We are the future: 10 pro-wrestlers on the cusp of super-stardom

#1 Johnny Gargano

There's a bit of a myth that to be successful in wrestling, you have to be over six feet tall and at least 250 pounds.

Try telling that to HBK, Rey Misterio, or Daniel Bryan, who have all ascended to the highest peaks of wrestling stardom!

10 WWE Stars Who Are Now Banned - Find Out Now!

Johnny Gargano, quite frankly, is more skilled than any of those men. WWE didn't expect a lot out of Gargano when they hired him, putting him into a tag team with Tommaso Ciampa. However, the wrestling audience took a shine to the former indie sensation, dubbing him "Johnny Wrestling."

Gargano is possibly the most over Superstar on NXT at the current time, and now that his wife Candace Larae has been hired it looks like WWE intends to keep Johnny Wrestling both on the roster and happy as he continues to ascend the ladder.

Ten capable men and women. Ten wrestlers on the verge of superstardom. The future is now!
