Thread title says veteran from 10-15 years ago, not from when Frank Gotch was starting out.

I mean, they brought back Shelton Benjamin and aren't doing anything noteworthy with him.

Think Scotty 2 Hotty would do great in that role

Angle would be good

Won't happen though because everyone wants to be funny these days so the person would just ham it up and end up being cheered

Angle in his original delusional American hero and moral authority would be great. Just do that with a spit of Backlund.

Angle has even more ammo now, basically being one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time. Dude came in as a legit gold medal winner and incredible amateur, he's done it all in multiple companies.

But I will always love his 4th of July promo in Canada. "Canada doesn't have any Olympic heroes. And no...Ben Johnson does not count." Haha.

Also talking about how you can't have barbecues in Canada because you could be attacked by a moose or a grizzly. "On second thought...the grizzles can't beat anybody!"*

*The NBA team was in Vancouver at the time.

Cena would be great. Especially if he's just face Cena set to 1000. Humble bragging about his charity work, delaying matches by high fiving every person at ring side, wearing the most ludicrous shirts ever, nice speeching everyone etc.

Jericho

Backlund worked because he looked like the biggest square on the planet.

I don't know anyone recently who fits the bill.

Carlito?
Masters?
Kennedy?
Morrison?

None of these guys had a psychopathic gimmick. Maybe they return and they freak out because it is nothing like they left it and they returned to the "home of the indies".

And they can snap from there. And as for Carlito, he hired a guy to stab John Cena, so I think he fits the bill as someone who's crazy.

[Milkman Norm]

Here's the problem. According to multiple people the Backlund gimmick was him turned up to a 100. He really is this social conservative traditionalist who also is an insane workout freak. So all the promos about young people and the decline of values was really him. You give a random vet the gimmick and it doesn't work.

[The Yes Man]

Daniel Bryan is doing it literally right now.

[realist]

You know who might be able to work in that role? Natalya Neidhart.

[Push R Truth]

David Arquette needs to show up, defeat Baron Corbin and end up being a "normal" GM that only shows up like once a month and tries to be as hands off as possible.

[realist]

I have two more ideas for this:

1.) What about Rey Mysterio doing that gimmick on 205 Live. He can say how he views all those guys as ripoffs of him or he sees that the style of wrestling that he perfected has been bastardized by those guys and be the top heel of the show. I know it's a stupid idea to turn Rey heel; I'm just trying to think outside the box.

2.) Jeff Hardy. He literally just celebrated 20 years on the roster. He can say, "As I celebrated my 20th year, I realized that the 5 men that I built my name with during the TLC matches are retired because of those matches and I wake up every day with aches and pains because of you people. I literally gave my body for you people..... etc."

Haku- but that may result in dead wrestlers so maybe not.

Tajiri would be awesome at this.

Wasn't that Matt Hardy? Dude literally called himself Broken.
