9. Sonny Kiss

Sonny Kiss has a long way to go but Sonny Kiss has all the tools to complete that journey. Without even touching on the aesthetics and the gimmick itself, his natural athleticism and fluid mannerisms make it clear that Kiss has the God-given abilities that are the bare necessities one needs for a long and successful pro wrestling career.

But how can you talk about Sonny Kiss without even touching on the aesthetics? The flamboyance, the excitement of it all, Kiss is a truly unique character on a roster full of the things, another shining example of AEW's approach to this pro wrestling thing. You aren't going to get Sonny Kiss confused with anyone else on the roster, that's for sure.

What is his ceiling? That remains impossible to judge, but a continuation of Sonny's team with Joey Janela will likely be the state of play for the time being, although don't be surprised to see Sonny in an increasingly large number of high-profile singles matches as time goes by. There's something there, and AEW would be pretty dull not to capitalise on it.

Of course, the 'it' in question is that ass. I believe the term is 'popping'.

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.
