One person to come to WWE and take the WWE/WH Championship in their first match...
Is there anyone who has never been in WWE who you think could come in, take the title in their first match and make it work?

I'd ask the same for TNA, but there is a ridiculous amount of names who could do it. But if you want, go ahead.

Hmm not sure
Maybe Samoa Joe if they book him like Lesnar? There's probably some guys from Japan but I dont know how well they would be received with the WWE audience.

Sting is the person best known who’s never been in WWE it would work with. It’s just a matter of whether Vince McMahon would allow it.

If WWE done something like debut Sting and have him win it right away in his first appearance, it would work. It would be even better the first few weeks after to see other wrestlers complaining about what happened and having a problem with it.

Sting could be over and would definitely work. WWE would sell masks like hotcakes, and the audience would know him enough to make it work if it happened.

Sting is probably the person best known to the WWE audience who has never been in WWE.

That is the only reason.

I'm not saying it would be a good idea, or would work, but he is the one it would most likely work with.

Sting is the obvious answer. Maybe Tanaka, reason being that he is a former ECW champion and they own archive footage of him. But probably only Sting.

I don't think so at this time.

Sting is the only one I could really argue, but I still don't think he would be able to do it. I don't think WWE would stand for it. Even a few years ago I don't think they'd have done it, and he's less popular and recognizable now with the younger crowd.

But at this stage in the game he's really the only big star who hasn't been in the WWE anyways. At one point or another, all of the WCW names came through.
Actually, I would argue that at not point in the wrestling business has there ever even been anyone who could do this, except for one.

Think about it. Everyone in WCW who was a major main eventer had pretty much already been so in WWF at one point beforehand. A guy like Booker T came into WWE red hot, but he couldn't win the title in his first appearance.

Goldberg could have done it. It's just a matter of whether Vince would allow it, and as we saw he didn't.

If WWE had done something like debut Goldberg at the Royal Rumble, and have him win it, I would have bought it.

Then if he were to challenge Stone Cold at that Wrestlemania, and they had a title match, I'd be really curious to see what the outcome was.

I think it would be stupid for a promotion to have Goldberg win the title right away though. The guys whole value is building a streak and chasing the title. Once he wins it, he's reached a dead end as a character. He can have a short run but there's not much to get behind from that point on. He's all hype and momentum.

Repeat title wins and reigns aren't as exciting, and I can't remember Goldberg ever doing anything of value that didn't pertain to titles and winning streaks.
He was never able to pull off heel, or take part in fueds built around something character driven. You would hope a talent had some flexibility, and could lose a match here or there without becoming boring.

According to wikipedia he's only 6'. I remember thinking he was way bigger than that. Could be that the ECW roster was just smaller though.

If we go that route, they can't be former world champions, to keep within the spirit of the thread. The idea is something new and unexpected.

In that case, Giant Bernard (a-train)

He put on some good matches for a big man, at the tail end of his WWE run. Since then, he has continued to improve, and his work in Japan has been phenomenal.

I was just going to speculate about Brock Lesnar, despite being off any and all WWE programming for 6 years now.

I really think that if they got him back he could win the title in his first appearance back and it would work more than well

Rhyno might be able to pull it off.

Nevermind that giving the title to someone on day one is a stupid idea. It makes everyone else look weak. Make the guy win the Rumble, instead, as Jeritron suggested. The ratings are in the journey, not the result.

He puts on good matches, yes. But people hardly bought him as an Intercontinental Champion.
How would he come in and make a world title reign work?

I would love to see someone who's never been in the WWE, or at least hasn't been in the WWE for years, to make a suprise debut at the Rumble and win.

The build to that Wrestlemania would be really great. It would be even better the night and first few weeks after the rumble to see the other wrestlers complaining about what happened, and seeing them settle into their show with such a big splash.

They could get 5-6 weeks of amazing programming just out of having that person checking out the brands, and getting a feel for which champion they want to face. All of the other top wrestlers having a problem with it, and the on-air authority figure trying to straighten out the mess would be gold.

I wonder how "over" Sting would be if he was to debut in the WWE today. Look at Bret Hart's reactions, it really shows that a huge portion of the audience is not all that familiar with mid-90s guys.

I agree with this. I think Sting could be pretty over, but he'd have to be re-established by WWE and they could work their magic on him for the current audience.
He'd definitely work though. WWE would sell Sting masks and facepaint kits like hotcakes.

Tomko and D'lo came to mind. Not really sure how I'd try to make that work, though.

So the two I put don't fit the whole mold, but they weren't World Champions at least.

This one seems super random (probably is), but I'm gonna go for it anyway.

My idea kinda revolves around a Ted Jr. face turn. Million Dollar Man comes out and runs down his son for not "following in dad's footsteps" by using his name/riches to get ahead. He brings in someone who will do what he did years ago (buy it): Robert Roode.

It could work because Roode is good in the ring and the stick, and can generate heat (I think so, anyway). Plus, I think the audience would know him enough to make it work.

If he did come back I would hope he would have a manager and use a name that isn't Albert or A-Train. He got better in the ring and had a unique look, but Albert to A-Train is like going from Viscera to Big Daddy V. Gimmick-wise it's a lateral move.
