WWE Wrestlers who you think could 'MAKE IT' in ROH
I don't know, bored and I thought of this thread. Alright, name any current WWE wrestlers who you think could 'make it' and get over with the smarky ROH fans.
Ignore the obvious ones like Paul London, Brian Kendrick, CM Punk, Jamie Noble and Jimmy Wang Yang who have already wrestled there time and time again, and proven their worth to the ROH fans countless times. So name whoever and state why you think they would make it in Ring of Honor and we can comment whether we agree or disagree with your pick(s). ----- I'll go first and get the VERY obvious one off the list. CHRIS BENOIT He would be treated like an absolute God if he ever showed up to wrestle at an ROH event. The countless great matches he's produced in Japan, ECW, WCW, WWF and WWE alone pretty much guarentees that Chris Benoit could 'do no wrong' in the eyes of ROH fans. Add on to the fact that the man can still 'go' and is THE best technical wrestler in the world today. There would be no reason in the world why Benoit would not 'make it' in ROH. |

Nah, I meant are we saying this as tho they never wrestled on WWE television, or in this scenario do they retain they're recognition.
For instance, if Angle debuted in there and they knew nothing about him, he'd have to get over. However from what they know about him in WWE, they'd mark out like schoolgirls before he ever set foot in the ring. |

I think Edge would be huge their, not only because he's a great wrestler as it is, and not only because he'd have insentive to let loose more often. But also because of his tremendous persona and mic skills, plus in WWE hes a medium size guy, in ROH he'd be their HHH.

I think Sylvan is a great talent. He could be big if he was treated right.
Obviously, Flair, Michaels, Hunter, and JBL would be beyond over anywhere... |

Yeah, I completely agree. I think Edge would absolutely tear it up in ROH too. There would definitely be some great match oppertunities/feuds there between a lot of the top guys there. |

Edge is a guy who will never have to worry about having a job as long as he wrestles. Theres always a place for a guy like him. I don't think enough can be said about how much he really can deliver in a match or a promo or a fued if the WWE would consistently allowed him to. He has all the potential to be a long standing main eventer and top heel.
But yea, back to the convo... |

However, there is no way JBL would make it in Ring of Honor. I think the fans would probably boycott the event if JBL was even advertised or JBL would manage to get aboslutely shit on worse than what occured with Jeff Hardy's ROH debut. Don't get me wrong, I think JBL is awesome on the mic and solid in the ring with the right opponents, but ROH fans wouldn't even give him the time of day. |

Mr. JL, what happened with Jeff Hardy's debut? I have seen ROH but I don't regularly follow it and I was probably away from wrestling when this happened.

yea I never could dig JBL in the ring, but it absolutely didn't matter. I got to like his character and promos so much that he became extremely entertaining to me. And thats what it's all about. JBL is entertaining.
Big thumbs up to JBL. |

Oh, and they were also chanting "Go Get Help" in reference to his rumoured drug problems at the time and there were a fair amount of "We Want Matt" chants too.

This is easy. After WWE buys them out, ALL of the wwe guys will make it. If you don't like it, the wwe will alienate you until a new audience who does takes your place.

Orton would not make it.
Flair would cause people to go nuts for an appearance, but wouldn't get over wrestling. Edge, Carlito, Shelton, HBK, Kenny, and a decent amount of the young talent could, in theory, get over. |

Shelton, no matter how bad on the mic he is he'd still be better on it than Roderick
The old school guys like Regal and Benoit would be welcomed with 200000000 streamers Gregory Helms and Val would work, I actually want to see Helms interact with Delirious for some reason... Edge would be good for a weekend, kinda like what Christian did. I would die happy seeing Benoit vs. American Dragon that or Dean Malenko vs. Homicide |

Yeah, given the reaction Randy Orton got at ECW One Night Stand and the simularities that exist between ECW and ROH fans, its a safe bet that Randy Orton wouldn't make it in ROH.

James 'Little Guido/Nunzio' Maritato would be great in ROH. That Pure Wrestling Championship of theirs is custom made for him. In fact I have been hoping Maritato would go to ROH for sometime as the WWE is doing nothing with him, and it pissed me off when they fired Tony Mamaluke!

Chris Jericho is one of those guys who would EASILY make it in Ring of Honor. Like Inovator said, 2000000000 streamers
