Just thought about this when listening to one's music and thinking:

1) EC3. Send him down and go after Cole for NXT Championship.

2 and 3) Iconics. I think that they could so far with their gimmicks and they did that.

4) Eric Young. He needs more TV time then this

5) Zack Ryder. See Eric young and EC3. Combine them.

Honorable mention: Rusev. This is weird but I feel that he has gotten stale. Thrown alot of gimmicks but none are working as they should.

Drew Gulak would've been on here before Sunday.

1) Asuka/Saine - the most obviosu choice. Vince has kinda buried both of them now. Asuka needs some momentum now. Frankly Saine probably needs AEW more.

2) Riccochet.....i mean, WTF has gone on with him lately?

3) I agree with EC3

4) Cedric Alexander

5) Apollo Crews

1. EC3. I don’t think he should’ve been called up when he was.
2. Chad Gable. He needs to get this stink of Shorty G off of him.
3. Agree with the Iconics. They’ve just floundered ever since they lost the tag belts.
4. Dana Brooke. Couldn’t hurt to send her back down.
5. Agree with Riccochet as well. The longer he’s on the main roster, the more likely he’ll fall so far down the ladder, that he’ll be lucky to be on Main Event or 205 Live.

Gable was 6th on my list. Good choice

1. Chad Gable (That dude should be tearing it up in the main event scene somewhere)
2. Cesaro (see #1)
3 Rusev (The guy's megaover whenever he gets TV time)
4. Randy Orton (I've heard this theory elsewhere but it would be great storytelling if Orton started as the legend killer and ended as the rookie killer)
5. Sasha ( she should be leading a brand's female division)


As far as Riccochet goes I wouldn't be shocked if this is a Revival situation where he's being punished for weighing his options and not signing a new contract.

5 is fascinating.

I Wonder if they’re doing that with flair. She should be taking a backseat to no one. She is the GOAT.

guys like cesaro and ricochet Probsvly belong on nxt cause they can’t cut promos and that doesn’t seem to matter all for nxt success.

I think at this point, Rusev should be hoping he’s released. They’ve started and stopped so many pushes for the guy that less and less people care anymore. He’d be a fresh face somewhere else.

Rusev's contract is apparently up any time now. Everything I read said Spring 2020 but nothing definitive. Last update I saw was maybe a month ago where they said the two sides hit an impasse. FWIW, Lana signed signed a 5 year deal last Fall but its not all that uncommon anymore for husband/wife pairs to work at different companies.

If the money is decent, I really think he should go to AEW. He'd be a star. He's got all the tools and people absolutely love him. He's super charismatic and talented in the ring. He's literally gotten everything over WWE has given him yet they never really push him to the top. He could be a star in WWE but they are wasting his potential

No doubt. He’s a good worker and has a good look and charisma and has also gotten some stuff over that a lot of people couldn’t. AEW would be nuts to pass on him because I feel like he could come in and be put in the main event scene pretty quickly.

Asuka should because she cannot connect enough with a crowd unless she has a manager. Sasha should as well because she is less believable that she could beat nearly any woman on the roster. Becky Lynch is Brock Lesnar to her.

nah. You gotta suspend reality to believe that Becky can take anyone.

it’s the one downside to knowing people’s backgrounds. Does anyone think that Becky could beat a trained us marine in a shoot?

Can someone explain why they had Paige with asuka for very short period and got rid of her? She was perfect for her.

An Irish chick over a 90 pound chick who spends more time on trying to keep her weave on than wrestle?

But 100% on Paige with Asuka. Makes no sense, no one can ever connect with the audience if they cannot speak unless they have a mouthpiece. She is talented enough to be the top star in the division but should be Brock where she can’t talk.

Becky is one of the larger women on the roster. She's also incredibly fit. It's honestly not that hard to suspend believability there. Brock Lesnar would stomp Seth Rollins in a real fight too but no one bitches about that.

Fwiw, Asuka can actually speak English. They've just chosen to go this route with her. The more they let her go in Japanese, the more its starting to work though. She's so animated when she talks, its getting over.

I guess to me it doesn’t seem to be getting over. Maybe it’s her with Saine, I don’t know. She is super talented but with her solo career it appeared there is a ceiling on her. Unless she gets an equivalent of Paul Heyman (which I think Paige could be if she embraced that role).

For whatever reason, it appears they don't want Asuka to be the top champion. She can join the club of many other talented performers that don't really get a real chance with the top belt. But while they don't want her as the top champ, she's actually been featured heavily the last few months between her Becky feud and with the Kabuki Warriors to they are clearly very high on her. Just not the highest.

Guys like Lesnar and shamrock etc are tough. Cause everyone in the building knows they win in about 12 seconds in a shoot.

I doubt Daniel bryan could beat a soul on the roster. Probably why i think the yes movement is retarded and why I liked having a cruiserweight title. Where he would belong.

Him winning at 30 was beyond any realistic belief. He wouldn’t last 2 minutes shoot with either of those guys

I would add Lacey Evans here.

If you’re making her a face, put her in Stars and Stripes.

play up her background. So easy to get over.

I actually agree, and I kind of want to see her turn face and see how it goes.

Because you're right, she's so animated that it's hilarious.

I need someone on twitter to be able to translate this every week. lol

Becky Lynch (and I) both are in agreement with #2.

should've included him.

WWE News - Becky Lynch wants to see 7-time Champion win the World title

Re: Gable

If Gable was a little bigger i think he'd be up on the card no problem (this is why WWE needs Gable in the cruiserweight division, he could be a superstar there...it's also how guys like Jericho, Mysterio and Guerrero all built up their momentum to become fan faves and future World champs).

It's like they were going to try it since he had like 2 or 3 appearances on 205 Live and then they dropped it and he went back to the main roster as this stupid Shorty G gimmick. If I were him, I'd want to go back there or to NXT to ride out my contract and hope Vince forgets about me.
