6. Adam Cole - NXT
Adam Cole, Bay-Bay! The Panama City Playboy is guaranteed to end up in the clutches of World Wrestling Entertainment eventually, it is merely a question of when rather than if. At only 26-years-old, Cole is already as well-rounded a performer as anyone you are going to find on the independent scene. His character traits are on point, and everything he does in the ring seems to have a purpose. He also has people within WWE and NXT rooting for him. Barely a Kevin Owens interview goes by without him mentioning Cole's name in reference to the individual he feels should get the NXT call next. A number of Cole's best opponents also find themselves within the halls of the Performance Centre. Cole would be a great fit on NXT. He has the talent and ability to be a hit on RAW and SmackDown, but NXT is most definitely the place to be right now.

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.
