Alexander Hammerstone is currently riding high in MLW, where a years-long chase recently culminated in the beefy 30-year-old finally wrested the World Title from Jacob Fatu's beastly clutches, closing the door on one era while opening another.

Everything about this dude resembles a potential WWE headliner. He ticks so many of Vince McMahon's boxes that it'd be a surprise if the company hasn't already made a major play for him, in fact, and if he ever finds himself approaching free agency, Hammerstone will likely be the subject of considerable Stamford interest.

A gigantic human being with great power and a tremendous look, Hammerstone isn't the most refined wrestler in the world but is still able to hang in big-match situations, particularly when positioned opposite a crafty opponent. His ability to operate as either a heel or face makes him extremely useful wherever he is placed on the card - and that he possess Vince's oft-discussed "airport appeal" puts him over the edge. You see this guy, your head turns.
