As other people have suggested before, if money isn't an issue, I attempt to buy out Impact and ROH to own their tape libraries and contracts. Then I build the company around those guys.
If I can't do that, I straight up don't bother.

I'll fill it up with living legends and bring it back to the "glory days". It'll be dead in three weeks after twelve in-ring heart attacks and multiple lawsuits stemming from an incident from a One Man Gang vs. Abdullah the Butcher match. You didn't say it had to be good. You...are my hero

You really shouldn’t have made it a “Throw Blood on the Audience” match.

One of the things I enjoy doing these days is booking fantasy rosters and shows. This kind of thing is right up my alley right now. I'll use my roster more or less for my current reboot of the Global Wrestling Federation. CommissionerStevie Ray Male RosterShad Gaspard (I'd push him as a singles wrestler, I liked the potential in his short WWE run after they broke up Cryme Tyme) Nick Aldis Carlito Chris Masters Eli Drake James Storm MVP Eric Escobar (I think he still wrestles in some Puerto Rican companies and I'd use him as a nemesis for Carlito) Elijah Burke Rene Dupree Luke Hawx Crimson Crazzy Steve Michael Tarver Rob Terry (I would use him mostly as the muscle for Nick Aldis' heel run) Kahagas Ryan Nemeth (aka "Briley Pierce" aka Dolph Ziggler's real life brother) Marshe Rocket Shannon Moore Damien Slater Jesse Sorensen Tag TeamsManu & Jacob Fatu (These guys would be working with Armando Estrada as their manager) JTG & Darren Young (I decided to use JTG in a new tag team rather than have him as a singles wrestler like Shad. He and Darren Young look like they match each other pretty well physically.) Ricardo Rodriguez & Magno (Okay for this team Ricardo would be back working under a mask in sort of Pentagon/LA Park gimmick and he and Magno would be a kind of Lucha Brothers Lite) Bill Carr & Bull Dempsey (Both guys could work well as a hoss tag team together) Kenny Doane & Mike Mondo Marshal & Ross Von Erich Wes Brisco & Garett Bischoff (These two back together but as a heel team that everyone hates and wants to see get destroyed) Women's RosterAllysin Kay Celeste Bonin Hania Katie Lea Ivelisse Taeler Hendricks Rain Christie Ricci (Hey, don't look at me like that ) Jayme Jameson Mariah Moreno (She's a trans wrestler from CA and I think she would fit well on the roster)

I don't know about major, but assuming I'd won the Euro Millions, and had a bunch of money, I'd copy the UK promotions of the late 90s and have knock offs of popular wrestlers. With the financial backing I'd have a weekly YouTube show with footage from around the UK and Europe. Think of it like Superstars or Shotgun. Scale wise it would be like WWF in 95. 2000 seat venues, small set.
Assuming I get around copyrights, the sky is the limit (maybe)!

Hmmm.
I guess raid all the indies in TX/LA/MS/AL/FL and that would be the roster. So much good talent that isn't signed yet like.
Barrett Brown-Make him the underdog face. Steve Anthony-Cocky Heel champ. Nightmare known as Jeremiah-Big monster heel Apoc Adam Asher-Vet face that can be moved up and down the card easy. Rey Fury-Every fed needs a masked face and Rey is one of hte best right now. Prince of Pain Joe Kane-Every fed needs a vet heel that can move up and down the card.
There is many more but I figure that is enough names most people here don't know.

Assuming that I can't buy out any of the major competitors, WWE, AEW, ROH, NWA, Impact or MLW, I'd put together a roster something like this. Addy Starr Alex Zayne BLANK Bodyguard Cara Noir Chihiro Hashimoto Chris Brookes Chris Dickinson Dasher Hatfield EFFY Frightmare Hallowicked Jamie Senegal Jervis Cottonbelly Jimmy Jacobs Kaito Kiyomiya Katsuhiko Nakajima Kenoh Kento Miyahara Kevin Condron Kodama LuFisto Madison Eagles Maki Itoh Mayu Iwatani Meiko Satomura Nick Gage O'Shay Edwards Obariyon Ophidian Ram Kaicho Razerhawk Robert Evans Shazza McKenzie Solo Darling Still Life With Apricots And Pears Sugar Dunkerton Takashi Sugiura Thomas Santell Thomas Sharp Thunderfrog Tim Donst UltraMantis Black WARHORSE The Whisper Yuu Zeus I'd want to focus on unique and oddball characters and stories along with the quality wrestling. Promos and old school style vignettes without it dominating the programming in its entirety, maybe even throw in there some faux advertisement like what you see on Powerrr to help create this self contained universe. So kind of equal parts Lucha Underground, Kaiju Big Battel and NXT Redemption. I'd start out with establishing a world title and a world tag titles, no gender or weight boundaries. In an ideal world we'd have a TV deal with Netflix or a streaming service similar where we could release clusters of episodes together in "seasons" or half seasons that could flow into each other and tell a cohesive story (with multiple plotlines converging to either cliff hangers or their conclusions on the final episode of each cluster). Touring I'd target similar to the KBB model of college campuses and conventions to start out, with the idea to expand to bigger venues once it took off. This is an interesting post and touches on an issue worth thinking about. Although much of the US indie talent is all tied up some Japanese talent, especially the non-NJPW talent may be available. The issue is that even if they’re technically freelancers Japanese talent tend to be intensely loyal to their companies (well at least until they aren’t anymore). For an added dynamic any major US company that could exist or any that currently exist but don’t have a working relationship with a Japanese company already could really benefit from doing so. I’ve said a few times that if I had my dream roster today about half the talent would be Japanese.

Assuming I have unlimited money to spend like a drunken naval commander, I'm stealing the Rock from Hollywood, paying Austin stupid money as well, ditto for CM Punk and any other person with name value good enough to be carried through a smoke and mirrors match, and use them as leverage for a real TV deal, then I'm buying up ROH, NWA, and MLW to fill my mid card and tag divisions and getting working agreements with AAA and NJPW.
I'd book Rock in a feud to elevate Jacob Fatu, have Austin mentor and elevate the Von Erich boys and take ol' Mance Warner under his wing as well, and Punk could basically work with anyone. I'd lose hundreds of millions the first few years because of the insane money I spent to get Austin and Rock and book big buildings, but I'm assuming here I'm Jeff Bezos rich and with that kind of money and say five years to get established I'll be breathing down Vince's neck soon enough.

My fed would be based entirely in video games. An entirely made up roster with batshit crazy storylines.
