Outlook - John Walters has been one of the top indy talents in New England for a while now and hopes to find his place on the national scene for sure. He was a good pick-up by Ring of Honor and he's worked hard to improve. Although well-rounded and innovative, Walters seems to lack the color and qualities that would make him a definite future star. He is an excellent technical wrestler and could probably become a gifted worker and carrier, which may very well be the best role for him in the wrestling world. John Walters basically needs something to set him apart from the crowd, but otherwise he's an excellent talent with potential to go somewhere.
