9. Michael Bennett
Michael Bennett gets a bit of a bad rap from grap fans, and I'd say a lot of it is unwarranted. When he made his debut in Ring of Honor in 2008, he stuck out like a poor thumb as he was a WWE-style guy in a land of the cutting-edge innovators, and as such he didn't really endear himself to the RoH faithful. Bennett has come a long way in the seven years since, and currently holds the RoH Tag Team Championships with Matt Taven as part of the kingdom. He has become a reliable hand wherever he is on the card, a gatekeeper of sorts, and when left to wrestle he can seriously go. Still only 30 years old, I wouldn't be surprised to see him show up in NXT within the next 12 months. Oh, and he's married to former WWE diva Maria Kanellis, which can't be so bad.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
