If you had to start a promotion with one person from each brand/promotion, who would they be?

I thought this might be a fun little game. You've been tasked by someone -- Vince McMahon, an eccentric billionaire, God, etc. -- to select a core team for a new promotion that will be opening up. They've made it possible for you pluck anyone you want from each major wrestling promotion's roster, but only one person.

You can select people based on whatever criteria you want -- wrestling skill, promo ability, charisma, drawing ability, future gains, etc. You can go as deep as you want, I guess. Eventually the talent won't be recognizable anymore, but feel free to pluck from Lucha Underground, CMLL, AAA, New Japan, etc. RAW, SmackDown and NXT are all counted as separate rosters, so you can select three individuals from under that umbrella, but you can't have, say, John Cena AND Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura AND Samoa Joe or Sasha Banks AND Bayley. You can also sign as many free agents as you want. So feel free to bring in Joey Styles as an announcer, but you will have to include Jim Ross in your magic drafting due to his relationship with New Japan.

I figured this might be a fun discussion for people to talk about who they would base a company around, and it'll be interesting to see if any trends pop-up, and whether it is established talent or fresh talent, or a combo, that is selected.
