if you could take 5 wrestlers.......

[pumpt73]

Samoa Joe. This guy is one of the top 5 workers in all of wrestling today. TNA has put a stupid gimmick on him and I still have a hard time with it. The Nation of Violence???? Where exactly is this "Nation"??? Joe's ROH run is nothing short of awesome. Truly helped to put the company on the map.

AJ Styles. Between him and Joe, this would be a fantastic World Title feud. Both guys are young and well established stars and with AJ, he's steadily gotten better and better.

Tyler Black. Quite possibly one of the most underrated talents in pro wrestling today. I say underrated because he's relatively unknown to the mainstream and that's sad. The kid has nothing but upside.

The Briscoes. I know we're only supposed to pick 5 wrestlers, but Im picking 5 talents. What I hate about wrestling nowdays, is how tag team wrestling has taken a back seat to every individual fleabag on the planet. Tag Team wrestling is a true art form. With Jay and Mark, you have a 5 time ROH World Tag Team championship team. These guys DESERVE a break into a major company and the teamwork is nothing short of awesome. A combo of aerial and ass beating.

Bryan Danielson. Yes another Ring of Honor guy. Danielson, to me, is the best wrestler in the States right now. Another guy who should be in a big company.

As you can see, I would most likely be pushing wrestling over and above entertainment. SUBSTANCE over style.

Honorable mentions: Jack Swagger, The Motor City Machineguns, Christopher Daniels, Evan Bourne, and Tyson Kidd.

AJ Styles: As a heel or as a face, Styles is brilliant

Christopher Daniels: He is the yin to Styles' yang, the polar opposite. Out of all the rivalries in professional wrestling that I've seen over the years, their's was one of my favorites. Again, heel or face.

CM Punk: Can work a great match with just about anyone. Hell, he made JBL somewhat watchable. Plus, I've always wanted to see Punk vs. Daniels.

Shawn Michaels: The veteran who can make the up-and-comers look like a million bucks.

Shelton Benjamin/Charlie Haas: Either one, or both. Both guys are great tag team wrestlers. Either one would be a great start to a tag team division.

[BIGBRIAN]

1. Kurt Angle - The Veteran who works hard, can wrestle and will help the
others. Excellent heel and good face.

2. Chris Jericho - THE MAN!

3. A.J Styles - Alot of potential and a great match performer

4. Bryan Danielson - The rising star!

5. Randy Orton - Can't see the list being complete without him.

All the above guys have years ahead of them (Not necessarily Kurt) and a company can be built around them either alone or combined.

I want to see the new generation answer this question from almost 6 years ago.

If you wanted to start a franchise, and had enough money to get everything done, and you could pick any five guys in wrestling today to base your franchise on, who would you pick?

[WWE Gary]

CM Punk , Antonio Cesaro , Dolph Ziggler , Bully Ray and Chris Jericho .

[Mr. Tambourine Man]

CM Punk (this would be a gamble as he's gone on record saying he's got another year or two and then he is finished. Though, hopefully by the time he leaves, the promotion will be established)

Dean Ambrose (He's up there with Punk as the best talker in the business and damn fine in the ring as well. His selling is superb)

Kenny King (What doesn't this guy have? He's a great flyer, got a good build, has superstar arrogance.)

Joseph Park (Awesome character in TNA that years of life left in it. The great thing is, if the gimmick gets boring, he can always flip back to being the Monster Abyss)

Daniel Bryan (Bryan could be the "grizzled veteran" of the promotion. Would probably give him the first run as champion and then have him the gatekeeper for future talent that try to breakthrough to the main event.)

[thenige83]

Triple H- He would be my wrastlin' business go to guy. Keep every body lined out and what not.

Jericho- He would wear multiple hats, talent scout, seasoned vet, trainer, would probably be first NCW (NigelChampionshipWrastlin) champ only to pass the torch to....

Seth Rollins- Young up and comer, talented, and could be the face of the company with the help of Jericho.

Alex Riley-Enhancement talent for all the less talented nobodies I hire and push because thats seemingly how successful wrestling companies operate

Bobby Roode- All around talent, could help establish Rollins as a legit champ after a couple hard fought losses, and could also help establish Tag and Mid card championship divisions

My five in no real order:


Roderick Strong
My American Strong Style Warrior, he looks good. This guy has proven himself heel and face. His skills are amazing and he can go toe-to-toe with guys double is Size. He is the messiah of the back breaker. Plus he is great in tag and singles action meaning he can do whatever I need him to.


Ibushi Kota (Kota Ibushi for those English obsessed)
My High Flying Japanese Guy, my most high risk choice of the five. Honestly I am going world wide and this guy is great in the ring. He can entertain the fans and wrestle any pace. He is also like Roderick able to jump back and forth between tag and singles.


Cibernetico
My Crazy Mexican Powerhouse, oh how crazy he looks. Truthfully, un luchador es necesario y cibernetico is loco luchador mejor. I don't need a pretty boy Mexican like WWE and TNA I need one who can strike a little fear into Gringos.


Kwaito Kid
The Fresh Faced African, I need some new blood in my company. This guy is quick and very educated with his feet. In time I can grow him to be huge. I like the idea of building this guy to great standing.


"Big League" John McChesney
My Taste of Professionalism, I met this guy and need him on the roster. This guy is not only skilled in the ring but echoes professionalism outside the ring. Seriously this guy goes full suit and great fan interaction. He brings the final component I need to my five.
