10 Wrestlers Under 35 You'd Start a Company With

[Grimoire Lenin]

Title says the question pretty easily, if you were a wrestling promoter who just started a promotion, who would be your first 10 hires to serve as the foundation of your company? It can be from any company, but must be active wrestlers under the age of 35 in the modern day.

Will be interesting to see who everyone chooses!

Damn can’t believe I forgot Bron.

I’d take him over Melo

Damn can’t believe I forgot Bron.

I’d take him over Melo

Even if it took me a long while to wash the "2.0 stink" off him (While the people who graduated from it have mostly worked out well, the rebrand along with Vince's early 'booking' soured me a lot on it and spat in the face of anyone who watched golden era NXT, HBK has mostly righted the ship though) dude's a beast and has great potential. So MJF as a more 'traditional' smarmy but layered heel with him as the monster, both can be great villains for heroes to try to face who also have shown they can be faces/heroes if needed, just in their own ways.

[Grimoire Lenin]

Here's my selections, with a brief explanation for each pick. I'll be doing 6 men and 4 women, to make things somewhat even:

Men's

- Bron Breaker. I mean it's the obvious pick of the bunch here, he's one of the best young talents in the business today.

- Will Ospreay. He's one of the best in the world at the moment and in another 10 years, he could be among the best of all time, who knows.

- Dominik Mysterio. An odd pick at first but he's an absolute heat machine and great at getting people to hate him, you need one of those ultra-heels in your company.

- Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Speaking of ultra heels, MJF is another big pick that works as an ultra heel.

- Jacob Fatu. I love Solo Sikoa but Jacob's more of a total package, he's also got the crazy unhinged psychopath down pat.

- Konosuke Takeshita. He's awesome in the ring and is still fairly young. I see him continuing to get better, so he's absolutely a perfect choice for my start-up company.

Women's

- Io Shirai. It's crazy that she's been wrestling for so long but she's only 34. She'd be among the major centerpieces of my women's division, being arguably the best wrestler among the women.

- Rhea Ripley. She's the total package when it comes to women's wrestling right now. She's got the looks, the personality, the charisma, and the wrestling ability to stay over for a long time.

- Anna Jay. Consider this a personal pick but I love Anna Jay, she's only 26 and proving to keep getting better and better the more she's in the ring.

- Brandi Lauren. Also a fairly personal pick, I like her work, what can I say?
