TNA to WWE or WWE to TNA

[George Harrison]

I dont know if this is the right forum,
as its both WWE & TNA, but I know fans of TNA will be able to answer this a lot better,


If you were vince & had the power to raid TNA for five wrestlers or personalities to help overcome the losses lately, who would you choose?



I know its more of a WWE fan question, as it'd be to help them, but you guys know TNA more Im sure.

Personally,
thinking of the future Id bring in;

Joe, I think he'd go far wherever he was personally,

Aj, Well, I imagine him to be upper mid-card a la Kennedy or Jeff before his recent push,

Christian Cage, a creditable main-eventer now,

& then maybe Angle but its risky, Maybe Abyss?


& I think for fifth Id take Nash, obviously with the ties to Vince & HHH it'd seem probable Vince would but I think he'd be good if he settled now, he could become one of the best talkers/managers in the game,
people could only learn from him.


& also,

if you could take 5 WWE stars to improve your product now, who would?


Personally,
Id imagine Kennedy & matt hardy would fit,

This is totally imaginary mind, please do not rehash about how TNA dont need ex WWE because the have enough, Id just liked to see who'd people would choose?

[Zutroy]

I'd take

Samoa Joe
Christian Cage
Tomko
AJ Styles
Chris Sabin

Wouldn't touch Angle since he lives in LaLa-Land now.

Jumping back and forth from promotion to promotion is nothing new.It happened all the time back when there were lots of different feds & territories on TV.It will continue to happen.

[Jam]

TNA guys to WWE:
1. Samoa Joe
2. The Dudley Boys (yeah that's what I still call them)
3. A.J. Styles
4. Tomko (if Vince has seen him recently in TNA, he's probably just alittle pissed that he let him go. I'd much rather it was Tomko on RAW everyweek than Snitsky)
5. Motor City Machineguns (WWE desperatly needs more "real" tag teams)

WWE guys to TNA:
1. Paul London
2. Mr. Kennedy
3. CM Punk ( I actually see this happening at some point. I see Punk just falling into the same traps as RVD. Without the drugs.)
4. Umaga
5. Big Show (just because I want to see him and Samoa Joe. For some reason I imagine this to be a sick match)

[toodarkmark]

I think McMahon should take:

Vince Russo
Don West
Tramp Stamp Lance Hoyt
Kip James
Black Reign

PLEASE

LOL at Cena to TNA. If that ever happened I'd love it if he jobbed to everybody on the whole TNA roster. That could really help TNA get over instead of the usual sign a WWE star and have him go over all the homegrown talent.

[Cyno]

I'd use him as a MAJOR heel. Like, the heel to end all heels. Give him a huge winning streak to go along with it and make him TNA champion. When he finally loses, it's to put over a popular homegrown talent and elevate him as the new face of TNA.

Second, except for Don West & HOYT!
Those places should go to Booker T & Sharmell.

TNA shouldn't take anyone from WWE as their roster is bloated as it is!

[Deleted]

TNA -> WWE:
Petey Williams
Robert Roode
Hernandez & Homicide (to help with that whole latino demo)
Abyss.

WWE -> TNA
Edge
MVP
Santino
The Edgeheads

[Celgress]

Joe
AJ
Tomko
Lethal
Storm

[TheMediocreWarrior]

-Samoa Joe

-Abyss. I'd team him with Kane

-Tomko

-AJ and Christopher Daniels. I'd try to push the cruiser division again.

[laotioncommotion]

I've never liked these conversations about which TNA guys should go to WWE, because I'm only a TNA fan, and I honestly would hate to see any of the guys I like watered down for WWE. But I'll divorce myself from that for a sec and say that these guys would be good for WWE:

1. Tomko
2. Abyss (though in a different gimmick)
3. Scott Steiner (I think it would work better now)
4. Robert Roode
5. James Storm

Any of these guys would make an impact, and their styles would work well in the WWE environment.

Guys I would take for TNA would be:
1. CM Punk
2. Shelton Benjamin (maybe Vince Russo could make him interesting)
3. Charlie Haas (same as above)
4. Paul Burchill (though he's not technically WWE, is he?)
5. Jimmy Yang

I always had this idea of a way TNA could play on the whole "WWE-reject" stigma for their advantage. Sign somebody (in this case Cena), and have him go on all the radio shows and stuff kind of subtly working everybody. Have him kind of act like he's too good for TNA. When asked about things he likes about TNA, have him get obvious things wrong about it, so he looks like he doesn't pay any attention to the product. When he debuts, push him hard as a face, with sort of a secret agenda of trying to turn the fans against him. Give him a "Batista-esque" amount of title shots and opportunities, until in the final title shot, he pulls some sort of heel shenanigans and steals the belt. Hopefully this would complete the heel turn. Then he would cut a promo in the ring saying "You guys have had your fun. We let this thing go on long enough, and now it's time to stop it. This is the end of Phase 1. Now it's time for Phase 2." It'd sort of be a tweaked version of the nWo, in that you'd be playing on the fan's conceptions of "outsiders" from the other company.

[George Harrison]

Yeah I think Burchill is on Raw now?


& to the person who mentioned about people jumping to different territories, thats not what Im saying here,

Im just saying theoretically, who would people choose. I KNOW it happens, but Id like to see what people think.

its like,
I KNOW there will be weather tomorrow, but id like to KNOW what people would like it to be,

hah, just to see people elaborate on these things is interesting, so please, just help the thread, man, & give a point on who you'd like to see change feds ...Even the guy who confessed to being a TNA fan over WWE no matter what, he still played along,

[Adam Pacman Khan (akkilla)]

to wwe
1. VKM (for a complete DX reunion)
2. Elix Skipper (nothing doing on TNA now)
3. Eric Young (just because)
4. Black Reign (more goldust)
5. Lance Hoyt

1. Shelton
2. London
3. Carlito

I think thats a fair trade

[GaTechGrad]

WWE to TNA:

- Chris Jericho (maybe)
- Santino

TNA to WWE:

- Cystal the announcer (bring in Scott Hudson full time)

[ICBM]

Abyss to wwe- we'll see if he called TNA's bluff for his contract-also I see a super Kane squash match here

MCMG-I love em on TNA but they have excitement on RAW written all over em

[Kae]

TNA -> WWE
1) Cheerleader Melissa.
2) Amazing Kong

Vince then needs to let them work, fire all of the bikini models in the women's division, call up some new talent from the indies, and he'd have an amazing women's division. . . . Yeah, that's not going to happen, is it?

3) Samoa Joe
4 and 5) The MCMG

WWE->TNA
1) Victoria
2) Beth Phoenix
3) CM Punk
4 and 5) London and Kendrick

[Cheeba]

Samoa Joe
AJ Styles
Kurt Angle
James Storm
Robert Roode
