Honestly, I think they need to go the other way. They need people that look the part. Even with how checkered a past as Lars Sullivan has, that dude looks like a 1980's heel wrestler.
Is he going to move the needle with us jaded decades long fans, probably not one bit. But that's the kind of thing that can build a new fanbase.
A scary looking unstoppable monster eventually gets taken down by a good guy the kids can get into.
Adam Cole on the other hand, a bad guy with a faction, we established fans can see workrate and all that and appreciate his work, but a 6 year old kid seeing wrestling for the first time isn't getting hooked on Adam Cole vs Johnny Gargano.
