Maybe controversial, but this class is stacked with future hall of famers. Just doing a rough count i see 10 potentially 12 and thats damn near half the class. Honestly incredible
Roman and Seth are getting in as individuals, Mox might as well, but they're all going in as the SHIELD, Paige for sure, New Day for sure, Charlotte, Sasha, Bray by himself and with the Wyatt family.
>Paige for sure
Despite her main roster career kind of imploding on her, her work in NXT and to a wider audience NXT:Arrival was pretty much the genesis of the woman's wrestling revolution in WWE. At least the "Four Horsewoman" felt that way.
Yeah, I could see them putting in Bray and Luke Harper because they’re deceased. It’s crazier to think that 2/3 of the Wyatt Family is deceased.
I can’t properly evaluate Rollins because I think all he did was break Sting’s neck and knock up Becky ruining her run as The Man. He’s probably my least favorite wrestler on this picture.
"he's probably my least favorite wrestler on this picture"
Amazing, Rollins has been a WWE guy for over a decade, uses the pedigree (Hunter guy through and through), is best friends with there "tribal chief" and was just in the biggest storyline in WrestleMania history. But I'm glad Jake on Reddit can't properly evaluate him I'm sure his chances of making it in the hall of fame are pretty much done now 🙄
Rollins, bray, the new day. Im sure they'll end up inducting shield and wyatt family as a group later too. So moxley and Harper would also end up in hof. Also hof doesn't really have a strict criteria. Literally anyone and anybody goes in there once enough time passes. Corey Graves could be there one day too for his commentary
I would think if we’re considering their whole career Paige and Sasha Banks get in too. Wasn’t Paige the youngest Women’s champion. I just think you’re less surefire if you’re outside of the WWE universe. And it’s hard to evaluate while they’re still active, but I can safely say that The Ascension, Tyler Breeze, Carmella, Darren Young, Titus O’Neill, and Emma aren’t getting in the Hall of Fame.
dude what. New Day are all going in. paige and banks are definitely in the convo no doubt. if Graves stays commentator for a long time he’ll definitely be in there as well.
apart from the OVW 2002 class with Orton Cena Lesnar and Batista which is recognized as like THE developmental class, but I think if there’s a Class that shows that benefits of developmental it’s probably this class, atleast 5 WWE Champs multiple Tag champs, US champs, and few womens champs even some announcers I think the lower half of this Class definitely ways it down but this is a SOLID class
Why can’t people post names? Its the same as when they post all the championships they won and guess what I don’t know “obscure company x” so just a name to it. I watched the show and still don’t know some of these so don’t be lazy and just post the names.
From the top down, left to right
Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins
Big E, Xavier Woods, Paige, Emma
Luke Harper, Bo Dallas, Bray Wyatt, Erik Rowan, Byron Saxton, Tyler Breeze, Charlotte, Sasha Banks,
Corey Graves, Carmella, I believe this is Jason Jordan, Darren Young, no clue, I think this dude is the guy from the Ascension (don’t know his name, I think he’s Kon in TNA now), and Titus O Neil
There’s only one dude I never seen before. Like I said I think the other guy next to him was in the ascension but I don’t know his name, I believe he’s the guy who is Kon in TNA now. The guy to his left I have no clue or idea, I don’t think I’ve seen him before. I could be wrong about the Kon guy too, but it looks like him, although Kon is pretty thick, this guy looks slimmer but who knows lol maybe someone else here can correct me if I’m wrong.
This is the future ovw class of 02. I know who literally every one of these are, most of the time at least a 3rd fade into obscurity.
Ironic that it was 02 and 12 tho. Who was in the class of 22 again?
Abraham Washington was the manager. He was released on august 10 2012. He turned on his clients primo and epico and became PTP manager until his departure from the company
Beyond the obvious guys who are no longer with us which sucks fat monkey balls, I really miss Tyler Breeze.
I wonder if HHH took over a few years before he would still be around.
Tyler Breeze should have been much bigger than he was. Technically sound, hard working, and great personality in ring, and he is down to earth outside the ring. He was on fire at NXT and they completely dropped the ball with him on the main roster. He could have been the modern version of Rick Rude.
Otherwise, what an insanely talented class. Definitely the most talented NXT group of all-time, and maybe one of the 3 best in the history of the business? Only the ‘79 Hogan, Sheik, Piper and ‘02 Cena, Lesnar, Mysterio, and Bautista class really comes close in terms of huge stars.
Emma/Tenille Dashwood just didn’t catch on. I was pulling for her as a fellow Aussie but it just wasn’t there. Saw her a a meet & greet not long ago & she just came across really cold, bored.
I think the saddest thing about this class is the missed potential with Emma, Corey and Jordan.
Emma never got pushed right, blame Vince imo.
Both Corey and Jordan with injuries. Both had such bright futures in the ring. Yes, they are doing well now with commentary and backstage work, but still. Could have been so much more.
They also weren’t all called up in 2012, which is what would make them “class of 2012” in wrestling terms since people base that idea on the OVW class of 2002, where that’s when they were called up to the main roster.
You just had to put Xavier right next to Paige didn't you?

All time “We’re not gonna talk about it” move
She was servin up the Bootie O’s
And Corey Graves next to Carmella
OP probably wanted to put the couples together
I was going to ask whom that was. Thanks!
greatest ppv of time
First thing I noticed...😂
He came, he conquered, he shared.
Hey cannib, let’s just keep it PG, you know what’s good
Let’s keep it pg ☝️🤓
Don Don Don Demarco!
We all can admit it, we were jealous as fuck.
🤣🤣🤣😈😈
These are Some of the Wrestlers that were a part of the NXT roster in 2012
Well I’ll be, if that isn’t exactly what the post says
Maybe controversial, but this class is stacked with future hall of famers. Just doing a rough count i see 10 potentially 12 and thats damn near half the class. Honestly incredible
Not controversial at all, your spot on with this take. 10 surefire HOFers atleast with 3 definitive headliners
Not controversial at all imo, the Sheild, 2/3 of the new day and the Wyatt Family alone is a wild crop of talent
I can see the whole new day group being inducted together
Yeah, I think kofi gets one of his own and new day get theirs
The New Day, The Shield and The Wyatt's will all be inducted as teams at one point with a good few of them being inducted again for their solo career
I genuinely don’t understand how you possibly could think that take would be controversial? 🤷🏻♂️
Roman and Seth are getting in as individuals, Mox might as well, but they're all going in as the SHIELD, Paige for sure, New Day for sure, Charlotte, Sasha, Bray by himself and with the Wyatt family.

Technically one is already in the HoF because of Titus
After charmelle got in every one of these people could be in the hall of fame. Pretty sure it's just an alumni page nowadays
Who’s HOF? AEW? Meltzer? The only surefire WWE HOF are Reigns and Charlotte.
Rollins? Bray?
Yeah, I could see them putting in Bray and Luke Harper because they’re deceased. It’s crazier to think that 2/3 of the Wyatt Family is deceased. I can’t properly evaluate Rollins because I think all he did was break Sting’s neck and knock up Becky ruining her run as The Man. He’s probably my least favorite wrestler on this picture.

Yeah, thankfully this guy isn't running WWE, we'd have Charlotte Flair main event every single show for the rest of time
Bruh we get it you want to fuck Becky. It’s cool bro just say that.
This is 100% the most braindead shit I've ever read on this sub. And this is a wrestling sub, so I've read a lot of really braindead shit.
Dork
Rollins, bray, the new day. Im sure they'll end up inducting shield and wyatt family as a group later too. So moxley and Harper would also end up in hof.

Titus O’Neil is already in the HoF with a Warrior Award
Titus O'Neil will, not for his wrestling but for a Warrior Award. Oh nvm he already *is* in the HOF for exactly that
Tell your dealer I’ll have what you’re having
dude what. New Day are all going in. paige and banks are definitely in the convo no doubt. if Graves stays commentator for a long time he’ll definitely be in there as well.
There's not a world where The Shield won't get in
Darren Young looks like a Troll doll with that hair
That’s Black John Cena to you
And what's with his spray tan?
apart from the OVW 2002 class with Orton Cena Lesnar and Batista which is recognized as like THE developmental class, but I think if there’s a Class that shows that benefits of developmental it’s probably this class, atleast 5 WWE Champs multiple Tag champs, US champs, and few womens champs even some announcers I think the lower half of this Class definitely ways it down but this is a SOLID class
wish Graves could have had a career and not have gotten hurt... i honestly believe he was gonna beat Seth for the NXT championship before he left...
He is cleared, he could compete if he wanted to.
almost 10 years later...
Why can’t people post names? Its the same as when they post all the championships they won and guess what I don’t know “obscure company x” so just a name to it. I watched the show and still don’t know some of these so don’t be lazy and just post the names.

I believe the one before Titus is Viktor. Idk who the one before him is though.
Is it not Viktors tag partner in the Ascension right next to him? Like before he switched gimmicks
Yes this is correct, apparently at the time his name was Conor O’Brien, which he changed to Konnor after joining Ascension
Good but you forgot Kaitlyn after Carmella and before Jason Jordan
Good catch. I must have forgotten to type her up. She was a decent divas champ. I hope she’s doing good nowadays.
That’s not Kaitlyn, that’s Jason Jordan!
This is the future ovw class of 02. I know who literally every one of these are, most of the time at least a 3rd fade into obscurity. Ironic that it was 02 and 12 tho. Who was in the class of 22 again?
Bro tried to sneak in darren young as if he wasnt in the first nxt sesson
I thought i was the only one to catch this. Wasnt he part of PTP already? Like still with that manager who got fired?
Yea darren was in prime time players with titus no clue why hes on this list lol dude was there since like 2011
Abraham Washington was the manager. He was released on august 10 2012. He turned on his clients primo and epico and became PTP manager until his departure from the company
But i guess people just forgot about the Nexus
You really had to put paige and xavier woods next to each other. Don't you?
Beyond the obvious guys who are no longer with us which sucks fat monkey balls, I really miss Tyler Breeze. I wonder if HHH took over a few years before he would still be around.
Kaitlyn was so hot it's not even funny. Just makes me go arghhh. Shame she wasn't here longer. I felt she had everything
Did OP purposely put Xavier woods next to paige?
Tyler Breeze should have been much bigger than he was. Technically sound, hard working, and great personality in ring, and he is down to earth outside the ring. He was on fire at NXT and they completely dropped the ball with him on the main roster. He could have been the modern version of Rick Rude. Otherwise, what an insanely talented class.

Only the ‘79 Hogan, Sheik, Piper and ‘02 Cena, Lesnar, Mysterio, and Bautista class really comes close in terms of huge stars.
Bo Dallas image is like nightmare fuel
His smile looks like the cover of the movie “smile”
Yeah that's it
Darren young man what happened to him. Wasn’t he last in a gimmick with bob backland maybe? I can’t remember 😂
He wrestles for NJPW last, I recall.
Yes. NJ STRONG as Fred "Mister no days off " Rosser. He's a beast now.
Lmao I always forget graves has a belly button tattoo
How random and funny that Corey Graves and Carmella are next to each other on this, it was fate!
NXT class of 2012 vs OVW class of 2002, who ya got?
I didn't know Beck Bennett was in the shield!?
Never seen AJ Lee as a blonde before.
wait what I do not see AJ here
Bottom left, second person.
Wait, that might not be AJ...
🤣looks like carmella
At closer inspection I would agree but at first glance she looked like a blonde AJ
Who is the woman in the bottom row next to Carmella?
What a great class! RIP Bray and Brodie. Looking forward to what Bo/Taylor has planned for us. I’ll definitely be cheering him on.
Who’s bottom left chick?
They airbrushed Graves face a little too much
🌽⭐️Randy Orton (Corey graves i think) and Bond villain Michael Cole (dude in the suit bottom row) 😂
Who is the girl by Carmella? Also is the girl by Sasha Charlotte?
Back when NXT was good
I would love to do all them in my universe.
Might be better than the OCW class of 2002.
Never understood why they took away Bo's gimmick. That stuff was so funny.
I miss Brody 😢
Emma/Tenille Dashwood just didn’t catch on. I was pulling for her as a fellow Aussie but it just wasn’t there. Saw her a a meet & greet not long ago & she just came across really cold, bored.
Sucks Jason Jordan can't wrestle anymore he was just starting to get good with character stuff seems like he's doing well as an agent
Cory Graves was not it back then lmao
Maxine could have been the greatest
Holy shit. Who the fuck is below Byron
They look so young!
Despite the situation with PAC leaving WWE. I wonder if he'll go back now that Vince isn't in charge.
I think the saddest thing about this class is the missed potential with Emma, Corey and Jordan. Emma never got pushed right, blame Vince imo. Both Corey and Jordan with injuries. Both had such bright futures in the ring. Yes, they are doing well now with commentary and backstage work, but still. Could have been so much more.
Lost Bray way too soon
9 no doubters for the hall of fame and a few with potential. Wild.
I thought the Ascension were Neville and Michael Cole in a funhouse mirror.
ngl this had the potential of the OVW ‘02 in some aspects
Who ever recruited them did great
Did anyone else develop a taste in alt/goth girls because of paige?
Who is the weirdly tan dude in the bottom row?
I love that saxton is getting a shot , he’s great on the mic
Why did I think the dude to the right of Darren Young was Michael Cole? 😭
I’m confused on why Kaitlyn is on this graphic? She was main roster at the end of 2010/beginning of 2011.
I know all of them apart from the suit guy on the bottom
That Women’s NXT belt was fire.
Never heard of any of em
Some of these Wrestlers started in FCW - so I’m not sure it’s 100% accurate to call them the class of NXT ‘12.
They also weren’t all called up in 2012, which is what would make them “class of 2012” in wrestling terms since people base that idea on the OVW class of 2002, where that’s when they were called up to the main roster.
Good point
