main event push. has the ability to become an upper midcard guy and a constant challenger for the IC title.
Nattie Neidhart-Probably the best female wrestler they have. But WWE's use of Diva's will really hold her back.
Vladamir Koslov- Late starter. Very talented wrestler but is has to learn to sell his matches. Think Snitsky.
DH Smith- Good wrestler but lacks the "it" quality. He will probably get numerous IC title runs and some tag titles. In the end, a good partner could really solidify him as a great tag team wrestler like his father was.

Curt Hennig's son is an extremely talented wrestler. The question will be whether or not he has the charisma to match.

With all of the second and third generation superstars, could we see the beginning of a Legend killer stable headed by the top multi generational wrestler, Orton himself?

I totally agree here, but thinking long picture, what a great way to keep him in the lime light, and on screen while he is injured. Have him suddenly appear as the manager and leader....it would be great. Start for a few weeks with DiBiase acting the leader..and warning of the future...then boom, at SS or some other PPV...out pops Orton. It would be a great pusher of the group.
