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 like this list a lot. Human Tornado's a great fit for the X-Division, Steen's such a good talent, Generico could be involved in some great comedy, Del Ray's pretty much the best choice for female Indy talent, and Hero, I think, is the best guy in ROH. And what's more, all of them have personality.

Indyana Jones. That is if there is one. If anyone takes this gimmick, I want 30 % and no less, I will be your manager and I will choose your bookings. I'm trademarking this gimmick... TNA should do this gimmick with someone.

Sexual Harassment (Eric Xtasy and Justin Idol) - Vince Russo would have a field day with these guys.

And you could park Justin Idol in the X division too. But I do agree those guys would be hysterical on TV.

Indies huh?

1. Gypsy Joe.
2. Fat guy who operates a vanity promotion around himself, and his talent are also fat guys, who know like two moves and punch.
3. Guy who could make it big, but has a bad attitude and NOOKLEAR HEAT.
4. Former 80's legend who didn't quite save enough money.
5. Fat guy in his late thirties whose never really made it.

I'm bad.

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. You're really smart, and I agree with every single word you wrote in your post.

2. Human Tornado. IMO, he's the most unique all-around talent on the U.S. Indy scene, and if anyone let him do his thing in small doses, that guy would get over like crazy on national TV, be it in TNA or WWE. In WWE's infinite wisdom, I assume they wouldn't sign him unless he gained 30 pounds, and then send him to FCW so Steve Keirn could re-train him the fine arts of being a sports entertainer . But TNA could sign HT this morning, and the guy'd be more over than 90% of the company after the next two TV tapings if they let him do his thing.

To me, Human Tornado doesn't really fit with ROH, but if this were 1996, Paul Heyman would've gotten this guy for ECW because he's talented, unique, and underutilized. He's money on the undercard, and you can shoot him up the card when the fans get behind him (and they will). Tornado's got room for improvement, 'cause he's young, but the guy's a heck of a talent, and ready to be seen by the masses.

How about a women's version? If they get the hour long, this is who they should bring in.

1. Shantelle Taylor
2. Sarah Stock
3. Daffney
4. Portia Perez
5. Alexa Thatcher full time.

I love Lacey and like Sara Del Ray and Daizee Haize, but tapping ROH is heat.

YES! I'm a huge Glenn Spectre mark. Does he still wrestle though? I thought he retired or was injured or something.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Also, here's a list of guys from the GA indy circuit I wouldn't mind getting signed at all:

1)Simon Sermon-The First Openly Gay Pro Wrestler could be amazing in TNA, especially if he brings his United Lightweight Championship title with him. Great wrestler, and gets amazing heat.

2)Nemesis-Not an amazing wrestler, but the guy gets tremendous heat out of crowds with his "stomping on the rebel flag" schtick. Of course, he's have to change that up out of the south, but it could work.

3)Murder One-Bit of an old guy on the scene, but he can still go, and still get great matches out of whoever he wants.

4)Kory "Soul Assassin" Chavis-Another great worker, formerly known as "Rainman". Dude is a tremendous worker with great personality, and had a brilliant few matches against Low-Ki last year that I loved.

5)Kid Ego Jr.- Not sure what he's going by now, but the guy would be a tremendous addition to the X-Division. He's a bit undersized, but he's a great high flyer.

Lupin (DragonGate NEX) & Eden Black (from England) - help give them a more international flair.

Not sure, I think he is injured. I know he was replaced in Sexual Harassment

Bobby Dempsey should come in and take out Kurt Angle.

If Bobby Dempsey came to TNA they'd have to rename the company to match what the fans would inevitably want. TNBD... Total Non-Stop Bobby Dempsey!

[Shazam]

Maybe I missed it, but nobody's mentioned the Human Tornado as of yet?

That guy is pure gold. He'd wreck house.

[mcmahonfan85]

i'm gonna go with no one. they've already got a full roster and until they utilize some of their current wrestlers better i don't want them to ruin anyone else

[Outsider744]

Daffney's as good as any female worker in the biz....she definitely needs a job!

Also, Timber and Josh Magnum from CWA are GREAT workers!
