I've been hoping for an MNM (Matthews, Nitro, Melina) tag team in the WWE for a long time. Not being familiar with Joey Matthews (who worked in ECW and OMEGA, which is the fed that was run by Matt Hardy, I think) I assumed Johnny Nitro teamed with Danny Inferno since their names have a similiar feel. Silly me.
Inferno's a good talent to bring up, as it says on OVW he has 12 years experience. At least you don't need to worry about inexperience with him. I can easily see him as a character that was "too good for 12 years" and he finally agreed to lower his bargaining price, just so he can come in and show the WWE "talent" how it's done.
Mike Mondo appeared on Velocity recently against Heidenreich as "Mike Mundo". He could be a decent talent for the cruiserweight division, but they should wait until they are absolutely sure he can handle it. Maybe give him some dark matches against Juventud Guerra, Psichosis, Super Crazy, etc. when they are brought in.
Mac Johnson is a rookie with potential. He sort of reminds me of Carlito Caribbean Cool fused with Orando Jordan. Give him a few years to perfect himself down in OVW, and you could have a great talent on your hands.
Mike Taylor is another rookie, so I'd give him a while before he's brought in.
Steve Lewington is talented from what I hear. I wouldn't mind seeing William Regal & Tajiri lose the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania to Chris Masters & Gene Snitsky, only for William Regal to use his contractual rematch to face them again. Regal not having any other tag team partner tackles them alone, and manages to sneak out a victory. Regal then plays a solo World Tag Team Champion, maybe with The Coach added by Bischoff until he can find a new partner. Eventually Steve Lewington comes in to help Regal, but Willie doesn't want his help, and we have a younger guy trying to impress the older guy storyline, finally leading to William Regal & Steve Lewington finally joining forces to become the most dominant tag team in the WWE.
Kevin Fertig and Matt Morgan are decent, IMO, but they should work alone. Bring in Kevin Fertig as Seven, and bring in Matt Morgan as a rookie with all the talent in the world. Morgan could play an interesting face in the mid-card. I'd put Seven on RAW, and Morgan on SmackDown!. I suppose you could have Morgan come in as his masked character named Blueprint. Give him a manager as well.
The Heartbreakers are awesome from what I saw on the edition of Heat they faced The Hurricane & Rosey on. I would personally bring them up to RAW as soon as possible. Maybe a manager for them, since that really is something missing form today's WWE.
The Dudleys should come back as "The Dudley Boyz". I personally think it's a much better name for them. Anyway, I'd try and give them an extreme gimmick, and have them let loose on the One Night Stand PPV. Then they might retain some of that heat and can give little smirks to the crowd, just to remind us.
I'd put them on SmackDown!, since if you put some heels together on RAW, and brought in The Heartbreakers, you'd areayd have a decent heel scene on RAW. SD! would benefit more from their presence anyway.
