As much as we say stuff like, "Oh, I'd sign Rollins, Ambrose, etc., etc," I think a solid argument can be made that the Top 3 guys you sign should still be:


-John Cena
-The Rock
-Brock Lesnar


Why? Because - star power. Period. Cena owns the kid demographic, while The Rock is a Hollywood star. Lesnar is also a star in his own right.


As much as we'd want our Top 5 to be something like, "Rollins, Ambrose, Zayn," or whoever, the truth of the matter is that said promotion would have a difficult time even taking off if your immediate Top 5 signings was something to that effect.
Don't think I'd count the Rock in this. He's nowhere near a "full-time guy". Hell, he's not even a special attraction. I'd honestly put him more in the "celebrity guest" category at this point. At best you'd get him to do one match for you. Lesnar on the other hand I count since he does at least do all the big shows and is signed to a real multi-year contract. Rocky is a one and done deal.

I actually did put Cena in my list, as a top heel. I would start the turn on the debut, when he comes out in a solidly smart mark city (Philly, NYC, or Chicago jump out right off the bat) to face Cesaro in the main event.

I personally added Harper and Ryback for the same reason. If you can't figure out how to make money off of a guy with Ryback's raw charisma, you're a complete moron. If you can't figure out how to book a guy like Harper, you're a complete moron (why he hasn't been booked to kill off the aging monsters to become the ultimate monster himself boggles my mind).

Ziggler is the number 2 face only because Ryback has to be #1. He'll certainly have his title runs, but his primary goal is to get heat on the heels and build them up for Ryback. Cesaro is in a similar role. The guy can go, he's an athletic freak of nature. He's the tweener workhorse until he can find the one thing that will put him on that next level.

I'd use Cena as the means to make the new stars.

I wouldn't waste a "signing" on Rock or Brock, as they would never wrestle full-time....after a few one-off appearances, you'd be left with only 3/5 star names and an empty bank account that could have been used to sign younger talent (Rollins/Ambrose/Roode/Aries/Reigns/Zayn/Barrett/whoever)

You wouldn't have a company featuring only those five talents, keep in mind.

Another thing to ponder:

Let's say you sign

-Seth Rollins
-Dean Ambrose
-Neville
-Dolph Ziggler
-Roman Reigns

And another rival company signs The Rock, Cena, and Brock.

Who do you think is going to get a TV deal first? Given what the popularity of wrestling is at current (I.e. NOT attitude era), don't you think it would be extremely tough for that promotion with the 5 guys listed to gain any traction/fan interest?
