Professional Wrestling: Do you believe any Professional Wrestler can become a main event star with the correct coaching?

If that was the case then why didn't guys like Goldberg or John Cena get "proper coaching"? Patirisha sent me several messages claiming that coaching wouldn't take too long and it's not a huge deal. Go figure.

I think most people could Dave, Vince McMahon could of made a lot of guys into a star, but then again, they tried to create main event stars out of guys like Val Venis, and that didn't work out and he is as good as you can get, with mic skills, the look, even wrestling ability he was alright

guys like Gillberg, wouldn't work, just too damn small and was used for comedy for a reason, JTG, Vince might of been able to make into a main event star, there is enough for Vince to work with there

Yes, I strongly believe that the proper coaching can turn any wrestler into a main eventer. Professional wrestling is nothing more than a form of entertainment and people that have what it takes to make a professional wrestling roster could be taught how to entertain. Nobody is a "born" entertainer. How to entertain people is LEARNED based on studying people, learning what makes them laugh or keeps them occupied, and giving people what they want based on that. Signing somebody, giving them a ring name, random gimmick, throwing them out there, and telling them to do their best isn't enough. You have to ensure your talent knows how to entertain before they make the roster. The same thing even exists in other sports such as basketball. Many of those basketball players become superstars not only by working with skilled coaches, but they also work with basketball legends on their own time that already established themselves in the past. Jobbers already have plenty of time on their hands because they don't get too much TV time and they're not booked every week all the time like superstar wrestlers. If a jobber can do some clever detective work and uncover what wrestling fans enjoy, use his time wisely and create a schedule to train with great wrestlers with an extensive professional and even amateur wrestling background, combined with training with various different types of entertainer such as wrestlers that were great on the mic, (former) actors, comedians, etc., and develop a wrestling style and gimmick based on what the fans want after doing that detective work, any jobber could become a superstar. A great teacher can make a star out of anybody. The WWE and all promotions can provide this to all their wrestlers just as every sports league has a minor league to help players develop. They just need to put more effort into it.

You think guys like Santino Marella, Yoshi Tatsu, Zack Ryder could become a main event stars, no I don't believe that, because if WWE doesn't give them a good gimmick, they will never be main event stars, that is why Fandango, Adam Rose and Bo Dallas will never be main event stars, because of their stupid gimmick.

+ WWE has ruined a lot wrestlers that had the potential, guys like The Miz (like him or not, he was one of the few that could make generate so much heat from the crowd), Damien Sandow (magneto, seriosuly?) Dolph Ziggler, Ezekiel Jackson, Drew McIntyre (They really ruined everything when they made him join 3MB) and much more

EDIT:

Correct coaching has nothing to do with it, the perfect gimmick does

This is a question of nature vs. nurture.

I think that people can be coached to do anything that they want to put their mind to. I do believe some people do have a natural ability to do certain things, but will not reach their full potential without the proper coaching/training. ANd some people just have an inherit ability to do what they want.

This is a question that can not be answered.

No. Some guys have it, some guys don't, and what 'it' is can be undefined.

We've seen what happens when 'it' is nothing more than a product of the machine. The fans turn on it. They turn on it hard, and they turn on it fast, regardless to how good a person or wrestler the guy or gal they're turning on is.

I honestly believe that the cream rises to the top in wrestling, regardless to whatever agenda or plans the upper eschelon have. Every promotion in the history of wrestling has been guilty of pushing a star that the fans don't want. ROH pushed Jerry Lynn as their champion when nobody wanted it, TNA forced Jarrett upon us in it's early days, Chikara tried to shove Lince Dorado down their fan's throats, WCW REALLY wanted us to like Alex Wright for some reason. And with the WWE, the number of guys they've tried to get over against the graces of the fans is almost countless.

Now that doesn't mean that if a guy like JTG has some raw potential, that it can't be tapped by the right minds in the business and used to it's fullest. Look no further than the migration from WCW in the late 90's to understand that point. Even in today's era of wrestling, we have a guy like Bray Wyatt who wouldn't have ever found his voice if it weren't for Dusty Rhodes (aaand arguably Dan Spivey), but that doesn't mean that the potential was never there.

God bless Duane Gill, but he'll never be anything in wrestling outside of a joke, and not even a broken toy fixer like Paul Heyman could make money out of a guy like that. And it's not because he's garbage in the ring (I can't even remember if he was good or not), or because he's average looking, or because he's short, it's because he doesn't possess that spark of talent that guys like Foley, Jericho, Austin, and even Daniel Bryan have, that charisma, that 'it' that's undefined that anyone with half a brain for the business could glomp onto and use.

No it's something you're born with. Not something you can teach. You hear that all the time in professional sports when they talk about psychology and IQ, but it's really the truth. You've either got that "It Factor" or you don't. Even though these are some of my favorite wrestlers, I don't think guys like Daniel Bryan or Cesaro have that. I think they're very very good and will be great main eventers for years to come. But they'll never be that face of the franchise who everything revolves around of. There just isn't that aura about them.

Even though I' am no longer a fan of the guy, CM Punk was somebody who had "it". But due to varying circumstances, it didn't pan out. Other guys that pop into my head at Chris Jericho, Edge, and Eddie Guerrero. I think if things went different for all of them, they could have became the face of the company. Each of them. If Jericho cared as much about wrestling as he did about music, where would he be now? If Edge never had all of those serious injuries, where would he be now? And of course with Eddie Guerrero you know what happened there.

It's tough to explain really. You just have it or you don't. When it comes to the future I think guys like Sami Zayn, Bray Wyatt, Paige, Aj Lee, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Adam Cole, and Kevin Steen all have that passion to want to be the best. You can see it in their eyes just how much they care about reaching that level. It's just not something you can teach. You can make a main eventer who'll fill up a time slot, but you can't make a superstar.

You know it's rigged, right?
