Who are some wrestlers today that remind you of Classic wrestlers? Not an exact match but either their gimmick, look or style makes you think of their 70's, 80's or 90's counterpart.
Here are some of mine:
London and Kendrick = The Rockers
The Great Khali = Giant Gonzales
Colin Delaney = 1-2-3 Kid
Mr. Kennedy = Roddy Piper
Festus = George Steele

To be honest i think: Chris Jericho - Roddy Piper Santino - Early Kurt Angle (cockyness & comedy value thats all) JR - Gordon Solie Umaga - One of the Headshrinkers John Morrison - early cocky HBK Vladimir Kozlov - Ludvig Borga Matt Striker - Dean Douglas  |

Kid was never the big man's bitch week in and week out, and actually possessed legitimate ability. Mikey Whipwreck is a far better comparison. And Khali -> Gonzales is lol too, Khali is actually a half decent worker for a giant. Gonzales sucked. |

I see the Rock in Carlito, i honestly think Carlito could be huge if they use him as a cocky heel, and give him a singles push.

The little jobber who gets his ass beat all the time and doesn't really have any offense. |

When Triple H is heel he can easily be seen as a young Harley Race

Mr. Kennedy= The Rock
Kennedy is the best newer guy on the stick since little ol' Rock.
MVP= Mr. Perferct
It's the same character! All we need now is for the coach to come back and have MVP shoot a basketball backwards.
HHH= Jake the Snake
Both are masters at in ring pyschology.
A.J. Styles= Young Flyin Brian Pillman
Both are/were tremendous workers in ring, hopefully Styles won't have to die before people fully realize.
Randy Orton= Paul Orndorff
Both have an extreme cockiness but are great to watch in action
Carlito= Piper
Both work in the face spot but are tremendous heels.

Kennedy cant even garner a quarter of the reaction the rock would get from the crowd. The rock has charisma and is consistent - kennedy just has 1 catchphrase and its getting boring now. Carlito = Piper = WRONG!!!!!!! Where on earth did you get this from??! Roddy piper is one of the greatest talkers in this business - EVER! Carlito doesnt even come close to him. Im really annoyed that you even made this comparison - carlito is stale, boring and quite frankly crap. |

John Cena - Hulk Hogan (better worker than Hogan)
Mr. Kennedy - Steve Austin (a poor man's version)
Londrick - The Rockers (a poor man's version)
Beth Phoenix - Chyna (much more attractive, though)
MVP - The Rock (not as over or as talented on the mic as Rock)
Michelle McCool - Torrie Wilson (better wrestler, not as good looking)
Kelly Kelly - Stacy Keibler (same as ^)
Mickie James - Trish Stratus (basically, this generation's Trish)
Also, I could see Maryse turning into another Sunny as a manager w/sex appeal.
Those are just some obvious comparisons that come to mind.
