WWE Wrestlers Who Are More Suited for TNA and Vice Versa?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Any that come to mind for you?

I could actually picture Ziggler doing fairly well in TNA and perhaps reach more of his potential. The WWE main event scene is just too crowded for him and he has nowhere else really to go, but down.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Jack Swagger would fit more into TNA, but these days I'm not sure if it he'd really fit in well anywhere as he doesn't do much for me anymore. I think him feuding with Angle would be entertaining, but after that I don't know what else could be done with him that would honestly interest me.

Bobby Roode would be perfect in WWE. Kofi is in an even worse place than Ziggler, IMO, and could use a fresh start in TNA.

Agree with your picks for sure dude. I'd also like to add that I think Alberto Del Rio may be a better fit as far as his style in the ring goes, not to mention that I think he could do with a little more freedom when it comes to his character and promo work. As far as who I think could go the other way? Robbie E and Jessie Godderz could fit very easily into the WWE system and find a lot of success, they're naturally charismatic and do good character work which is what the WWE is always looking for.

WWE to TNA
Drew McIntyre - I can't help but think TNA would bring the best out of Drew. He'd be able to bring out a bit of the less-PG stuff that he did outside of the WWE when he was doing the ladies man thing.

Kofi Kingston - I reckon he'd be X-Division champion within a month of going there and be in and out of the TNA World title picture

Sin Cara - The guys in TNA, specifically the X-Division, might be more suited to working with Sin Cara. He gets a lot of stick for botching but going from lucha libre to WWE style with no developmental run can't be easy. A lot of the guys in TNA that he'd be going against have experience in the style.

Wade Barrett - World Champion, without a doubt. He'd be one of their top heels.

Zack Ryder - Team him with, or put him against Robbie E, you're sorted.

I'm almost inclined to say Natalya too, as I think she'd be taken more seriously there. Also, put Kaitlyn, AJ, Eva Marie and Layla into TNA too. Not for their benefit... but for ours

TNA to WWE
Bobby Roode - I've always thought Roode would have slotted in perfectly with Evolution. After all, he is 'HHH v2'. Great worker, good on the stick, good business sense. Who knows, he could even marry Aurora!

Lei’D Tapa - She might be on the green side, but I'm pretty certain she'd go down a storm in WWE with the higher ups. Her and Tamina would make a great team to go against Natalya and a returning Beth Phoenix. Then Kharma returns and it all gets crazy...

Magnus - Guy has WWE written all over him. Good look, good promos and a fairly good worker. I could see him as the top guy in either company to be honest. The only thing I feel would hold him back in WWE is the fact he's English. I'm starting to think we'll never get that English WWE or World Heavyweight champion.


Samoa Joe - Look what a WWE return has done for RVD and most recently Goldust. Granted, Joe won't be returning, but I can't help but think if he went to WWE, we'd get old Joe back. Some of the possible matches would be amazing. I'd actually really love to see Cena vs. Joe.

Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, and Samoa Joe would be interesting in WWE. I could see Jinder Mahal being sort of big in TNA for some reason.

I actually think the X Divsion title would be too far below Kofi if he went to TNA. Unless he did something like won the X Division title in his TNA debut, which happened around the time of Destination X and then used the X Division title to cash in on a world title shot. Given how much exposure Kofi has had in WWE over the last few years, even with the yo-yo pushing I think if he suddenly went to TNA, the company would have to give him a huge push off the bat to get the most out of him. Anything less and he'd just fall into former WWE guy that TNA signed *yawn* territory.

I think a lot of WWE guys moving o TNA would have to be pushed pretty hard if they don't want to become uselss hires. Although I think Sin Cara would fit fine in the X Division midcard as you mentioned. Actually, if he could go back to being Mistico he could be a great special attraction especially when TNA goes into places with big Latin populations. I know the Mistico gimmick has already been taken by someone else, but there's been two people having the same name/gimmick loads of times.

[Juice]

Chris Hero was just released for supposedly being unmotivated and fat. As much as I want an early Joe back, it won't ever happen in WWE.

Roode is perfect for the E despite his age. There's tons of lower card guys in WWE who could have done well in TNA at one time, but I do think that the Christian Cage era of TNA has been over for a long time. Most of the WWE castaways since then have not been any bit impressive in TNA.

[The Man That Sanity Forgot]

I don't even think Roode's age would be a problem. He's 36, which is pretty average for most guys. He's the same age as Cena and Del Rio, and a year older than Punk. He could easily fit in the main event scene and be well suited to the WWE style too, so I imagine he'd be in the same boat as Bryan when he first came along. Couple of months in NXT and up to the main roster for big things.

[Lancers]

Kofi would be great for the X Division. I would like to see this incarnation of Bully Ray in the WWE.

I think Roode's age would be a little bit of an issue given these that WWE is pretty youth oriented when it comes to developing new stars for it's company. Even though Roode has been around for years and years, he would still be considered a new star in WWE. Still, I think Roode is talented enough to overcome it and make a splash with the company. Kind of a shame though as I think if the company had signed Roode around the time Evolution was around he could have been HUGE with the company. Pretty much right where Orton is now.

Austin Aries would be great in WWE, he has the mic skills, charisma, and wrestling ability, great as a heel or face.

It would be interesting, but my fear would be the WWE brass would see him as being too similar to Punk which could hurt him.
