One of my most thought about...thought when it comes to wrestling is how different wrestlers today would've been booked if Paul E. snatched them up.
ECW, as we all know, was known for its counter-culture product, which including more violence and sexuality than the other big wrestling companies.
So I thought it'd be fun if we all named a wrestler who is currently active, doesn't matter if they're an indy wrestler or signed by WWE or TNA, and create a gimmick or storyline for them in ECW, and then name a wrestler for the next person to do the same, and so on.
I'll start: Colt Cabana

I would keep the Colt Cabana gimmick and have him be a big goof who hangs out with the BWO and some of the other comedy characters. The ECW crowd loves him because he can still wrestle and he has a lovable, everyman quality about him. Dreamer acts as his mentor and thinks Colt has all the potential in the world if he could only focus. Colt keeps this up until Dreamer, Sandman, and Spike start their feud with the Dudleys over the latter's attack on Beulah. As Dreamer's protege, Colt gets targeted by Bubba, getting called soft and someone who should be curtain jerking in WWF as some goofy dancer. I'd shamelessly rip off the Cabana/Homicide ROH feud, with Cabana getting into hardcore matches with Bubba, proving himself as a true ECW star.
William Regal

William Regal William Regal would have fit in great when Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, etc. were there. I say toss him into matches with those guys (that way Paul E. can also have another thing to bitch about Bischoff stealing from him) and perhaps give him a match with Shane Douglas for the title.

Easy, give him Mike Awesome's push as an unbeatable monster heel who brutalizes the likes of Spike Dudley on his way to the world title.

Samoan Gangster Party 2.0.  Samu and Night Train (Rosie from 3MW) were the original Samoan Gangster Party and had a short stint in WWE as well as wrestling briefly in ECW against the Gangstas and others. Here, I'd have the Usos adopt the gimmick, wearing business suits and shades and renting their services out to The Franchise. They would be a pair of tough, seemingly impervious to pain Samoans who had the advantage of being lightning fast in the ring. They'd never talk, no sell most things, and take people out for the Franchise until turning on him at some point. Cody Rhodes |

Or, since it was ECW, you could thug them out, have them sometimes do a cool dance, and be involved in blood baths. Next: David Otunga |

Rather than playing by the rules, I'd just have everyone switch their finishers to the DDT so they'd fit in.

He debuts as a very capable yet VERY entitled 2nd gen wrestler. Total arrogant prick. Then Terry Funk comes in to beat some toughness into him cause by God Terry Funk hates the Rhodes family. They could have some sweet matches, getting more hardcore along the way. Finally Cody toughens up and earns Funk's(and the fans) respect. |

Goldust would have that creepy pseudo-gay stalker gimmick he had when he first came into the WWF, only more raunchier because it was ECW.
John Cena.

Would have probably worked well in 2000's dying days of ECW. Good news: He'd be freestyling again. Bad news: Because it was 2000, they'd probably make his rapper gimmick a more blatant Eminem ripoff than it was. (On the plus side, the feud between Cena and Kid Kash would have probably been really good.) AJ Styles. |

Just have him go and do what he does best and that's wrestle, book him against RVD, Lynn or Sabu and odds are he'll be one of the more over guys on the roster. Alberto Del Rio |

The "evil" Spike Dudley- would try to be a Giant Killer, but fail miserably, go after Spike and feud with him regularly. Masato Tanaka and Mike Awesome would have events between which one could throw their guy through the table for length and impact. Magnus |

Team him up with someone like Doug Williams or Nigel McGuiness as a pair of Guy Richie-style cockney criminal Hooligans. No one can understand what they're saying but they beat the shit out of people with strong style wrestling and cricket bats. Eventually they'll turn face because beating people with sticks turned everyone not named Justin Credible into faces in ECW.
Damien Sandow
