All of these hirings are happening in an ideal world, where no one gets f***ed over and botched by stupid booking:
1)Claudio Castagnoli: The guy is just too amazing to NOT be on my tv every week .
2)Chris Hero: See Claudio Castagnoli.
3)Eddie Kingston: Think of the brawls he could have with Abyss, among all the other great brawlers in TNA. Plus, he's a brawler who can actually work outside of that style.
4&5)Shane Matthews and Jagged: 2.0 are just an amazing tag team with a ton of charisma, and seeing them in a promo war against, among others, the Motor City Machine Guns would be amazing.

You just named 5 of my top guys in my ROH EWR game  Continue on, I have nothing else to add. |

Actually Alex Shelly has been pushing for Claudio to be brought into TNA for a while, so I wouldn't be compeltely suprised.
Personally I hope they bring in 5 great guys, but only if they lose equal amounts in dead weight.

The Briscoes.
3 remaining...Chris Hero. I've seen some recent ROH stuff, and this guy's in-ring antics are AWESOME.
Does SHIMMER talent count? If so...Sara Del Rey
And I guess Claudio.

When I think of "Indy" anymore, I think of guys like Consequences Creed, not the ROH locker room. With that mind:
Bobby Marshall - He's the tall Australian guy currently wrestling in the NWA. He'd be great as the "Tomko" to someone else's Christian Cage.
John McChesney - The cocky, jackass heel that TNA wanted Chris Sabin to be. A perfect fit in the X Division.
Raymond Rowe - He's somewhere between Taz and Steve Austin in terms of wrestling ability. He'd be good as Tomko's understudy.
Sexual Harassment (Eric Xtasy and Justin Idol) - Vince Russo would have a field day with these guys.

Most of the big guns in ROH (including Claudio and Hero) are still under contract with ROH, so unless those expired soon they wouldn't be leaving more than likely.
Some of the guys from PWG would make nice additions. Eddie Kingston would be a must for the promos alone.

Not sure if he counts as an Indy guy or not, but I’d like to see NWA’s Danielson singed by TNA. He could put on some great clinics with Kurt and Joe.

Personally I hope they bring in 5 great guys, but only if they lose equal amounts in dead weight. i'd actually really like to see Claudio Castagnoli, Chris Hero, Larry Sweeney, Daniel Puder, and Sara Del Ray in TNA. Hero and Claudio make up my favorite tag team, Larry Sweeney is just to great a promo guy to not be on TV talking it up, Daniel Puder is just a great smarmy egocentric prick who does MMA and since Spike is all about UFC seems like he'd be a great pick up for TNA (of course the I HURT KURT stuff aswell), and Sara Del Ray because the Knockouts seem to be able to work Shimmer and other places. Plus I want to see Gail Kim vs. Sara Del Ray. |

1-Human Tornado-X Division
2-Kevin Steen-Tag Division
3-El Generico-Tag Divsion
4-Sara Dle Rey-Konckouts
5-Chris Hero-Singles
I think those 5 would benefit tna the most.

I think it would benefit TNA to stay away from ROH guys. Theres enough negative heat.
1. Caludio Castagnoli - Ive seen enough of his recent ROH stuff to know he needs a change of scenery. I think he could bring back his Swiss Money Lender gimmick and walk into a stable with Robert Roode.
2. Joey Ryan - Comedy cold in an uncorney kind of way. COuld really help the booking out too.
3. Scott Lost - To team with Joey Ryan. This guy reminds me of a Hart.
4. Human Tornado - This guy is tailor made for TNA.
5. This is kinda hard. I love Larry Sweeney but I dont know if he wouldnt just end up being a big joke. ID love to see him replace Don West. Id like to see him wrestle though. Id say Kevin Steen to team with Petey Williams to make a canadian team. But these guys are ROH guys like I said.

The Briscoes - Come in and form some kind of faction with Jim Cornette & Matt Morgan to sort out there problem with Joe & Nash (obviously with the vast majority of the work done by Joe & The Briscoes) then they could feud with MCMG over the tag straps.
Jado & Gedo - The tag division needs seriously beefing up and I think it would be good for TNA to experiment with getting Japanese wrestlers in full time and they're a great tag team from what I've seen. (Which admittedly isn't anything recent)
AmDrag - Push as this absolutely awesome all round wrestler and hopefully if given decent opponents and time the quality of his matches could get him over.
