Rescue two from Dark/Elevation

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

If you had the power to do so, who would you choose to bring into regular rotation on the main shows? (Note: obviously this list is subjective; people like The Factory appear on Dynamite sometimes, and I think some of these people, like Nese/Woods and the Trustbusters are just biding time until ROH reopens, but eh)

[Denny Zen]

I chose Slim J and Sonny Kiss. Mostly just the Trustbusters in general, but I think they could make a very entertaining odd couple tag team, and would be a solid addition to the division.

Slim J, in particular, has impressed me. When he first showed up in AEW I thought he was the dumbest thing I had ever seen. I still think that about his gimmick in a lot of ways (although I see now that it's not played entirely straight), but he's a really entertaining and talented wrestler.

Whoops forgot Kayla Rossi. No one was gonna vote for Kayla Rossi, were they?

[chronocross]

Dante Martin.

[Dub H]

Emi and Kip, both deserve it. One for the long ass time they have been there and the other one for completely reinventing him and connecting with the crowd.

Someone mentioned it before but they basically called slim j a jack Evans without the baggage.

That list looks like the future roster of ROH!

[Wieners=$$$]

Easily Emi and Sydal(if he also brings Dante with him).

[Psicofreak667]

I love Slim J's deliberately dated gimmick - like he's still playing the exact same gimmick he was playing as part of Special K back in 2004, but it's nearly 2 decades later and he's still Slim Shady.

But I had to go with Diamante and Nick Comoroto. I'm eh on Nick's new look but I think AEW needs more of both bigger guys and character guys, and Nick's both. As for Diamante, she's terribly underrated, she's been around forever, and I've long suspected her inability to get fully signed to the roster is because she stuck up for Ivelisse.

I would've voted for The Wingmen if they'd been an option.

And I'd love to negative vote Ogogo, who I'd be fine with never seeing again (not just in wrestling, but anywhere ever).

I was going to vote for Dante Martin, but he's in the title contenders tournament so I guess that counts as being off Dark (he's also had horrible luck thanks to his brother's injuries)

Instead, I voted for Butcher and the Blade and Emi Sakura. I think the tag division could benefit from a couple of bruisers like B&B showing up again and Emi's experience would help in the women's division.

Most of the people listed in the poll seem to be in the right place, IMO.

Disagree, personally. Neither Jack nor Slim was ever really given much of an opportunity to even show a personality, but on the rare occasions Slim has talked he's been pretty funny. 

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

For a serious push, Captain Shawn Dean. Just for entertainment’s sake, Peter Avalon.

Oh yeah, I meant to put in my original post. I would have voted Dante, but he's not stuck on Dark/Elevation. He's very much a prominently featured midcarder who gets pretty consistent TV time, relatively speaking.

Dante Martin still wrestles on Dynamite and Rampage, and will even be this week, so I feel like using a "Save" on him is a waste, they see a lot in the kid

For me it's Emi Sakura and Angelico, Emi's not appeared on either show since she came to the US and I do not understand why. Angelico's one of the most unique talents on the entire roster and definitely deserves more air time, as does Chazraps theme

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

I am very glad to see that the objectively correct answer is winning.

[Hypnosis]

Angelico and Emi.

They're too good to only be on Elevation and Dark.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I went Matt Sydal and Kip Sabian. Sydal is a veteran that I think still has a lot to offer and Kip is an underutilized younger guy.

[Allie Kitsune]

Sonny and Nemeth.

I want the Cream Saga on actual AEW TV, damnit.

Angelico seems to me like he'd fit like a glove into NJPW's Jr division, which makes me surprised he's not pushed hard in AEW. I think they've simply forgotten he works there.
