Which of these "heatseakers" would you hire into a promotion?
Choose any one (but ONLY one) of these that are under the radar and state the reason:
Brock Lesner Vince Russo (haven't been watching TNA lately, but don't think he has any on air roles right now) Goldberg Syxx-Pac (Sean Waltman) Lex Luger Scott Hall (That's all I can think of right now, so choose any one of these guys and say why). ![]() |

Lesnar. He's a damn good wrestler, he's got the big-burly-man look that WWE loves, and he's not over the hill like the other choices.

Brock Lesnar. He was the corner stone of the Smackdown! brand.

Brock Lesnar, easily. The man is a great worker, and was the last guy that was actually pushed like a star, and felt like it.

I'd actually go with Waltman on this one. Brock left the business of his own accord. He didn't want to continue. Waltman on the other hand still wants to wrestle and can work. He'd be decent in the cruiserweight division as a heel and could probably work with Chavo, Rey, Finlay, etc. on Smackdown.
Plus, after his "encounter" with Chyna, SmackDown can finally get that bisexual gimmick they've been craving. |

Brock Lesnar is still young and can go in the ring. If he can get his head out of his ass, he'd be a great guy to have in a company.
Luger is too old and shitty. Goldberg is only in it for the money, and a whiney bitch. X-Pac is really fucking annoying and no one would care about him anymore. Scott Hall is too old, fat, and addicted. Russo was terrible as an on air personality. And a terrible writer. |

Brock Lesnar sucked, he ring work was decent at best, and posessed little to no mic skills, just thought I would say that.

If Scott Hall would get in shape, then it would be him. Even then, I'd probably bring him in and snatch Nash away from TNA. They wouldn't have to wrestle but they would be on air personalities that would make the current product a hell of a lot more entertaining.

I think it would be gold if they sorta did what TNA is doing with Nash now...Have them take a tag team under their wing and mold them into greatness. I could see this angle working really well with them and the WGTT, could have some hilarious segments.

All Russo needs to be a great person in the industry is a short leash. That's why he was a great writer in the additute era. Vince McMahon kept him in check. WCW, being owned by Turner (this accounts for half the nails in WCW's coffin, so I won't blame Russo for everything wrong with WCW), didn't have the owner overseeing everything. |

Scott Hall. He was always very solid in the ring, and entertaining on the mic. If he has really cleaned himself up, and is focused I could deal with a good mid card run for him in the WWE.

For the record, Tovo is a Russo fan...well...sort of. I think he's a fantastic idea man, just when he's left alone to run things, his ideas get WAY out of hand. If someone is there to monitor Russo, his ideas can be shaped into a fantastic product.

Tovo, when has this ever been proven except WWE 97-98? Nobody knows what ideas were his and what were somebody elses. All his other work shows that he is pretty incompetent when it comes to good wrestling product. I'm not slaming you for liking him, we all have our favorites. Honestly though, he has made some shit.

I'm basis this off of the work done in 97-99, in which he was head writer, and also what people from within the industry have said. Plus some of his ideas in WCW were not terrible, they were just terrible executed. And even at the peak of the horrific car crash that was WCW, that was STILL better than what WWE is throwing against the wall right now. I'm not saying he is perfect, I'm saying that as a writer I have enjoyed a lot of his work, and as an on screen personality, I enjoyed his character...despite how one sided it was.

Russo was behind Austion Vs McMahon
The Corperate Ministry and D-X I could name more, but is there any need, 2 of 3 alone made the WWE millions apoun millions of dollars, and turned the WWE around. |

Russo needs to be a member of a writing staff in which he has to answer to somebody. I don't think he should ever be in charge of booking or the head of the writing staff.

I never really liked Lesnar, and I think he gave birth to the whole idea that anybody who was big and angry looking would instantly = main event superstar.
I will say I prefer Lesnar to Batista, Khali, Henry, Umaga, Cena, etc... |

Brock had some good matches (Angle series, Eddie, Taker HIAC,) He would be a big addition if he ever came back to WWE. So either Brock or Hall because I love Halls charisma and him getting in shape and returning as Razor would be awesome. He could have a Carbbieran feud against Carlito.
