10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Aug 23)

3. Heath Slater As A Top Guy

From @coryabacon: Given The Ringmaster, Terra Ryzin, Sexton Hardcastle, Rocky Maivia and others, is it possible for Slater to main event eventually?
A Heath Slater question? Those don't happen often. Also for what it's worth, Slater did main event at SummerSlam 2010 in a 7 on 7 tag although that's probably not what you're referring to. This might come off like a joke question, but if you think about it he's got a valid point because some of the biggest names in wrestling history had awful gimmicks and they were able to overcome to become stars. The big problem with Slater right now is that he's too much of a joke character. A talent can get out of a bad gimmick if it's stupid, but if it's a joke character that has been on TV for two or three years that's a tough hole to dig out of. Slater's actually a good in-ring performer and he has charisma, but the idea that he could main event one day is unlikely.
