(no this is not a Cody Rhodes Diva thread)
In the January 2010 issue of the WWE Magazine, there was a spread with "Tomorrow's Champions", featuring 10 Superstars that were deemed as "the future" of WWE back then. (at least kayfabe wise in the Magazine)
Now, i know this list came up a couple years ago on here somewhere but I figured it could have its own thread, also to talk about potential new "future of the WWE" stars.
What's crazy is, that of the 10 people in the 2010 list, only 3 are still with the company and became World Champions (Kofi, the Miz & Dolph Ziggler) and only one of the other 7 that are no longer with the company became a World Champion (Jack Swagger). The other 6 (David Hart Smith, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, Tyson Kidd, Evan Bourne, John Morrison) either didn't go far in the company at all or had some midcard success before leaving.
It's still crazy to think about that list and the fact that Jack freakin Swagger has more world title reigns than John Morrison and Ted Dibiase, who at the time we thought would be a big thing...
What factored into this list is that NXT was not really around yet and there was no real place for the WWE to "grow" their new superstars, it was a pretty weird time if you think back. Now one could obviously say that NXT2.0 and all the NXT upcomers are "tomorrow's champions" but that's really vague.
Who would be your 10 picks of active Superstars who could potentially be World Champions in a couple of years or released or starting a new company or become a producer behind the scenes etc etc ?
