I'm not against Husky Harris or anything, but I just can't stand it when guys that are second or third generation don't get to acknowledge it. Even more frustrating is when they do, but then play an entirely irrelevant character. Bring in Husky Harris with his new character, by all means, but why not have him use the "Rotundo" name? Am I alone in being so frustrated by that?

A lot of the guys you mentioned, Vito, would be great for NXT. Seth Rollins, who is amazing in the ring, would get a lot from being able to work alongside Tyson Kidd. Dean Ambrose getting a pass straight to either RAW or SmackDown! would probably be better for him, but if they wanted to make NXT mean something, have Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose debut against each other in an "NXT tryout match." Rollins wins that cleanly and then the following week, Ambrose runs out in street clothes and shoves Rollins off the top rope in a match against JTG or something. Cue awesome Ambrose vs. Rollins feud, until something opens up for one or both on the main rosters.

Xavier Woods would be pretty fun on NXT. I'm not sure how the guy is as a promo. For some reason, I think Richie Steamboat would find a better place on SmackDown! than NXT, but I would not be against him showing up and having a few matches. Kassius Ohno could actually thrive on NXT, but I do get the point about him being better off on SmackDown! or RAW from the start.

I'd kind of mark out if Byron Saxton came in as a representative of a different agency to A.W., and the two agencies went to war. Saxton's group would be the babyfaces, and then he could speak for Tyson Kidd. Conor O'Brian isn't ready for RAW or SmackDown! yet, and could be an interesting addition on NXT. Perhaps he and Ezekiel Jackson could be the "backstage enforcers" Regal is looking for?

Bo Rotundo has been travelling with the SmackDown! roster -- so he's a possibility. Bo is the youngest talent in the WWE, I believe. He's got quite a good look and is apparently a fairly talented guy. He might not be ready for the big leagues, but a few matches on NXT against Johnny Curtis would do the man good. I don't know why they just don't put the Rotundo brothers together as a tag team, though.

Oh, and although I don't like Eli Cottonwood as an in-ring talent or a character, his size alone makes him a bit of a spectacle. A while ago I had this idea that Cottonwood could return under a mask. Call him "Monolith" or something. In my original idea, Michael Cole would manage him claiming to have found "the next breakout star." For all the hate Cole gets, he's over as a heel (even if his act has dialled down), and he's a good speaker. People might actually tune in for a 7'0, 313lbs masked man Chokeslamming people on NXT.

I always thought that Cottonwood looked a bit like a clown too, however. You could put a giant clown outfit on him and have him terrorise children like a Monster Evil Doink.

It could just be the mustache promo and how awkward he is but Eli Cottonwood is not nearly as intimidating to me as he should be for a man his size.

Benoit was so unlikable on the mic. Even as a face. Hated him.

Atleast Kidd comes off as laid back and not so annoying with the "look at my puffy neck, so angry!" thing Benoit had.

Trying to understand how all these vanilla midgets are any different from the vanilla midgets gertner usually hates.

To be fair, Gertner does seem to call all small white guys "vanilla midgets" regardless of whether they're under contract with WWE. (CM Punk, Daniel Bryan...)

And Punk has proven that he can headline short-term. I think once that's accomplished, it shows that good booking could lead to him getting over long-term. Do some require better booking than others? Sure. But he's certainly capable.

Daniel Bryan on the other hand...

I mean, I'm of the belief that most guys with at least SOMETHING going for them could headline with amazing booking. I can't fathom what it would take for Daniel Bryan to be a headliner. It would take a ridiculously magic formula to me.

Punk had the tools though.

Punk and Bryan are both main eventers. Maybe not headliners, but they are main eventers. Daniel Bryan is the perfect heel you want making your top stars look good.
