You've won the lottery
Alright. Here's the deal:
You've won the lottery, say 300 million (£ or $ - whatever works for you) and you decide that you're going to start a wrestling company to rival WWE. You can 'steal' a maximum of 10 stars under contract to Vince, and the rest have to be made up from either Indy's, OVW, etc, or wrestlers who won't work for the talent-eater that is WWE. You're going to do one televised show per week, on Monday nights in the same time slot as RAW. So who would you pick... For me, I'd have the following 10; 1) Matt Hardy 2) Christian 3) Jericho 4) Edge 5) Randy Orton 6) John Cena 7) RVD 8) Jamie Noble 9) Rey Mysterio 10) Eddie Guerrero I'd also get out there and sign the following: Ultimo Dragon Bill Goldberg Steve Austin Sean O'Haire Matt Morgan Lance Storm That'd give me a starter for ten (well 16) and from there I'd start trawling Indy's, and kick my own ass when I remember people I'd forgotten. |
Eddie Guerrero
Chris Benoit Chris Jericho Shawn Michaels Randy Orton John Cena Shelton Benjamin Edge Christian The Rock Then I'd take AJ Styles Ron Killings Christopher Daniels Brock Lesnar Steve Austin Hulk Hogan Sean O'Haire Bob Sapp |
The ten in no order would be
Eddie Guerrero Chris Jericho Chris Benoit Tajiri Tazz ( if he'd wrestle again) Big Show Shawn Micheals William Regal Charlie Haas Shelton Benjamin Then I'd try to get a good working relationship with World-1 ( US basked Zero-1 promotion), which would get me in talks with people like Low-Ki, American Dragon, CM Punk, etc. It'd also get me in good contact with the Japanese Zero 1, getting a shitload of nice talent... Then I'd use Zero-1 to talk with Noah, and possibly AJPW and NJPW as well ( Because Japanese feds are more open, and they'll let there wrestlers tour with other feds.) I'd then try to get some Luchadors, and possibly some shoot fighters... Basically I'd market the company as being an actual diverse wrestling company. There'd be sports entertainment aspects and angles, but the ring work would be top notch. |
Well Austin and Goldberg are easy picks from the free agents list. If I had to pick ten from the WWE though, Michaels, Triple H, Benoit, Angle, Eddie, Edge, Jericho, Rock, Orton and, since I picked those guys to mess with Vinces head in the first place (coupled with the fact they're name guys who are over and/or can draw) I'll chuck JBL in there, just to really screw the competition over - one might argue I'd be doing them a favour, but I'm sure Vince wouldn't see it like that. Besides, I need somebody at the door to greet all the new young wrestlers I sign...

from wwe
1 ric flair 2 chris jericho 3 mic foley 4 chris benoit 5 eddie guererro 6 KANE 7 haas 8 benjamin 9 christian 10 booker t others that come to mind sting luger raven |
WWE:
1.Randy Orton 2. Maven 3. Triple H 4.Shawn Michaels 5.Matt Hardy 6. Chris Jericho 7. Ric Flair 8. Hurricane 9. Heyman 10. RVD Others: AJ Styles Raven Sean O'Hair Sting Luger Road Dogg |
If you have £300 million and don't take The Rock, HHH, Benoit, Michaels, Guerrero, Jericho, Angle and Foley to start with then you are an idiot. That would be every star the WWE has and you would have practically wiped out half your competition.
£300 million don't mean sh</>it without a national TV deal anyways. |
WWE
1) The Rock 2) Eddie 3) Cena 4) Benoit 5) Heyman 6) Jericho 7) Benjamin 8) Haas 9) Rey Mysterio 10) Paul London Free Agents Spanky Brock Lesnar Mike Awesome Juvi Raven Sean O'Haire Don Callis (Cyrus) |
My 10 (I'm assuming that The Rock is still contractually obligated to Vince)
-The Rock -Triple H -Chris Jericho -Chris Benoit -John Cena -Randy Orton -Eddie Guerrero -Rob Van Dam -Shawn Michaels -Christian With The Rock, you have your 'draw' (when he makes TV appearances). With Triple H, you have your 'established star' (who has been made to look like 'god'). With Shawn Michaels, you have your past legend (who can still work solid matches, and can get others over). With the rest, you have excellent wrestlers and/or guys who can potentially draw in the future. Others: AJ Styles D'Lo Brown (if he doesn't still wrestle, I'd bring him back). Sean O'Haire Jerry Lynn Stone Cold Steve Austin (part-time appearances) Hulk Hogan (part time appearances) Ryan Shamrock 2 other hot chicks (fans aren't going watch a TOTAL weiner fest). |
1. HBK
2. Jericho 3. John Cena 4. Randy Orton 5. HHH 6. Christian 7. Tajiri 8. Trish 9. Undertaker - the cowboy hat... 10. Kane 1. AJ Styles 2. Raven 3. Sean O'Haire 4. Sting 5. Lesnar 6. Road Dogg 7. Luger and 3 chicks.. |
Assuming we can keep gimmicks, etc.
1. The Rock 2. Kane 3. Kurt Angle 4. Shawn Michaels 5. Kane 6. The Undertaker 7. Chris Jericho 8. Triple H 9. Chris Benoit 10. Eddie Guerrero Anyone else with talent. |
I would get
The Rock The Undertaker Kane HHH Chris Benoit Randy Orton John Cena Shawn Michaels Eddie Guerrero Chris Jericho Free Agents or other people will be, Bret Hart Stone Cold Steve Austin Sting Bill Goldberg Ken Shamrock Jeff Jarret Brock Lesnar Sean O' Haire Jeff Hardy X Pac And for Women's matches i would get, Trish Lita Victoria Sable Torrie Nidia Jaqueline Tori Ivory Terri Runnels B.B The Kat Ryan Shamrock Matches for my company Hell In a Cell Burried Alive Inferno Ladder Match Table Match Cage Match Triple Tier Cage Match First Blood Match Barbwire Match Elimination Chamber PPV's Names (the ones in bold are the Special PPV'S) 1.Payback 2. WORLD WAR 3. Crash Out 4. FEVER LIVE 5. Unstopabble 6. Jason Nightmare 7. AMERICAN HEAT 8. River of Blood 9. No Rules Live 10. RUMBLE NIGHT 11. Night Out 12. WORLD CLASH Company Name WNW= WORLD NIGHT WRESTLING _____________________________ :y: |
Well wouldn't take all the best talent that the WWE has to offer, cause I know the only way to keep fans excited would be to have a healthy bit of compitition, so I wouldn't completely cripple the WWE with my picks, I'd just hurt them a bit.
WWE Wrestlers I'd Steal Chris Jericho: He'd be the cornerstone of my company Christian: Eventually would be my top heel Edge: would start off as my top heel Eddie Guerrero: major face pops Batista: I need at least one big guy Kane: Okay two big guys and I'd have him wrestle under his real name, but keep a similar gimmick Randy Orton: Gotta think about the future Al Snow: Great on the stick great in the ring, this'll be my way of showing the booking guys how stupid they are not using him Kurt Angle: A guy that can make anyone look good in the ring Mic Foley: A guy that could put anyone over Free Agents Sting: Big established name Jeff Jarrett: I've always dreamed of a Jarrett vs. Jericho feud for some reason Brock Lesner: Another big name Kanyon: Who betta then Kanyon? Mike Awesome: just give him a mouth piece maybe someone like... Arn Anderson: The perfect guy to manage up and comming talent Sean O'Haire: Start him in a feud with Sting as like a creepy fanatic of the Stinger Raven: The real Cerebrial Assassin Elix Skipper: I know he's in TNA, but I fogot his new name, this guy is golden and speaking of which... Dustin Rhodes: In an gimmick where he's somewhere between Dusty's "American Dweem" character and Goldust. |
WWE guys
-Jericho -Orton -HHH -The Rock -Haas -Benjamin -Matt Morgan (for the future) -Kane (make him credible again) -Benoit -Rey Mysterio FA's Lesnar AJ Styles Raven Juvi Sabu Sandman Psicosis Jerry Lynn Steve Corino GM or President of Company: Mic Foley |
From WWE...
John Cena Chris Jericho Randy Orton Shawn Michaels Rob Van Dam Edge Paul Heyman Tajiri Bubba Ray Dudley D-Von Dudley Some other guys I would sign... Johnny Jeter Jerry Lynn AJ Styles Brock Lesnar Michael Modest Bryan Danielson Steve Corino |
Ten talents I would steal from the WWE:
The Rock Randy Orton Taz Triple H Chris Jericho Kurt Angle Eddie Guerrero Rob Van Dam Rey Mysterio Jr. Chris Benoit I WOULD take Undertaker over Taz, however, Undertaker is old and probably doesn't have too long left to go. Other guys I would employ: Goldberg (I hate him too, but the man can attract some attention.) Brock Lesnar Ultimo Dragon Raven Kanyon Sean O'Haire Possibly Sabu Jerry Lynn Psychosis |
As steals from Vinnie Mac, Id take:
1. The Rock (If I could get him back in wrestling full time) 2. Kurt Angle (Obvious choice) 3. Chris Benoit (See Kurt Angle) 4. Eddie Guerrero (Mega Face Pops) 5. John Cena (I'd scrap the rapper gimmick and use him as a pirate - Long John Cena) 6. Shawn Michaels (The people want to see him) 7. Randy Orton (As said earlier in thread you have to think of the future) 8. Chris Jericho (Jericho could be the best in the business given half a chance) 9. Edge (See Randy orton) 10. Christian (I'd want E & C to reform and He'd be a great Heel) Others I'd love to have: Bret Hart (Biggest Face Pops ever) Sting (More Face Pops) Steve Austin (would attract attention to the company) Bill Goldberg (vs Austin Feud would make megabucks) Sean O'Haire (I'd find a proper use for him) Low-Ki (Crusier Champ) Danielson (vs Low-Ki always looks great) AJ Styles (vs Low-Ki vs Danielson > any crusier match WWE would allow) Jeff Hardy (Teeny Pops) Steve Corino (miss him on my TV) Mike Tenay (Funaki really wasnt the #1 announcer this guy was) Sabu (The man is pure class) Brock Lesnar (He was overpushed but still a good draw) Raven (vs Sabu would be a dream come true) The Sandman (vs Sabu vs Raven = Gold) Kanyon (Missed on Tv) Juvi (addition to any crusier division) Amazing Red (see Juvi) Sharkboy (I'd lose the shark gimmick but see Amazing Red and Juvi) Mike Awesome (Just noticed my distinct lack of bigger guys) Jamal (supposing Rosey didnt actually eat him) D-lo Brown (Hate the guy but he's a solid worker) Last but by no means least Ken Shamrock |
