12 Current WWE Stars Who Could Be Legends Reborn

The second comings...

Anytime a performer in any medium starts to make an impact, fans and critics are quick to rush and christen them €œthe second coming of _____€. Often it€™s a compliment but can serve to put undue pressure on the talent to live up to the lofty expectations set by the comparison, and many times they fall short. For professional wrestling, the WWE €œsports entertainers€ on screen each Monday and on the various other programming the company produces are far from immune to being labelled as the one of their successful predecessors reborn in a modern package. It isn€™t always fair and a lot of times the analogies miss the mark entirely, but it doesn€™t stop fans from speculating on the future of the new generation. Sometimes, it's based on in-ring skills, while at others it's more an issue of the personalities of the characters themselves or their ability to connect with audiences. In some cases the links will be hard for these men and women to live up to, but they're well-equipped for the challenge.
