I think us in the C-Fed know the real reason you want Heyman to pick Matt Morgan, Loopy.
My pick for the next Paul Heyman Guy would actually be a two-fer: Brodus Clay and Tensai. Heyman's already got a midcard singles competitor with Axel, and a main-event draw with BRRRRROCK LLLLEEESNARRRRR, so why not take a crack at the tag team division? Brodus and Albert are two big huge guys who have pretty brutal movesets and could probably be built up as a good monster team if they drop the goofy dancing gimmick (which is redundant now that Fandango's around anyway). Plus, back in the day A-Train was one of Heyman's clients, so maybe he could turn to Paul for advice in the middle of a losing streak, then Paul could reinvent them as his way into taking over the tag team scene. |

Nah. Morgan goes over Punk and Seymour in an epic encounter that sees him get Punk to tap out to the Nagata Lock after looking at him angrily. Afterwards, Morgan and Rey put aside their differences and form a new stable with a debuting Abyss. Maybe Jeff Hardy, too.

My first thought on the next Paul Heyman Guy was Johnny Curtis. The man oozes charisma, but could use some "evolution" to take him to the next level. The dancing shtick doesn't even need to be dropped entirely. He can keep the outrageous outfits and his on-air alliance with Summer Rae, who becomes the first "Paul Heyman Girl." Rae's a pretty good heel and she could have a nice little Divas Championship run.
I've thought that Tensai & Brodus Clay would make great Paul Heyman Guys in the past. Everything Nowhere Man said about these guys is correct. They'd be more naturally suited to being a heel team. Call them "The Wrecking Balls" or something like that. They could dump The Funkadactyls (or maybe Naomi could turn heel and also align, although that might clash with Summer Rae if Curtis also joins). Matt Morgan would be a good choice, and he's also got a past with Heyman. Now that Ryback is aligned with Heyman, I'm not sure if bringing in Morgan to the group is such a good idea though. Kofi Kingston (shocking heel turn) and Zack Ryder are two other guys I've thought about joining Heyman recently too. Kofi would be a more serious one, but Ryder joining Heyman would make sense. Zack works better in the ring as a heel, and it suits him to try and get himself noticed like Curtis Axel did. Ryder can be the whipping boy of the group, and be the one who takes most of the beat-downs and is there to make guys like Axel and the re-branded Johnny Curtis look "heavy." |

So here's my complete list of Paul Heyman's Guys and Girls:
Brock Lesnar - The part-timer who never fights for free. Paul Heyman's cash-cow and most sacred project. Ryback - The "Next Big Thing" as Heyman sees it. A man he sees an a imminent contender for the WWE Title. Curtis Axel - The "future of professional wrestling" as Paul Heyman sees it. His reliable, talented, athletic workhorse. Johnny Newname - The former Fandango who changes his ring name and gets a little darker when he aligns with Heyman. If Ryback is chasing the WWE Title, this guy is chasing the World Heavyweight Title, and vice versa. Summer Rae - She comes with the Fandango package. Having a sexy blonde accompany Paul Heyman Guys to the ring just seems right. She could also be a postulated contender to the Divas Championship, but there might be a better choice for that. Tensai - He could possibly change his name back to A-Train for this reunion with Paul Heyman. He's brought in as a contender for the Tag Team Championship, but Heyman can also use his skill and experience to mentor some of the younger members under his wing. Brodus Clay - He doubles as security for the group and as a tag team competitor. Being on the road with Axel and Tensai will allow for Clay to theoretically improve as a potential monster for Heyman. Naomi - She turns on Cameron and joins the re-branded Tons of Funk under Heyman's care. I can just imagine Heyman talking about Naomi's unique athleticism that no other Diva can match. She'd bring the Divas Championship to Camp Heyman. Zack Ryder - Sick of being ignored, Ryder offers his services to Heyman and finds himself easily manipulated by the evil genius. He does a lot of run-ins and takes a lot of beat-downs, before eventually developing a thing for Summer Rae, which leads to Fandango beating the shit out of Ryder. Heyman stills sees uses for Ryder, and wants Fandango to let him stay around, but Ryder turns on the group there before he eventually gets beaten on PPV by Fandango. |

Think, if they are serious about tag wrestling, WGTT would be a good call. An experienced tag team that could have great matches at that level.
From a business stand point, however, I think the best answer would be a charismatic, dependable masked wrestler. Sin Cara has not worked out because of his botches and lack of personality, but I think a guy like La Sombra or El Hijo coming in, getting built up and then going over Misterio at Mania would be great for business long term. Like him or not, Rey moves merchandise consistently, not to mention his appeal to the Latino market. A new lucha star would be great for business. |

Don't know if any roster needs any major improvements. Might be cool if Ken Kennedy could get another shot of WWE fame, but I don't know if he'll be a game-changer.
Not sure if TNA can get another major star nor should they. They needed to streamline the product to keep Dixie's parents happy. Still not sure if the company will exist when Mr. Carter dies. Heard reports that Dixie's mom was pushing for these major cuts. Maybe the cuts will please her enough to keep the company even without TNA's "Ted Turner" so to speak. If they can get anybody on the cheap maybe somebody like Jake Carter. Not really sure he showed all he could do in NXT but that might be good for TNA. He certainly couldn't be worse than Jay "I was in WWE for a Month" Bradley. Carter is the son of Vader and maybe that could get Vader involved in the production and he could be a manager for Carter and maybe feud with Hogan and some young wrestler Hogan could train. |

Can't really see too many guys moving the needle in WWE. There are a few I would like to see given another shot. One I can see being quite successful is Matt Morgan. Another who I sometimes think about is Kaval. Yeah, he kind of left in a huff last time, but now that little indy guys get better shots, maybe he'd be more patient? His stuff could get so over in the WWE, and he's not actually bad on the mic.
Chris Masters for either promotion. The guy was just getting good. The thing is, he had two wellness strikes against him name. But so do Randy Orton, R-Truth and Rey Mysterio. TNA would be foolish to not try and get Masters on board with their product. Kharma/Awesome Kong is another that I think would be a huge gain for either WWE or TNA. That chick is fucking good. She's got something credible about her that just makes you want to see her kill bitches dead. TNA, in general, should focus on their Knockout Division. They got Alissa Flash to work their Knockout PPV -- sign her the fuck up. Mickie James is now a free agent, so the WWE could give her another shot. She's hot, can wrestle, can talk and a crazy bitch vs. crazy bitch feud with AJ Lee could be pretty fun. Really want to see some of the women out there that can wrestle be given a shot in the WWE. Victoria, Beth Phoenix and Katie Lea returning would all get me hard. Saraya Knight being brought in by Stephanie McMahon to make Paige's life hard is basically a dream storyline for me. Scarlet Bordeaux is gorgeous and would a viable commodity to either promotion, but I actually think her whole slutty character would be better in TNA, who should also pick up The Blossom Twins. TNA should also focus on tag teams. If they can sign Alex Shelley to team with Chris Sabin again, and somehow sign The Briscoes and The American Wolves, you can just throw them in tag team matches against each other and always have something solid on your show. I've wanted to see Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas brought back as a tag team in the WWE for some time. Again, won't move the needle, but would make for some fun television. |

To explain Hogan leaving TNA, I'd like it if Ted DiBiase, Jr. somehow "bought" the company from Dixie Carter and become some sort of spoiled rich-kid heel who hangs around the main event scene. I don't think that idea would draw or anything, but I think that it would freshen TNA up some.

I would love to see Carlito back. TNA are foolish if they do not try and get him. He could literally slip into any division they have pretty seamlessly. Carlito as X-Division Champion could be a lot of fun.

If TNA could convince him somehow to unretire or join them, Jim Ross. Would be a big improvement for commentary and has a lot of experience as a talent scout/advisor.
The WWE already hinted they aren't interested in any TNA free agents but a few of the Knocksouts released could help beef up the Divas division until the ones on NXT are ready. |

Taeler Hendrix would be a great addition to WWE NXT. Victoria could be a main roster Diva almost instantly, as could Mickie James, Katie Lea and Serena (if they would be willing to give her another shot). I would love to see the WWE give Cheerleader Melissa a chance in the WWE. She'd make a great instant rival to Paige.
