10 Pro Wrestlers who may become the Next Big Thing

NXT's Matt Riddle could be a huge star in the making

#7 Dragon Lee

Dragon Lee's main drawbacks are his smaller size

Dragon Lee was going to be a boxer, but during his first match, he body slammed his opponent! Obviously more drawn to pro wrestling, Lee has become an indie sensation.

Why he might be the next big thing: He can--and has--kept up with Ricochet move for move, and his martial arts background is in keeping with the evolution of the sport. Plus, lucha libre stars are gaining wider acceptance outside of Mexico.

Why he might not be the next big thing: Dragon Lee's main drawbacks are his smaller size and the fact that promoters--rightly or wrongly--often surmise that a masked wrestler may have trouble resonating with the fans.
