Tough question, but Eddie was the only wrestler who died during my time that I felt had a lot more to contribute.
Well, Owen Hart and Benoit too, obviously...I can't count Benoit though since he died of his own hand, not an accident or health problems.
Now Owen, I liked him as a wrestler sure, but Eddie is one of my favorites of all time.
Pillman was a great loss too, but he was already racked with injuries so I doubt he would have lasted very much longer before he had to retire. Although he could have contributed a lot in other areas, such as commentary.
I would say Eddie. I would like to see him face Jericho, Rey, or the match that never happened everybody wanted to see, Eddie vs. HBK.
It also would have been great to see Eddie go at it with some of the new guys, like Morrison or Ziggler. Imagine current Edge vs. Eddie? They had great tag matches back in the day. The Rated R Superstar vs. Latino Heat would have been an epic feud.

Hard to choose between Eddie and Benoit. Ideally it would be Benoit, but Eddie coming back would probably be a lot easier for people to take.

A young Rick Rude would be super over right now...he was well ahead of his time.
or
A Brian Pillman who never shattered his ankle....he would still be main eventing

So this is like if we had a time machine, or if they were like the reincarnation of Optimus Prime?

Owen Hart...I'd have him face anyone because the guy put on great matches no matter who he was in there with.

Brian Adams, fully healed and in his prime. Every time he was about to break through the glass ceiling during his first WWF run, untimely injuries (and that arrest) ruined his push and brought him back to square one. He was criminally underused in WCW up until Kronik.

I'm gonna vote for:
Owen Hart, Andre the Giant, or Bruiser Brody.
Reasoning: They didn't die by their own will....they really had no control over their demise.

I think, if I had the power to bring just ONE back...it would be Owen. I'd not even bring him back to wrestle. I'd bring him back for Martha and Oje and Athena, so he could live the life HE wanted to live before he was cut short.

Lou Thesz. I'd like to see him vs. Kurt Angle in an unscripted match. You'd have arguably the greatest amateur wrestler in Angle against the best of the old-time shooters in Thesz

I miss Eddie Guerrero and Rick Rude SO MUCH. I would love to see them back and say "Thank You" to their faces.

Sticking to Mike Awesome and King Kong Bundy (yes, yes, aware he's not dead) myself, but might have to make a special case for Russ Haas. Why? Simply so that Charlie would have some reason to still be on the roster.

As much as I liked Owen (personally I believed he would've been better than Bret) I have to chose Eddie. He was the only wrestler who could entertain me in nearly any type of match and was the only wrestler, aside from The Rock, who could make me laugh at the drop of a pin.

I really miss Eddie too, and I just couldn't believe it when he died. Still, I wish with all my heart that the Benoit murder/suicide never ever happened, so I'd want to bring Chris back if I could.

Misawa would be nice to have back too...his death really hasn't even sunk in yet though.

Hands down, Owen Hart... I think he would've ben a multitime world champ by now Eddy would be #2... In fact think of classic Eddie vs Owen matches #3.. Chris Candido, he was making a real nice comeback in TNA and I always liked his style #4 "Love Machine" Art Bar.... We never got to see his greatness, but had he stayed with us... Los Gringos Loco's might have been one of the greatest team of all time #5 Brian Pillman... His career was close to ending, but he would've made a great manager/announcer
