Let's say you can sign any 5 wrestlers.....

So let's say you started your own professional wrestling company, had more or less "limitless funds" and could sign any main stream active professional wrestler today. Who would be your first five wrestlers you would announce and why would you sign each one?

Cena (top star that all the young bucks are striving to replace)
Ryback (monster face and top non-heel rival to Cena)
If he counts CM Punk (top heel)
Bray Wyatt (tweener leaning toward heel)
Dean Ambrose (tweener underdog)

If Punk doesn't count then Sheamus takes his place.

Gonna just quote those two because I'd pick them as well for the same reasons listed. Like him or not, Cena is the most over man in wrestling and will attract viewers out of the gate. Ryback will go back to how he was in 2012 before they horribly botched things up.

Also:

Sami Zayn: Consistently over babyface that can always work a great match and who the crowd loves. Can float around the top of the card and maybe even get a run with the title at some point even if he never necessarily becomes the "face of the company". Would have penciled in Bryan for this role if not for the injuries.

Bad News Barrett: I've always loved this guy. He's probably never going to get past the midcard in WWE due to getting injured at some of the worst possible moments, but I'd happily take a flyer on him as the top heel right out of the gate. A Cena/Barrett feud where Cena actually takes him seriously would be good.

Dean Ambrose: Can work in any role and, again, work great matches. Probably would start him off as an unhinged heel, could so some wonderful promo work right out of the gate.

Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) - Top Heel/Monster
Ryback - Top Face/Monster
Randy Orton - Main Event Face
Wade Barrett - Main Event Heel
Kevin Owens - Midcard Heel

... If Punk returned, swap him with Barrett. Honorable mentions go to Ziggler, Rollins, and Cesaro. Divas would start with Paige, Charlotte, and Natty.

If I was to do it "realistically" taking into account age, injuries/"body state" etc, it'd probably be a bit different, Okada is the only "cert"

I just expected for someone to chime in with their stupid comments as usual about Japanese wrestling.

I was just getting it out of the way for them.

Cena - Start right off with a big marketable star for the initial period.
Sami Zayn - Groomed to be the future big star
Paige - Focal point of the Women's division
Rusev - Top heel
Cesaro - Showcase for the mid-card


Was considering Rollins over Rusev but Rollins works way better at the moment when attached to something (ex. Shield, Authority, J&J Security) than on his own.

Brock Lesnar - THE BEAST INCARNATE/comes with built in Heyman
Bray Wyatt - Super Heelius Maximus
Dean Ambrose - Psycho tweener who just wants to cause a little chaos.
Dolph Ziggler - The Face of the company. Great skills in ring and on mic and limitless charisma.
Finn Balor - Up and coming face with a bit of extra wow factor. Leaning kind of towards being a tweener, but still mostly a face.

You say that, but you need to look, at all angles before you post or ask why I do what I do.

The question was to start a promotion that I feel would draw money. I chose those guys because they are young enough to be there for a lengthy period while still have some star power. They have proven themselves in every role as a heel, face, tag team, etc.

I chose two divas to build a nice rivalry until I would add more women to the fold. I'm looking at having a main, tag, and diva title in my promotion and people to support each division.

If your promotion doesn't have a women's division or it's not a priority for you than so be it.

Sami Zayn - Top Face #1
Cesaro - Top Face #2
Jim Ross - Best Announcer of all-time to make everyone's shit that much better simply by talking

Another "top 5" for me

Neville- Top Babyface
Bray Wyatt- Top heel
Uhaa Nation- Body/ powerhouse
Austin Aries- Tweener / "bad boy"
King Cuerno- Cunning heel (It was between him and Alberto, but I just love Cuerno's "style" in the ring)

You can't have a promotion with only five wrestlers, so I'm assuming that these are just my locks, cornerstones and probably the hardest five guys to sign.

1. John Cena
2. Brock Lesnar
3. Dolph Ziggler
4. Cesaro
5. Sami Zayn

Cena and Lesnar would be my attention-grabbers. I almost put Orton in there, but I feel that if people aren't going to tune in for Cena and Lesnar in a new company, then nothing will make them watch.

Ziggler is being signed in place of Orton, because he has got some star potential, and I think the idea of Dolph Ziggler being "freed' could gather some IWC headlines and even create a stir within the mainstream audience (if it exists). Plus, the guy's got a pretty radical real name even if I can't use his work one.

Cesaro is there because I fucking love the guy. I know he might not be seen by people as a "big name signing," but I really do feel like watching him is one of the most thrilling things you can do as a wrestling fan. Matches against anyone on that list are bound to steal the show. I don't want to risk missing him and then Vince making him a star in rebuke to me, once I took his Cena draw away from him. I want Claudio Castagnoli wrestling matches in my company.

Sami Zayn is my last choice. A few others flew through me mind -- Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper and even Roman Reigns -- but Zayn seems to be on good terms with the WWE, and again, if I miss him, then I will absolutely kick myself. His chemistry with Cesaro alone is enough reason to want him on my show. If I just did a one-hour launch show and had Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler and Cesaro vs. Sami Zayn as the two matches, I'd feel like I would have a Show of the Year candidate on my hands. Zayn can talk, and is a unique face presence in that he is lovable, but he isn't a push-over. Cena could believably turn heel against the guy and everyone would still cheer for Zayn.

Ideally, TNA would then fold and I could bring in Kurt Angle, Austin Aries and Bobby Lashley, but you know...

Still wondering if The Rock, Brock, and Cena are the obvious Top 3 choices?

Still wondering if The Rock, Brock, and Cena are the obvious Top 3 choices?

As much as we say stuff like, "Oh, I'd sign Rollins, Ambrose, etc., etc," I think a solid argument can be made that the Top 3 guys you sign should still be:


-John Cena
-The Rock
-Brock Lesnar


Why? Because - star power. Period. Cena owns the kid demographic, while The Rock is a Hollywood star. Lesnar is also a star in his own right.


As much as we'd want our Top 5 to be something like, "Rollins, Ambrose, Zayn," or whoever, the truth of the matter is that said promotion would have a difficult time even taking off if your immediate Top 5 signings was something to that effect.
