Potential WrestleMania Main Eventer #2: Johnny Gargano

Real Name: John Anthony Nicholas Gargano

Height and Weight: 5'10", 199 lbs.

Years in the Wrestling business: 14 (veteran.)

In ring style: Technical wrestling with some striking and submissions, and high flying. Basically if there's a move, Gargano knows it, and six ways to counter it.

Johnny Gargano's supreme wrestling skill got him on the radar of WWE as early as 2007, barely two years into his professional career. He wrestled and lost to MVP and Brodus Clay but was never signed to a contract.

However, Gargano remained on the WWE's 'someday' wish list of talent, and he indeed signed with the NXT brand several years ago. Gargano was an instant hit with the NXT audience, who dubbed him 'Johnny Wrestling.' His tag team with Tommaso Ciampa was perhaps doomed to split up at some point, because both men were seen by the WWE as future singles stars.

Now Gargano is on his own, flirting with a rise to the main roster, and is competing for the NXT Championship at Takeover New York.

Why he will main event WrestleMania someday: Johnny Gargano is one of the best pure wrestlers to come down the pike in a long time. He can get the crowd emotionally invested in his matches and has plenty of experience to rely upon while entertaining the fans
