My personal favorites to be Future or soon to MAin event are Shelton Benjamin, Nitro, Cm Punk

I feel the same way. Shelton, CM Punk, and Nitro have the athleticism and great ring work, but they lack the persona. Especially Shelton, the guy is terrible on the mic. They'll all make it in the long run like Edge did, but none of them will ever be HUGE stars.
Carlito and Kennedy are the future of the business, definitely. They both have ring talent and great characters. Orton, on the other hand, I feel ya. I don't see what is so great about him at all. He does nothing for me. And unless he's really cleaned up his act, he'll be working gymnasiums for the rest of his life.
Let's see: Foley, Hogan, Flair, HHH, Benoit, Undertaker, HBK etc. etc. etc. have all given him the rub and put him over, and people still aren't really feeling him. Dude is a bust IMO.

his still only 26, but it is time for him to start showing that those pushes are starting to pay off. He has everything to be a natural heel, and he can't pull it off. I'm waiting. I wouldn't dump him, I wouldn't call him a bust, but I'd stop having people put him over. I'd let him settle in the mid card, like IC or US champ, until he can hold his own, and get his own heat to become a main eventer.
Trauma-san:
Like M Dogg said, You're leaving out 1 big factor in your equation: his age. He has a great physique, decent mike skills, he's fairly athletic and average in the ring. He's also a third generation wrestler.... but being so young, I can kind of overlook his cocky attitude and his overall greeness. Kenendy and Carlito, Benjamin, Nitro, and CM Punk are probably all more talented than him in the ring, but he's still an extremely young third generation wrestler. He's worth taking a chance on, and all of these wrestlers wouldn't have worked with him if there wasn't something there.
Sikotic™:
Very true. Above all Vince knows best for the most part, and he's sticking with Orton.

Anyone see how uncomfortable michaels looked when they were talking about the devil on raw, it's funny how they're pushing this dx thing even though he's against pretty much everything they originally stood for,
chill

sad thing is, he probably wont be complaining very much about it anymore...they re-signed him to a new contract where he makes i think 1.5 million a year (which is kickass for a wrestler); dunno how long its for though
btw, i read there might keep the SS and DX stables going on longer than they originally planned
