Out of this group...possible that Sandow could catch on, but I think there's money in Ryback 6 months from now if done properly.

Funkasaurus is a little kid merchandise gold mine. They'll keep him just for that.

Damien Sandow is my hope. The guy was in developmental a combined 8 years. I think he deserves a shot. That and he's incredibly talented. Plus I think the gimmick could go far.

I'll go with Funkasarus since they are using him well currently having him with Santino. Ryback showed some great in ring charisma with his fire and facial expressions while wrestling as Sheffield so it wasn't a slam dunk. Bring back the damn lariat though.

Ryback just makes me think instantly of Renegade....except instead of aping the Ultimate Warrior he's a poor copy of Batista...who enjoyed copying the Ultimate Warrior...so there's your circle of life.
Funkasaurus is a fun bit which will last for a few months until he turns on Santino or whoever it is he's paired with at that point and that will end what made him special.
Tensai is the Hip Hop Hippo. There's no way I can take him seriously.
So Sandow gets my vote. Even without seeing him on Raw or Smackdown I think he has a better chance of succeeding than the other three combined.

I would say Skip 'Wellness Policy' Sheffield, now known as Ryback purely because I have read that Vince wants to push him to the moon.

Ryback has the best chance of getting over maybe like Batista, although he could go the way of Mason Ryan.
Funkasauras is a fun gimmick for Clay, but its a gimmick that will doom him to the midcard for eternity.

I think none will do much in WWE , but if I'm picking one its Ryback because Vinny loves his Traps.

Batista? Ryback is Goldberg with a lariat. If he keeps destroying people like last night, he could be big.

Saw Sandow in DC live in the dark match before RAW. He really was good. His gimmick is great and really came off wonderfully with the live crowd.

I chose Ryback but this is an interesting one....
Ryback will work as long as they have him squash people Goldberg style - as soon as they put him in a longer match he'll start to lose momentum but WWE might be wise enough not to do that.
Brodus Clay will be around for years for exactly the reason cookiebot gave.
I need to see Damien Sandow in the ring before I can give an honest opinion on him, but so far his promos have been good.
And finally Lord Tensai - he could work, he really could. The guy made himself a legitimate star in Japan and his slow paced style could eventually get him over. The problem is the majority of WWE fans don't realise there are other promotion outside of WWE, so have never seen him in Japan and only remember him as Albert - whether they accept the gimmick change or not will determine his fate, and at the minute they're rejecting it.
