A random topic to get something interesting going on in here...
 

For no real reason I am wondering what former wrestler do you think would have been better in today's market then the one they wrestled in. You can only pick one, and please give some details as to why you think they would have fit in better today's industry then when they actually were wrestling.

Rick Steamboat

i think andre the giant, because would fit in with the big show and kahli and kane and undertaker. it would be fucking cool if they all were in a match together.

What are you talking about? Andre the Giant was the biggest drawing star of the time. He was a living legend in both wrestling and mainstream. Everyone knows who he is because he was around at the right time. If he was around today he would be a dime-a-dozen big man.

yeah and he would kick all their asses!

Bad News Brown. Fans would of ate his "no friends, ass kicking, back stabbing" gimmick up. I bet he would of got cheered at Mania 4 when he threw Bret out.

Godfather put him in now and he MIGHT be an entertaining person to watch...

but then again, they would put him on RAW for about 2 months then drop his ass to heat

Bret Hart. He never drew a dime in WWF, but I think in the new era today, he'd be a major player.

Thank you!!!

You know how hard it is to convince some people about that!?

Here's the proof! http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=43727

In a lot of ways, he resembles some off what the Stone Cold character was. He didn't trust anybody, was all about himself, and rebelled against authority (i.e. talked down to Jack Tunney in interviews). The only difference is he didn't get cheered the way Austin did.

Forgive the Naitch. He was bbusy doing lines with the Rock that week.

Vader. If Vader was about 5-10 years younger, he'd be around for the Attitude Era and the present Era. He had the size, he could work, he could talk.

Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase.

The Great Muta

Here's a concept....a gimmick wrestler with amazing talent. There's more credibility with being smaller in today's market than when he was in his prime.

You'll think I'm crazy for this, but hear me out. If Nick Mondo didn't retire, he probably would have been a great addition to the new ECW.

Right on the money!
