What Wrestlers that debut in the 2000s to today could you see being over and succeeding in the territorial era. for me it would be
Kurt Angle
The Briscoe Brothers
Jeff Cobb
Amanda Gordy(shes super good)
Brody King
Heath Slater
Randy Orton
Luke Harper and Eric Rowan
Daniel Bryan

Definitely those guys where being 'old-school' is pretty much their gimmick. (Silas Young, Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler, etc.)
Also Chad Gable. It might have to be as one half of a popular tag team, but he would flourish in any tag team division.

Brodie Lee in Memphis would have been a lot of fun with Lawler

hate to say anything positive about the guy these days, but Braun Strowman/Adam Scherr.

I could see Heath Slater tearing it up in the Mid-South territories and be a huge fan-favorite.
Jeff Cobb could make a killing as the traveling hoss

Just imagine MJF in the same era coming up at the same time as Ric Flair, Roddy Piper and some underrated legends like Gino Hernandez. Dude would have been in a HUGE draw in any territory he would have worked.

Brock Lesnar is the obvious one for me, but let's face it, doesn't matter whether we're talking 40 years in the past or 40 years in the future, that guy would have a career in any era.

Watts or Vince would have probably both been all over Big E, but frankly, he probably would have been a hit most anywhere. Strong as an ox, can talk, and disciplined enough to not do stupid shit? They'd like him.
Miro probably would have gone over like gangbusters, too. Someone from what would be within the USSR with that kind of intensity? A booker's dream heel.

Shelton Benjamin. Dude is an absolute beast athletically, has great work, no bad habits that I know of, and whatever he lacks with the mic could be easily covered up with a manager.

I would love to see Nick Gage in Memphis. A man with that look (and the criminal background if we are allowed to carry that over) innovating the pizza cutter as a weapon working with Lawler in his heyday would be money.

Drew McIntyre, specifically after he bulked up, would have had territories falling over themselves to put their top titles on him.
I think Moxley would've had a very Roddy Piper-like career, and I could just imagine the Apter Mags tracking their respective journeys and hyping up their inevitable collision.
