I went with HBK, because too men, while The Rock is the best promo person of the bunch, Shawn Michaels is the best overall as far as Charisma and Wrestling Ability.

Bret. Maybe he can't cut as good of a promo as Rocky or even Austin, but his promos are good and dammit he can wrestle!

Depends on what era of wrestling since a Hogan style character would work well with the PG style of WWE now and during the 1980s while a Rock or Stone Cold character works better with less restrictions.

Hogan would be a good choice if we are talking about today because while Cena has some trouble with selling and promos, Hogan rarely had that problem. Both were also pushed heavily and had kids as their main fanbase.

I went with Austin. I can't see picking anyone else over him.

Hogan can't wrestle, Bret can't talk (honestly I'd prefer Owen if I were taking a Hart), Cena is middle of the road at both, Rock actually bores me to tears with his "insert at least 10 of 14 of my catchphrases into every formulaic promo I cut" crap, I was never an HBK fan... so Trips is probably my second choice. As much as I respect Bruno, if I'm starting a company in 2011, I don't see him drawing like he once did even if we get the westler "in their prime." Totally different era then.

It really depends on the era that I'm starting it in.

I'm going to assume that it's the modern era and everyone is in their prime.

Can't say anything of Bruno as I've seen very little of him, but he likely wouldn't work today.

Bret was never on the level with most people up there in terms of stardom, so he's out.

Cena is an absolute beast just for PR purposes, and he's a workhorse for WWE. He's an amazing team guy. Easily a top pick.

Michaels is hard, because he's had two primes. If it's pre-97 HBK, no way, he's too much trouble. Post-2002, he's a top pick. However, I don't think Michaels could have carried a company on his back. Don't get me wrong, he has "it", but compared to some of the others on this list, he doesn't have as much of "it".

Hunter is a great pick, but it's hard to pick him just because he's injury prone and could be a hassle backstage.

Hogan is a great mouth piece, but in this day and age you have to go at a pace Hogan would never have been able to go at, so he's out.

Austin is a top pick. Awesome in the ring, amazing promos, all around amazing. But I always consider his prime post-neck injury, and that's not a good thing to have on you.

Rock is also a top pick, easily. Promo guy, can go in the ring, and oozes charisma very few can muster up. Probably the most charismatic guy on this list.

Out of all of them, I honestly feel Cena is the best choice. Obviously I don't have hindsight with him so I can't say if what I've seen in terms of his dedication to the business will stick, but he's been busting his ass for 6 years at the top, and does always deliver a great energy. Plus the PR boost is amazing with him, and I think that's the most important thing here, honestly.

Though I will point out that having one face of the company is a VERY bad idea. Having one tippy top guy and EVERYONE below them is a mistake, and I would not run a company that way.

Would have picked Kevin Nash, seeing as he was holding the world title at the biggest peak of wrestling, but without Nash I will go with Stone Cold.

in all seriousness if i were starting a wrestling company and was going to take one man, i would take bobby heenan as he would be the most versatile and valuable guy.
