Justin Gabriel

3 time tag champ and main eventer with nexus
this guy has a heck of a future either midcard or main event
his match with tyson was very good
and the crowd was with him all the time, I have to say more than wade and bryan :/

thoughts?

Needs to work on mic skills, but yeah a future mid-card champion. Other than Bryan and Barrett he was the only other guy in NXT season 1 that actually looked like they have a credible future.

I don't think Gabriel will be a main eventer. He does have the look, for sure. The lack of evident mic skills may hurt him, but it isn't really required for his purpose.

Gabriel WILL be a Main Eventer.
Bryan WILL be a Main Eventer.
Barrett WILL be a Main Eventer.
Slater will be NOTHING
Young will be NOTHING
Sheffield COULD be a Main Eventer. (We will see)
Tarver COULD of been SOMETHING.

They should keep him in a tag team. He's good at it and if he can improve on his mic skills while being one of the stars of the tag team division, it might be possible for him to follow the same road of evolution ( of wathever the word for it in English is ) as Christian ( perhaps like Edge, but Christian fitts him more I think ). This can also be very good for the tag team division, because most people are always complaining about the WWE putting stars together to make a tag team ( ex. Big Show and Kane ) and afterwards breaking it up again... By keeping Gabriel, a true tag team star, in a tag team, they avoid this problem and might bring the solution to that problem. Of Course, one tag team with Gabriel ( and Heath Slater or someone else ) and another with the current tag team champs are not enough, but it's a start I think...

Are you from the future?
Seriously though, gotta admire your certainty, if nothing else

who is in that gif?
seriously that booty has some hypnotic powers

on topic... I see both him and Bryan topping out as mid-card title holders, who maybe get 1 or 2 world title runs if they stay with WWE long enough... That just seems to be the way things go, I like Gabriel, but everyone someone likes doesn't need/deserve/whatever a world title... It comes down to believability, it is a lot harder to suspend my disbelief that someone who is about 100lbs below the average main event weight is the top of the heap. Its the same with Mysterio. I think Mysterio is one of the best things to ever happen to pro wrestling in america, but I cant find a conceivable way that he can legitimately pin someone like The big Show, or even someone as large as a John Cena or Shaemus cleanly.

We need the light-heavyweight, or cruiserweight title back, and soon!

My take

Gabriel - TOp babyface Mid-card/Low babyface top card
DBD - ME - Heel or face, preferably heel.
Wade - ME - Heel
Skip - ME Face
Tarver - Top mid-card heel
Slater - low mid-card heel
Young - low mid-card face.

Put Gabriel in the IC title hunt, as well as Tyson Kidd, and I'm sure they will have good matches with Cody Rhodes and maybe Ted
