6. It Could Really Benefit Midcarders Going Nowhere
There are so many talented midcard wrestlers in WWE doing nothing right now: King Barrett, Damien Sandow, Curtis Axel, Jack Swagger, Bo Dallas, Fandango, Heath Slater and Zack Ryder, just to name a few. Those are just some WWE superstars who have no direction in WWE right now and may never get going on the right track unless something is done to help them. They do have talent, however, or else they wouldn't be in WWE in the first place. A guy like Barrett really sticks out as a potential leader of the group because he's a good talker, has quality matches and has an awesome presence about him. He just needs that one storyline to get him to that next level. Damien Sandow may be the most underrated performer in WWE. Look at how well he connected with the crowd when he was doing the silly "Mizdow" character for months and then WWE didn't really follow up on it. What a waste of his undoubted potential. When Cody Rhodes dumps the Stardust gimmick, he will need a new push using the Cody Rhodes name, so associating him with the Four Horsemen would allow him to grow as a performer. If they need a main event level guy as the leader, then they should look at guys like Seth Rollins or possibly a heel Roman Reigns because they could do great work in a role like that.
