It's very important to note that we are not insinuating that any of the men on this list should be getting opportunities at the WWE or Universal Championships. Unlike you may see on Twitter, a push truly exists when a Superstar finds himself in a consistent role on television with a clear direction. No need to be a World, Intercontinental or United States Champion -- just a meaningful spot on the roster would do wonders.

Eric Young is a guy who has never failed to hit a home run no matter what type of pitch is hurled his way. In TNA, he was an amazing lackey, a great comedy guy, a convincing angry heel, and eventually an extremely solid main-event star who even had a brief reign as World Champion. When he came up to the main roster from NXT, SAnitY was almost immediately disbanded, and all of them essentially disappeared.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

With the new brand split in full effect, it's a perfect time for different Superstars to get chances at a little bit of glory. Aleister Black is still looking for someone to knock on his door, so why not Eric Young? It's a great way to reintroduce Young as a madman and it could give Black an interesting feud on television. There's no reason EY has to come out as the overall victor, but he slots in perfectly in any role. He's perfect as a crazy guy -- he's essentially R-Truth, just without TV time. Give it a shot!
