Keeping PVW discussions alive and heated until the fedhead returns:

Say the roster becomes available to the TV wrestling feds (WWE, TNA, ROH, DGUSA, CHIKARA, etc.) Who gets hired where? Assume it's the same hiring/booking crews in the leagues as currently stands- so who would HHH want to bring in, etc.

Some initial thoughts:

Senor Dos Cloak- The WWE needs someone to fill in Rey Mysterio's spot, and Sin Cara hasn't filled the bill. SDC could easily.

Derek Weaver- I give him six months before he's challenging for the ROH World Title

Danny Daniels- silly, over the top gimmick? CHIKARA mainstay

Frank Knight- long stay in FCW while fans keep arguing if Frank can fit in the 'family friendly' WWE

Livestock & the Gutch- making fun of lawyers, giant wrestlers, AND egg fart jokes? The WWE has their tag team champions for the next year.

Erich Seiger – 7 feet tall? WWE World Champion within a year. Loses the belt to John Cena at “No Way Out,” as Michael Cole screams “YOU CAN’T AA THE GERMAN JUGGERNAUT!”

HVD – Forms a WWE tag team with Damien Sandow called “The Intelligensia.”

Christopher Black – TNA bound. Within six months, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan are reported missing.

This... makes an absurd amount of sense. An real-life Black clone would be insanely valuable in TNA, as their biggest problem (aside from their hard-on for everything 90's) is a total lack of knowledge of how to properly develop and maintain heels and faces. The fact that so many of the bookers are trying to recreate the nWo, which focused on "now you're a member, now you're not, oh hey welcome back" flip-flops, totally ruined the concept of heels and faces for guys like Russo and Bischoff. Only people who really stand out (like Bubba Ray's vocal awesomeness) can really get a crowd passionate one way or another... the flip-flopping has killed the concept of a legit heel, and a true Christopher Black would be a good start as long as they didn't turn him face 12 weeks later.

Most of the assessments I agree with totally, actually. Notably Daniels and Weaver, those two were dead on and would end up owning CHIKARA and ROH in short order.

A few more:

- Heath Dawson: Feuding with Weaver over the ROH Title within a year. Dawson screams ROH... a smooth talker who doesn't need a lot of time to get his message across, and the type of face who would thrive there. I could even buy Dawson working in the WWE, but he'd be a main eventer in ROH.

- Mercenary: Meet the new associate of John Laurinitis and David Otunga. Why WWE never used a true "pay me and I'll destroy him" gimmick in any of their evil GM stories is beyond me... I'm not talking the blackmail-type angles (like Show/Cena), but a true mercenary who would work for all heels (and some faces) without prejudice, and occasionally is cashed in by the evil GM against the faces he feuds with. Good high-card support character and evil GM trump card without needing to always be a main event guy, real missed opportunity by Vince over the years.

- Spectre: ... Oh yeah, ECW closed. :crying: But admit, this character under Heyman's oversight as the ECW's more adult version of the dark creepy Undertaker-type would have been incredible.

- Cow and Chicken: Feuding with L&G for the WWE Tag Titles, helping save the division. Don't laugh. You know how much C&C merchandise WWE would be able to sell to kids? Vince would jump on two guys who could legit play such kid-friendly roles while still getting a true big man as part of the package in a second. Besides, you can't have egg farts without a chicken to take it out on.

In fact, on that note... let's just transport the entire PVW tag division over to WWE. Our worst team is better than any team on the WWE roster right now, and there aren't any gimmicks that wouldn't translate well (Arvelle, in particular, would be more over as a manager than Vickie Guerrero within his first month).

Now...

Anyone got any idea what to do with Gibson? I think he might be too bitch-heel for ROH's workrate nuts, I don't think Vince and Hunter would use him correctly at all, TNA would flip him too much to keep him believable as a heel, and he doesn't really fit CHIKARA at all. I'm lost on him.
Working on new characters you didn't see a decade ago. Honest.

Maybe make Gibson the American Foreign Heel for Dragon Gate or another Japanese fed?

Supreme Wright was pretty much built to hold the ROH world title for 18 months until Adrian Freeman takes it away from him in a 40 minute match that has too many kickouts. :spam:
