Most of the talent can probably go. I'd re-hire Dutch Mantel to be my booker, and maybe sign Kevin Sullivan and MSL to supplement him as well. I keep Cornette on call to rip my product apart for any bullshit that goes on.
Some of my first calls regarding talent are probably to Dave Bautista, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio and Kurt Angle guys that have made money elsewhere and are somewhat, sorta, free agents in the wrestling sense. I'd then call guys like Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow and see what they are up to.
I try to put on a product that draws eyeballs enough to get Spike TV to take us back. New ownership and all that. I charge fans to get in, I try and move some fucking merchandise and I eventually want a video game on the market. A good one that gets my fixed roster in people's living rooms.
My philosophy is to keep this shit logical and to focus on accentuating the strengths of talent and hiding their weaknesses. I also want guys that stand out and that give your average wrestling fan a reason to watch. This can be enhanced by captivating stories and rivalries.
You know, a pro-wrestling company.
