If You Could...

[Captain Charisma]

If you could push 5 superstars who will you push and how would you pushed?

Curt Hawkins, Alex Riley, Jack Swagger, Daniel Bryan, Michael McGillicutty.

Hawkins: Probably I'd tag him up with Zack Ryder and here is a good team for you. But they won't be like Zack "Goofy" Ryder, they will be more serious and as heel.

Alex Riley: Hate that WWE doesn't push this guy. Great in ring, good on mic, great charisma and fitness. He showed great potential in 2010 and 2011 but they pulled him from main roster scene. Speculations say that it's because he had an argument with John Cena.

Jack Swagger: Face turn, American gimmick, feud with Cesaro and United States Champion. Simple, classic, great.

Daniel Bryan: This guy is getting push for sure and I am a fan of Team Hell No but it is time for them to split and have a short feud than DB should play for WWE or World Heavyweight Championship. Best wrestler and superstar in the roster with CM Punk. Also wanna see Punk vs DB once again, without a stupid girl running around them.

Michael McGillicutty: Triple H's support? Check. Rock's and Brock's support? Check. Talent? Check. Then why WWE doesn't push him. He is a good in ring worker and not bad on mic. He has potential. WWE should use him on main roster, not on NXT

Brodus Clay: Time to drop the ridiculous Funkasaurus crap and make this guy into the monster Heel he is meant to be.

Zack Ryder: Dude has proven he can get the crowd behind him and is solid in the ring... Don't think he needs to drop his gimmick, just needs to tone it down a bit..

The Uso's: Super solid tag team who need to be more involved in the division, while Hell No and Rhodes Scholars have worked well as slapped together teams I think
established teams like the Uso's are what the division really needs to show new fans what tag team wrestling is all about

Justin Gabriel: I think he'll be back in the picture as a tag with Evan Bourne once he returns but this guy is too talented to not be on TV, well, ever.... It was thrown together last minute but the brief feud with Cesaro proved he can hang in the ring with just about anybody... would be nice to see him back in a US or IC title feud

Damien Sandow: I think the Rhodes Scholars team is at or at least nearing its end and I'm really hoping Sandow gets thrown right into a good feud with a top name. His matches with Sheamus have all been really good and I think he could be one of the top heels in the company given his great combination of ring work and mic skill

Adrian Nevile: I know nothing about this guy outside of NXT, but in the 2 matches I have seen there is no reason to keep this guy off the main roster. With a roster filled with guys like Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Sin Cara, Hunico, Commacho, Seth Rollins, Tyson Kidd, & the soon to be renamed El Generico, Nevile would be the guy to bring back a light/cruiser title.

Bo Dallas, Bray Wyatt, Ted DiBiase, & Brett DiBiase(if he is still with the company?): Everything old is new again. Just like in the 90's when a former tag team was used to create a new stable with The Hart Foundation, I would follow in the footsteps of their fathers and reform the new Money Inc., Even use Ted & Mike in the sneaky manager roles. Holding both the IC, & US titles, as well as the Tag titles would be the most I would give them at this point.

I'm also surprised how Alex Riley is and has always been popular with the crowd and they choose to do nothing to push him. Even when he came back from his surgery and was showing up on NXT while it was still part of the Smackdown tapings he was getting decent reactions, it's a shame that they have someone the crowd already likes and won't use him in a more prominent capacity.

Unfortunately Brett DiBiase is no longer in the company and I'm pretty sure is out of wrestling at the moment.

I don't really watch RAW/SD so it is hard for me to even place where to put 5 guys because everything is so different now. Daniel Bryan not holding a singles title or in a feud over a belt is unfortunate. I enjoy watching NXT every week, seems to be a show that is written more for the wrestling I like to watch, there are many people who should be brought up and pushed and I'd say Paige being one of the biggest names that should be wrestling on the higher card. I would put her on a chase for the Divas Championship and have her win it and when she won it have them change the name of the title back to women's championship. I would split Divas into a separate brand that didn't involve the female wrestlers, maybe have a few that crossover and wrestle but only if they are trained well and turn "Divas" into the group of women who are not wrestlers but are involved in storylines and other bits.

The 3 of them(or even just Bo & Ted Jr.) could still make it work. Kinda sucks since this was an idea I have had for the 4 of them for some time now.

 

[Mick Donalds]

A big part of how I would turn the direction of the company around would be to reinvest in tag teams. I'd put tag teams together and actually leave them together for a few years. Bring back a TLC match here and there to keep it fresh.

Rhodes Scholars. Push 'em to the moon. Give them the belts at Wrestlemania and let them dominate the tag division. For a straight year.

Dean Ambrose: Let him have more mic time. Develop him into a mentally unbalanced, sociopath type of character.

Hunico: Guy has too much talent to be stuck in a cliche'd, Russo-esque "East LA Vato" gimmick. Turn him face.

The Uso's: They're exciting, but would need to be able to cut promos.

Glad we agree on this, they could really use a manager as i don't think either of them will get any better on the mic anytime soon.... i know most people are sick of Teddy Long but he was great as a manager way back when...

Long gone are the days of Thuggin and Buggin Enterprises though, Teddy Long managing tag teams makes the most sense by far though if that was the case. Personally I think the Uso's had the right set up when they came onto tv with Tamina, they wore suits, they didn't act like the stereotypical islander tag team. The Uso's would have been the team I would have put up with Armando Alejandro Estrada, unbelievable that they had him on payroll for months and didn't put him back to work managing anyone.

problem was when they came on w/ tamina the tag division was such an afterthought... Now that it has re-emerged somewhat I think it would be a great time to bring teams like them and Primo/Epico back into the picture.... and i'm such a mark for smarmy heel managers, they need to bring more in..

Agreed, tag team wrestling in WWE hasn't been much to write home about for a long time. I hope to see it continue to grow again, the new NXT Tag Title tournament has been great and hopefully this means WWE will start bringing in tag teams and keeping them intact to go through developmental.
I thought when Armando Alejandro Estrada was around he was great, I think WWE took exception to the fans chanting with him and maybe thought it wasn't helping get over the wrestler he was managing. I was very entertained by Umaga and thought when he was managed by AAE was again another time where WWE had realized the error of their ways and would be using managers again.

Wade Barrett - His mic skills from day one were superior to most on the roster and he's gotten much better in the ring for such a short time. The ease in which WWE initially got him over as the head of Nexus shows me the potential for Wade to become a truly despicable heel. What he desperately needs right now, though, is a more defined character, something that directs his actions a bit more or gives him a distinguished image. I know they've already put the IC title on him, but if that's the extent of the planning behind this current "push" then he'll just end up circling the mid cards. Which brings me effortlessly to...

Kofi Kingston - What WWE need more of imo are top babyfaces. No, I don't expect or even want Kofi to be the new Cena or Orton level babyface, but some more prominent, genuinely likeable underdogs wouldn't hurt. Most would agree Miz has been disappointing so far or at least hasn't sorted out how to adapt yet, Sheamus' lack of charisma turns me off, Ryback has been effectual but more one-dimensional, etc. Kofi Kingston is, I think, a guy a lot of people really want to get behind and feel he really hasn't been given his chance yet. He's as good in the ring as he's ever going to be at this stage, all he needs is a gimmick for a talking point and a heated rivalry like vs Orton that boldly allows him to get over and fans should embrace him. No one really knows where a legit Kofi push would end up, and that makes me wanna see what happens next more than the prospect of any Cena title reign.

Jack Swagger - I'm not convinced we've seen everything Jack has to offer and that not everyone is sick of him. I think the most obvious route to getting a guy like Jack noticed is a manager, preferably a decent mouthpiece. That is to say, please NOT Vickie Guerrero. She's fine just as an added heat magnet for guys like Edge or Ziggler who can back themselves up when its their time to talk. But she's not eloquent or particularly interesting to listen to when she's trying to get a point across. Neither is Jack. What he needs is someone to fill that void and give Jack more of a mean streak. Let him pulvarize and rag doll slam cruiserweights playing up his superior background, agility and size while a manager sings his praises ringside or on commentary, and you could make Jack Swagger an interesting force. Still, he should be more of a main stay mid carder or used as fodder in high profile matches.

That's all I've really got.

Firstly before pushing guys up the card, i'd give a bunch of guys a push out of the company who haven't done anything, won't do anything and are generally worthless.

Riley, Hawkins, Bourne, JTG, Yoshi, Bateman are just the start of who could be released and not a single fuck would be given. They're beyond useless and for what little use they get out of them, they could easily substitute in someone from NXT who will have a future.

As far as who I would like to be pushed, alot of the guys have been mentioned.

Kofi: Defiant said it best.

Swagger: I personally don't think he needs a mouthpiece although that may be the case with this newer serious, aggressive edge he has going. His initial promo work when he was the slightly goofy WHC was perfectly fine and I think he would of stuck around if they kept him on that track but they decided to suit him up and try to be Chris Jericho.

Cesaro: Reminds me alot of Swagger before he won the MITB really as everytime he steps in the ring with the main eventers like Orton & Ryback the guy looks totally legit and looks as if he belongs in there. Continue his nice US Title run but when it comes time for him to drop it, don't take your foot off of the gas with him instead slowly transition him up the card. Someone like a Kane or Jericho would be a good stepping stone to further legitimise him.

Hunico: He's been off of TV for ages now so drop the shitty stereotypical gimmick and have him return with a new name and mask. Align him with Sin Cara and let him carry on Rey's work.
