Sign the hottest free agent
You've been killing it lately and finally gotten the raise and promotion you've been working for. Vince McMahon and Mark Carano pass by you and McMahon peels off and starts a one on one, he tells you that you've got your finger on the pulse of the modern market and he wants to know who is the hottest free agent that he can get to debut tonight on TLC, who do you pick?

I'd have Ricochet added to the Cruiser title and win the STRAP DADDY on the first night in the territory.

What did you mean by “Free Agent”?
Ricochet for example is not a free agent, he’s contracted to Lucha Underground. |

If we're eliminating anybody with contractual commitments to NJPW, LU, GFW, UFC or anywhere else.....shit, I guess Ryback would be the default choice. It's pretty slim pickings actually. |

Probably CM Punk to be honest. If that counts. Merchandise alone will probably make millions.

Alternatively bring in Scotty with say, Nash, Booker and "The Icon" Sting...throw them together with a current roster guy...say Samoa Joe
I'm thinking some sort of main event level stable. Count the money! |

It depends on my level of sadism that particular day.
If I'm feeling non sadistic, I'd say Odinson because he's a solid worker, a big guy, and has a great look. If I'm feeling super sadistic, I'd say the Young Bucks to blow up their gimmick, kill them off as indy draws, and make them look like massive hypocrites (well, even more massive than they actually are.) |

I'd push him to sign someone I know on an inflated salary and split it 50/50.
Both be released quickly, but the buy out on the contact should be enough to make some money off this scam. |

If this were a year ago, I would have said Ethan Carter III. Back whenever there was talk of WWE buying up TNA, Dixie Carter's nephew coming in and getting a mega Spoiled Heel push from the start would have made money. They could have even brought up Derrick Bateman in NXT, like he was trying to get a start without his family name before selling out. That boats sailed though, I think

For me as far as work ethic, performance, and ability to draw attention to matches, I would have to go with Jay Lethal, he's one guy you can say never has had a chance to shine with the lights on bright on the WWE mega stage and i'd like to see what he would bring to the table.
If I had to pick a 2nd choice, Marty Scurll, his gimmick is just phenomenal. |

Jay Lethal would just end up in a tag team with Cedric Alexander or Rich Swann

On Smackdown I could run with Lethal vs Styles, Roode, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens, or Sami Zayn. Lethal brings alot to the table. |

Jay Lethal would be a good backbone in NXT. He could appear at the right time on the main, but I think he'd be perfect to train the younger workers and be a solid on NXT tv.

Well, here's a laundry list of my top ten:
1. The Rock 2. Ronda Rousey 3. Batista 4. Bobby Lashley 5. Jay Lethal 6. Christopher Daniels 7. Ryback 8. Jay and Mark Briscoe 9. EC3 10. Saraya Knight (for my dream feud with Paige) |

Jon Jones is a good pick.

I still think Jones vs. Lesnar would be a HUGE opportunity for the WWE. You'd attract MMA fans for Wrestlemania, and a Lesnar/Jones match would also attract main-stream attention.

Only if you built it up over the course of a year in WWE land. I think people would get whiff of it as a P.T. Barnum hoax if you brought them in for something against each other right away. Jones involvement is definitely good. If they had Jones for one match, I'd make it a tag team match with Jones and someone against Brock and someone. Maybe Jones & AJ vs. Brock & Joe? Something like that could be perversely...good, and you can heat up issues between Brock and Jones.
If you had Jones under actual contract, then I'd have him state he was training to become a wrestler so he could beat Brock in the WWE -- his own turf or whatever. Have Jones train for a year, beat the shit out of The Miz at a PPV, then beat Brock at WrestleMania. Title optional. |

I would agree with that line of thought if it wasn't for the fact that Jones has already called out Lesnar.
At the next WWE PPV, after Lesnar defeats whoever (Mahal?), I think it would be cool if Lesnar returned the favour by calling out Jones. After that, THEN you could do the 'slow build' between Lesnar/Jones over the next half year or so. That's how I'd do it. |

My only fear is that if Jon Jones shows up in WWE, people are going to say "Oh, they're doing that so that they can rig the fight." I think it is still easier to fool people with kayfabe than others make out (I've met people who buy into heel boxing and MMA acts). But I think the idea of the UFC to WWE switch just immediately sets off alarm bells.
As soon as I say that though, I feel dumb, because there's no way that Brock Lesnar vs. Jon Jones at WrestleMania does any worse than Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns or anything else they can muster up. I am tripping myself up. Yeah, they should probably just do it. Brock calls out Jones, Jones actually shows up and Brock spits in his face as security escorts him out or whatever. Jones is willing to do whatever it is he can do to earn a shot at Brock, even if it means enter the Royal Rumble. It's really not that hard. |

If you don't want to go with Brock and Jones in the title match, you can have Brock fuck Jones out of the Rumble somehow (ideally they wouldn't be touching, but whatever). Joe wins the Rumble in a bit of a shocker. At Elimination Chamber, which I think is a Raw PPV, Brock destroys everybody with suplexes until Jon Jones jumps off one of the cells onto Brock and beats the shit out of him. Cena hits his new finishing move, Daddy's Home, and gets the pin.
* John Cena vs. Samoa Joe for the Universal Title * Brock Lesnar vs. Jon Jones * The Four Horsewomen vs. The Four Horsewomen * The Shield vs. Finn Balor, Sheamus & Cesaro (random awesome team) * Kurt Angle vs. Daniel Bryan (Vince caves and lets Bryan wrestle) * AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura * Triple H vs. Shane McMahon in a Street Fight * Asuka vs. Kairi Sane for the RAW Women's Title * Jinder Mahal vs. Big E for the WWE Championship * Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles (turn Usos face) If that were your entire card, you would be laughing. |
