This is more of a hypothetical scenario in which we discuss what roster we'd like to see. After seeing recaps of the press conference, it seems like they're building onto something special. The issue I only find right now is, do they have a big enough star to appeal to the American audience?
I mean respect to all stars involved currently, but I do believe they'd need to take initiative in appealing to the Western Audience. I'm a fan of professional wrestling but I'm also a fan of sports entertainment. All In, while great, seemed like they had a bunch of low budget skits and segments which didn't appeal to me in a positive manner. Then again, it's just me but it came off to bush league.
So whole point of this thread is to see what roster you'd like to see in AEW? I do think they'd need some familiarity there for some casual viewers to get hooked, but not on some TNA level where they undermine their own stars.
Currently I'll name my own personal list.
CM Punk - I don't think he'll do the deal, but it'd be a nice way to get eyes on the product. I don't think he's worth more than $2 million dollars a year especially if they're being taped
Wade Barrett - Could be a good way to see him come back in wrestling. His career was kinda cut short, so hopefully they do reach out to him.
Enzo and Cass - Could be a nice mix to the tag-division. They're not top picks, but still some familiarity with the audience.
Summer Rae either as a valet or wrestler.
Anyways, how about you guys? I'm not trying to have a huge list because I want AEW to be it's own entity. Someone tweet this thread to Cody or the Bucks. Might read it.
