If WWE was to raid TNA...

[Rolent Tex]

It boggles my mind on the guys that WWE will bring in (I'm looking at you G-Rilla) but yet they have no interest in guys like Eric Young and Samoa Joe.

[the5thhorseman]

As much as I'd like to think they would take Beer Money as a team they would probably just want Roode. Morgan probably, maybe AJ, and thats probably it. Burke maybe

From reports, the WWE does want Joe but he keeps re-signing with TNA.

Following people I think the WWE would take

Joe
AJ
Morgan
Elijah Burke
Velvet Sky
Angelina
Mickie
The Guns

[Remix]

Magnus for certain along with the Guns (to be split before debut) and BMI (to be split). Maguns can languish in FCW for a while working on improving his skills, Shelley and Roode get a solid midcard push (Roode moreso) to US/IC title level while Sabin and Storm get a smaller push to put them in the middle of the midcard (i.e. on TV 4/5 weeks either on Superstars or one of the main shows).

And, if you had asked me about a year and a half ago, I would have said Abyss as well. But TNA's killed him off to the point where I doubt WWE would have any interest.

[Snowman]

I'd say the only ones would be Beer Money, but not as a tag team as induviduals.

Also Jese Neal just cos Vince has a hard on for the armed services.

[quirkalicious]

Beer Money, AJ (but we would never see him shirtless), Magnus, Jesse Neal (who probably would never make it out of FCW), Madison Rayne, MCMG, and Jay Lethal.

Shame Taker's near retiring, Abyss would be perfect Wrestlemania fodder.

Out of all TNA guys (outside of the guys already established like Hardy, Angle, Anderson, etc), I think Morgan is the only one who would have a chance of being a star in WWE. He just has the look of a superstar, IMO. Of course he would have to be pushed right.

First off, get Matt Morgan back. Throw as much money at him as you need to, get him back. After that, I'd go after Beer Money. From there, I'd say Eric Young, if he wasn't such a hardcore company guy.

Wasn't the story that Eric waited for a WWE offer before resigning (w/ 50% paycut) but one never came? Too bad, I think he would fit in- he could be Smackdown's answer to Santino.

Wasnt the same also for Samoa Joe? And if Vince wanted Velvet he could have gotten her since her contract expired but WWE didnt pursue her either?

[Perpetual Nirvana]

Guys, I realise you may be blinded to this but fact is if they wanted Mickie she'd still be there. Contrary to popular belief, they fired her for a reason.

[Pseudonym]

Nexus would surround the ring and they would...

Oh talent wise? The obvious AJ, Beer Money, Joe etc.

[thevillain]

After looking over the current TNA roster I think the WWE would try to get Beer Money, Chelsea (well she is a model) and maybe Magnus.

[Bub (BLM)]

I have to agree with everyone saying Beer Money. Especially Robert Roode. He's very reminiscent of a 1999 Triple H.

Yeah that was confusing me too. She hasn't even been in TNA that long and she is there because she was fired.

TNA originals vs WWE originals

AJ Styles
Beer Money
Jeff Jarrett
Abyss
Samoa Joe
Eric Young

vs

The Miz
Edge
Randy Orton
John Cena
The Undertaker
Sheamus
CM Punk

[NOwave]

I think the WWE would be very limited as to who they'd pick off TNA's roster.

Men:

Locks:
Matt Morgan(clearly fits the WWE model)

Beer Money(both solid performers-might keep them together, but more likely separated)

Maybes:
AJ Styles(lower mid-card. Just doesn't fit the WWE paradigm. could move up if he shows more on the mic)

Samoa Joe(see above-maybe even FCW at first)

Rob Terry(purely based on his physique-might not last long)

Longshots:
Abyss(this one is interesting-they like big guys, but might think he's too old/untrainable in the WWE paradigm)

Jay Lethal(purely for his comic value-might blossom into a Smackdown alternative to Santino)


I don't see it:
MCMG's(WWE would want to separate and change their style, but they've never proven themselves as singles)

Women:

Locks:
The Beautiful People(good fit for the Diva model-this may be the rare tag team the WWE would keep together, to rival LayCool)

Maybes:
Madison Rayne(not quite the glamour WWE looks for, but solid performer)

Longshots:
Sarita(see Madison Rayne)

I don't see it:
Mickie(not yet, anyway-maybe a year or two)

[Madagascar Fred]

IMO they CANNOT go wrong with these if they push/book them properly:

Beer Money (if creative can find a way to use a great tag team)

MCMG (see above)

AJ Styles (I BET most RAW/SD viewers and fans in the arena WILL recognize him, and thats a big plus...he must get involved in some big angle from the start, f.e. against Punk)

Matt Morgan (he really has improved, I like his micwork and he's gotten pretty good in the ring)

Kazarian (he has the it factor, someone must use his talent properly)

[celticjobber]

Abyss, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles.

The WWE would water down any TNA wrestlers even further, so no thanks
