- Houston Texans: Cody Rhodes
I have been waiting for Cody Rhodes to get his (well-deserved) push for about three years, and it still hasn't happened. He is a great wrestler. He is good on the mic. He has the family history, being the son of Dusty Rhodes and brother of Dustin "Goldust" Rhodes. He is loaded with potential, but has yet to get over that hump to super-stardom. The Houston Texans are exactly the same. We know they have a ton of talent. They are just a massive ball of untapped potential. Two straight trips to the playoffs are nice. A Super Bowl is nicer. Is the third time the charm?
- Indianapolis Colts: Kane
Kane is one of my all time favorite wrestlers, and even though he has been the same character for 16 years, he has managed to reinvent himself by pairing with younger stars he can help push. The latest of these was his teaming with Daniel Bryan, or his feuds with The Shield and The Wyatt Family. And infusion of young stars helps his character stay fresh. The Colts weren't exactly a young team when Peyton Manning left. They got rid of some of their older players, and hooked up with #1 pick Andrew Luck. He has been great, and now the Colts are back to being a playoff contender.
- Tennessee Titans: Kofi Kingston
I like Kofi, I really do. He is super fun to watch. The problem is that he is stuck in the mid-card. He needs some tweaks to his character or his style to push himself to the next level. The same can be said about the Titans. They aren't a terrible team, they just don't have the talent to be a true contender. Chris Johnson hasn't been himself in years, making us wonder if he is on the downside of his career. Jake Locker still needs to prove that he can be a starting QB in the NFL. Kenny Britt needs to show he can stay health and out of trouble. If they are able to take care of some of these issues, then I could see them making a run. Until then, they are just middle of the pack.
- Jacksonville Jaguars- Hornswoggle
The Jaguars aren't exactly a good team. To be fair, they are pretty awful. They seem to just be around these days for the amusement of the rest of the NFL. That's the reason why Hornswoggle is in the WWE. He is a leprechaun (or just vertically challenged) whose best friend is a 7'1 man from Punjab, India. He dances, he throws out t-shirts, he makes kids happy. We don't expect to see him in the main event any time soon, and we feel bad if some bigger guy is picking on him, but we don't take him that seriously as a wrestler. He's there for our entertainment, just like the Jaguars.
Our journey concludes in the next post, the AFC West. Join us, won't you?
