Alright, we've got Orton and Priceless right now. Orton's gone on record in his interview with ESPN saying how he's had his eye on Smith, so I think that's probably the strongest possibility. Then we've got rumors of Natalya going to Raw, as she's not comfortable with the "Divas" title and label. She wants to compete for the historic Women's Championship.

Also, I heard a rumor that Reid Flair was potentially going to have a dark match on Raw next week, which is why Ric was initially going to be there for that along with the Jericho storyline. It makes sense, because WWE commented on the injury to Reid and called it "backsetting". Orton running into Ric next week on Raw should be interesting. I'd imagine Orton to comment on the injury and Reid's Legacy.

I don't know how likely it is that they get any more than just one of the 3, or how likely the rumor of Reid's dark match was, but... if they were to nab Flair, Smith, and Natalya... could you imagine how dominant they'd be?

Tbh, Legacy should either bring in DH Smith OR Reid Flair, having both of them would kinda overcrowd te stable and possibly prevent the Legacy from reaching it's full potential. As for Natalya she is a possibility to join the Legacy but she isn't "needed" so to speak but she could be a part of Legacy's domination of Raw if it were to happen (WHC: Orton, IC = Reid or DH, Tag Titles = Cody & Ted Jr, Women's = Natalya) which would be kinda cool.

Now as for who to choose out of Smith and Flair, I'm not really sure tbh. I think I might go with DH because he kinda stands out from the rest but then again so did Manu and his run in the Legacy was exactly successful. Now as for Reid, he fits the mould and would blend in well with the rest of the guys already in the Legacy if you ask me but Orton having three "lackeys" who are pretty much all nearly the same wouldn't exactly be a good idea either unless WWE can come up with something to make Reid different from the rest so I dunno really. I think Reid probably has a greater chance of achieving success as I don't see DH really ever reaching the ME scene so it may be best to leave him out of the Legacy and possibly have him go his own way.

Well 1st they need to focus on the members in Legacy that they have. They need to rebuild themselves from what Shane did to them, twice. And by that I mean Shane single handly taking them out. And Dibiase and Rhodes they make them seem weak without Orton. They either get beat up in their matches, or have dumb finishes. They're seeming weaker and weaker (to me) every week. Focus on building them up as credible threats before adding new members.

As for new additions, Smith and Natalya would be good additions to Legacy. Natalya should be on RAW will the real competition is, and Smith, I've always liked him, and that's because of his dad. I wasn't watching wrestling when he did, but I've seen his matches on some dvd's and they were good, great even. I'm hoping I can see that in DH too. But Reid? No way. This guy had his 1st ever pro wrestling match just in December of 08. Would you really bring in somebody like that into a major storyline on RAW? I don't know about his training or how much he's had, but I'm sure he still A LOT to learn. I wouldn't bring him to the main roster at all yet. Is he even employeed with WWE?

EDIT: Regarding Reid: I'm not including his WCW time. I didn't see it but doing research, he wrestled that match in 98, he was only 10/11.

IMO...Legacy is working out pretty damn well with just three guys. I suppose DH Smith would make a decent fit. However, this guy has been floating around the roster doing absolutely nothing for over a year. Obviously something was seen in Cody and Ted that wasn't see in him.
If they do indeed decide to stick him in there they really need to find the right moment, or else it'll just seem like a rush decision. Cody and Ted had to go through so much shit to get into Legacy...just inserting him into the mix may be kinda weird.

If Legacy does have a lengthy run it would definately be beneficial to add DH and Natalya... it would make a clean title sweep on RAW possible. As of right now these guys don't even have group entrance music (as silly as it sounds it does say a lot for the longevity of the stable). I think Orton and Priceless are doing a fucking phenominal job with this thing right now.
If they think they can make it even better...hell...go for it.

Reid's supposedly been dominating amateur wrestling. I don't know how true the rumors of a dark match are though, but I did read recently that Flair gave WWE his approval if they wanted to sign him to a contract when he graduated.

Also, Triple H has given his blessing to Legacy. He's told Vince he thinks it's awesome, and supposedly asked Motorhead if they'd consider doing the theme for Legacy. Again, another rumor I've heard... but it's believable.
