To WWE:
Sting: For obvious reasons. The biggest star to never work for WWE. Some people would be content with him taking that title into the retirement. If given the chance to just trade him to WWE at will, no way I'd turn that down. I would have him appear on free TV once in a while but never wrestle outside PPV. Make them pay for it.
Mr. Anderson: The guys a great entertainer. Let TNA do their old school wrestling thing and see if he can do something with another crack at being the sports entertainer that he is such a natural at.
Bully Ray: (See below)
Devon: Just thought of how great this would be if you really wanted to revitalize the tag division. You bring in one of the most accomplished tag teams of all time, let them win the titles and build up all your other tag teams as striving to take it off the all-time greats. You've got teams getting their shot and just failing miserably and you've got teams giving the Dudleyz a run for their money. Eventually, one of them is able to finally take the titles off of them and they're made for life. Throw in a TLC match maybe at some point to harken back to the glory days and make it seem like the titles are worth putting your bodies on the line for.
James Storm: He's got the redneck gimmick that's been done PRETTY successfully in WWE before. But he's good at it. He's not the next Austin, but why not let him do his thing in WWE and see how far he can go. There's room for multiple successful rednecks in all eras of wrestling.
To TNA:
The Big Show: TNA's main event scene is face heavy. What better way to put them to good use than by bringing in a monster face who is more over than them all? Build him up as the big fish in a small pond from the start. Just an old school monster. Let him have the title. He can put on a fine match with the right guys. Use him to bring everyone he faces to another level. Like the Dudleys with the tag division, taking this monster veteran that no one in TNA has seen anything like before to the limit automatically brings the guys he face up. Even if he beats them.
The Great Khali: Like XL and Noid said, this is mainly a Ring Ka King thing. Wrestling is treated much differently in India. There won't be as much of an issue with "How the fuck do we pull a good wrestling match out of this guy?" as WWE has. It won't matter. Also because of the fact that he's already super over in India apparently. He can come in for random appearances in TNA still too if there's a story that somehow fits a giant just coming in to look intimidating and ultimately losing.
Evan Bourne: (See below)
Justin Gabriel: If TNA really wants to make the X-Division consistently revolving around high flyers (Like I think they should), these two would be HUGE. WWE isn't a good place for them in the long term. They'll be there to put on good matches on Superstars or NXT, or they can get thrown into the shitty tag division with some random partner who's in the same boat. Ideally, I'd be working on that random pairing thing not being necessary for the tag division though. So they'd be of much better use in what amounts to TNA's cruiserweight division. Let TNA be the showcase for that.
Trent Barreta: He can work in the X-Division AND he's got a factor I like about him. While Bourne feels like someone just made to work in a major company's cruiserweight division and Gabriel seems like the same thing but maybe with the ability to just flirt with the upper card, Barreta seems like a guy who could be in that crowd but can break out at any moment and play with the big boys in the main event albeit as the underdog. The WWE is just stacked with too many guys who are ahead on the list as far as potential goes. I'd send him to TNA and see what he can do. Worst case scenario, he doesn't make it that big and he ends up as just one of those awesome X-Division wrestlers. Not much to lose.
