WWE's solution to competition if TNA gets big...

**Somebody's Gotta Die** · 09-06-2005, 07:00 PM

I think that if TNA becomes a legitimate contender to WWE, there is only one thing to do and that is to make one roster of talent without so many useless titles...

In a World vs. WWE title match, I'd love to see someone like Kurt Angle win it or someone like Shelton Benjamin down the road... This definitely builds a future star instantaneously...

There should be a title for title match involving both the IC and US champions... A great place to do this would be WrestleMania with two guys like Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio...

The tag-team titles should also be decided in a World vs. WWE tag unification match... The winner of this one should be Regal and Burchill...

The women's title should be scrapped altogether as well... There is no longer an interest in women's wrestling especially since all the women that could work a match have seemingly been released... A lot of these useless divas can definitely be released, I think...

This is the roster I had in mind:

Main Event Active Veterans
Shawn Michaels - although another run from him is deserved, beyond a shadow of a doubt
The UnderTaker - I suppose he could win the big one again before retiring
Triple H - keep him in the title hunt along with Taker & HBK, but they should put others over

Legends
Ric Flair - it's always a good idea to keep this entertaining guy around
Mick Foley - put this guy on TV occasionally and it's not bad
Steve Austin - a final match is definitely due in the not-so-distant future
The Rock - I can't wait for him to come back for another run in the ring
Hulk Hogan - even if he comes back in a while, he'll be back

Other Veterans
Big Show - not quite a legend, but no star of the future, that's for sure
Kane - much like Taker, it seems as though his best days are gone, I'd love to see another good run though
Booker T - not much of a legend either, at least not in WWE, but he deserves a last big match or run before retiring
Hardcore Holly - meh, he's been around a while

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Contenders
Batista
John Cena
Kurt Angle
Brock Lesnar
Randy Orton
Chris Benoit
Eddie Guerrero
JBL
Chris Jericho - if he's not in TNA

WWE Intercontinental Championship Contenders
Shelton Benjamin - this guy has to get a title run down the road
Rob Van Dam - should definitely get a title run down the road, won't happen
Christian - another one that needs a major push, but is seemingly drifting
Muhammad Hassan - this man "must" make a return, he's main event material
Chris Masters - he's not absolute death people, his push has been tolerable
Carlito
Rey Mysterio
Chavo Guerrero
CM Punk
Edge

Other Potential Contenders Down The Road
Rob Conway
Damaja
Doug Basham
Ken Kennedy
Tyson Tomko
Rene Dupree
Matt Striker
Johnny Parisi
Brian Black, a.k.a. Palmer Cannon

- some of these guys can definitely make tag combinations if they are not involved in any significant feuds or angles

WWE World Tag-Team Championship Contenders
LOD - Roadwarrior Animal & Heidenreich (once the run is over, release both)
MNM - Johnny Nitro & Joey Mercury
Heart Throbs - Romeo & Antonio
TNT - Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch
bWo - Nova & Stevie Richards
FBI - Big Guido & Big Vito
Thrillseekers - Capotelli & Jeter (we'll have to wait and see to judge)
Blonde Bombers - Chad & Tank Toland (we'll have to wait and see to judge)
Highlanders - Robby & Rory McAllister (we'll have to wait and see to judge)
Viscera & Val Venis -

just in hope of keeping Venis around
William Regal & Paul Birchall - these guys are godly
Danny Doring & Roadkill - adds a little something to the division
Balls Mahoney & Axl Rotten - adds a great touch to the division

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Contenders
Paul London
Spanky
Jamie Noble
Yoshihiro Tajiri
Nunzio
The Hurricane
Kid Kash
Juventud Guerrera
Super Crazy
Psicosis
Funaki - you need a jobber cruiser

Release
Matt Hardy - burial has killed him
Eugene - gimmick has killed him
Gene Snitsky
Orlando Jordan
Sylvain Grenier
Rosey
Scotty 2 Hotty
+ lots of the development talent that doesn't get over
+ some of the "potential" contenders that don't make progress

This would be an ideal roster to make up one of the most talented group of workers in the history of the company working on one show to make it hot, as opposed to two brands within the company competing against one another...

With shows like this to counter programming featuring guys like Raven, Rhino, Sabu, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Petey Williams, Jerry Lynn, Ultimo Dragon and others, wrestling could certainly get very interesting again...
