So it’s been about a year since I did one of these. I tried to make the choices as difficult as possible.

Props to you, these are difficult. I'm keeping Black, Ricochet, Rusev, Rollins and Joe if I'm getting full creative control.
Out of the five guys I chose to fire (Balor, Braun, Zayn, KO, Elias) I'd probably have the easiest time getting rid of Elias. Very entertaining, but due to being the weakest in the ring, he doesn't have the ceiling of the others. Finn would be the toughest one.

Finn, Owens, Zayn, Joe, Rollins.
If I could keep six, Ricochet. If I could keep seven, Black.
Rusev doesn't want to be there from the looks of things, Elias does nothing for me, Strowman could use a run in Japan.

Hmm pretty even roster here.
Keep: Seth - Biggest name here. Black Ricochet - these two are rising stars, they're gonna blow up real fast. Last 2 are tough... Let's strike Rusev, Braun, Owens... the booking has cooled their heat already... Sami seems to be annoying and I don't wanna deal with him backstage with all that manic energy... Elias has the least upside of my remaining 3 So my last 2 I keep are Joe, gotta keep some vets to help the new guys and Finn, great PR and if I keep him around I can steal his LEGO mini figs.

Keep: Black, Rusev, Sami, Ricochet and Finn.
Rusev and Sami are two of my favourite wrestlers, doomed to never really be pushed properly (seriously, Becky is the first wrestler I've really liked to get a proper main event push since The Rock).
Black and Ricochet have star quality, and are incredibly entertaining to watch. And Finn? He's just so likeable, even if his character is one of the blandest in the entire industry.

This is tough.
Keep: Rollins (Favorite wrestler besides the miz/taker) Joe (He's a badass, he's Samoa Joe, Do I need to explain?) Black (I was wrong about this man. I wasn't impressed to begin with but he has grown on me. I really appreciate his work) Rusev (He is great in whatever you have him do. He has been robbed and robbed again and again. Give him a proper WWE title run) Kevin Owens (One of the best talkers, great brawler)
Fire: Ricochet (any of the high-flyers on 205 could fill his shoes *ducks*) Strowman (Horrible what WWE has done to him but I've lost interest, scrap him) Zayn (jobber) Elias (is he even a wrestler? Get him off my screen!) Balor (the demon is cool, but when not the demon I am sick of his smiling face. Bullet club is beast, Balor club not so much)

Surprised how many votes Aleister Black has so far.

Surprised how many votes Aleister Black has so far. I'm a little surprised too, but I think a lot of people are realizing how great he really is in the ring even if they find the gimmick corny (which isn't being helped by the candles and sound effect during his entrance).

I chose to keep:
Braun - A big man that can cut good promos & have good matches. Just needs better booking & he’s a top star.
Balor - Awesome as the Demon & just needs more character as himself instead of just smiling all the time.
Owens - Big fan of Owens & it was between him & Black to keep. I just am more invested in Owens than Black so I kept Owens.
Ricochet - Awesome high flyer that can have a good run. Only issue is I’m not sure that Vince will see him as anything more than a mid carder.
Joe - Joe is great when he’s booked correctly. It was annoying to see him be made to look like a joke for so long. I’m glad they’re finally making him look like a threat. A few more months of strong booking in the mid-card can put him back into the main event scene.
Got rid of:
Black - It was between him & Owens for the last spot but I like Owens more
Elias - Great on the mic but he’ll never be a main event talent
Rusev - Not a fan. Just see him as a good hand in the mid card at best
Zayn - I really like him as a heel but I don’t see him as a main eventer
Rollins - I don’t mind him but I kinda cooled off on him a bit where he’s gotten kinda stale to me. I’m not sure that I see him as a top main event star anymore.

I`m still not sold enough to keep him above Strowman,Joe,Rollins,Owns and Balor.But yeh he is pretty good.

Black, Braun, Finn, Ricochet, Rollins.
Joe was the toughest cut, only deciding factor was age/ wear & tear

Keep: Aliester Black - love the look and style. I think he can be a star now.
Kevin Owens - He stands out by blending in. A think the every man babyface role is money.
Ricochet - The craziness sells. There will always be a spot for a guy like him.
Seth Rollins - I think has the potential to be an HBK type of talent where he can be heel or face as the situation needs.
Samoa Joe - It was him vs. for the final spot. I think Joe is in a win now spot. There aren't many guys on the roster who can pull off the badass character like Joe can. While he's a heel now, he can easily move to the face side of things with little change as his stuff with Brock showed.
Gone: Sami Zayn - In a weird way, despite being out as long as he has been, I still feel bored with him.
Finn Balor - The pretty boy face stuff is old and the demon sucks.
Braun Strowman - They completely killed him.
Elias - Toughest one. I think there is time left with Elias, so he can always return, possibly a bigger star.
Rusev - He's shown he deserves better than he's been given. This is more a get out of jail free than having nothing for him.

- Seth Rollins - Samoa Joe - Ricochet - Aleister Black - Balor
Had a hard time choosing between Balor and Rusev. I barely chose Balor because he puts on better matches.

Man... that was hard.
Rollins, Ricochet, Joe and Owens were no brainers for me.
The last one was honestly a toss up between Black, Elias, Sami and Balor. I went for Black though. Purely because we haven’t seen the best of him yet. If the rest were to leave tomorrow, I think we’d all agree that they had a good run.
I never cared for Braun or Rusev to be honest.

Ricochet, Rusev, Joe, Rollins, Balor. My last cut was between Balor and Braun. Aleister just does nothing for me. I don't dig his gimmick, his physique, his moveset, nothing.

Damn, that was tough.
I went: Balor- this guy not getting pushed more is baffling to me. He's got a great look and always gets over when they give him something to do. I don't think they've scratched the surface of what they can do with him. Ricochet- he's really damn impressive and could be a huge star I think. Rusev- Like Balor, needs to be doing more. Great as a heel and as a face. Joe- top heel potential. Second best promo in the company behind Bryan IMO. Rollins- massively over, long career still ahead of him. Guy you can build the company around.
Braun, Sami and KO I think are all kind of damaged goods and have hit their ceiling in the company. I love Elias but he's IMO less essential than the 5 I picked. And I honestly don't really get Aleister and don't see the big deal. He's not bad by any means but compared to the others I wouldn't take him over anyone.

So I tried to get a split of face/heel in my mind as I did this...
Ricochet and Sami Zayn are kept aboard as faces. Samoa Joe and Finn Balor are kept aboard as heels. Aleister Black is kept aboard as a tweener.
