Thinking about it, he's got damn near all the tools to go to the main roster and be WWE or Universal Champion as long as he wants.
Gief's big, muscular and agile, so Vince would want to push him. He's solid on the mic (stereotypically Russian, but not what I'd call a mean spirited parody) and he's got the "muscle power!" catchphrase, so casual fans and kids would like him. He has a good moveset with drop kicks, spinning lariats, flying body presses, power slams, suplexes, spinning powerbombs and Boston Crabs, plus he can have exciting matches with opponents of all sizes, so he'd get the diehard fans. He's usually portrayed as an amicable, hard working dude, so he'd get along with the locker room. And he's got a unique look, so marketing teams would be in love with him.
It's R. Mika that I'd be worried about. I'm afraid that they'd look at her and think " look how perky she is. She's like Bayley!" Then they'd job her to Poison every night.

I think that hiring Tekken's Julia Chang in the Jaycee gimmick would lead to a new boom period, personally.

All those makes sence, so of course, WWE saddles him with a dancing gimmick  |

People would just complain that the WWE wouldn't let him do his awesome indy finisher the spinning piledriver  |

If the wwe pushes Zangief to fast, to soon, fans will loose interest in him and start chanting. "CHANGE THE CHANNEL clap clap clapclapclap CHANGE THE CHANNEL"  |

Considering who's WWE Champion, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say Dhalsim would do quite well.

It would only lead to them signing E.Honda and his 4 moves of doom.

They'd sign Alex as a conquering hero and try to push him to the moon but the fans boo him and start chanting "we want Ry-u"

Ryu and Ken can be a force in the tag team division but I fear that people will turn on Ryu due his lack of charisma.

They'd stick him with the evil foreigner gimmick and job him to Mike Haggar on a monthly basis.

What about Hugo? Do you think he could fit in? What about Rainbow Mika in the women's division?

Nevermind that, Abigail would be Vince ultimate wet dream.

Gief would kill in the ring and be on trial for manslaughter.

He'd have to tone down his moveset. SPD is replaced with the Pumphandle Slam and the spinning lariat is replaced with a regular clothesline
