With news that WWE has signed an agreement with All Japan Pro Wrestling and room being made on the roster thru recent future endeavoring and contract expirations, who do you want to see WWE sign onto the company payroll? I, for one, would love to see for one year only, the following: Samoa Joe (because he's really good and I think he needs to get away from TNA for a bit) Kurt Angle (because he's really good, but getting really old) Scott Steiner (to be a backstage interviewer only) Dudley Boyz (to help with a resurgent tag team division) Colt Cabana (to be a tag team with CM Punk when he eventually loses the WWE title) Daffney (because she's f*cking crazy) Manami Toyota (to remind people what women's wrestling can be if given a chance) Kota Ibushi (no explanation neccessary) Makoto (because she really wants to be in WWE) Lin Byron (because she can do a shooting star press) Keiji Mutoh (Wrestlemania match at WM 29 which probably isn't going to happen because WWE is lame. Best we'll get is a HOF induction ceremony that won't be televised.)

Chris Jericho.

Did I mention I like Chris Jericho by the way? Because I do.

P.s. Pretty Much agree with most of your list, except that you forgot Funaki!

I still want Kurt Angle to return to the WWE. I'll admit that I don't know how he wrestles now because I do not watch TNA, but when he was in the WWE it didn't matter whether he was a face or a heel, his matches were excellent. His talent and time are wasted in TNA, especially with the horrors that he's been through with Jeff Jarrett and co. I would love to see Angle go against Punk, Danielson, Orton (again), and maybe even Swagger.

Oh, and yeah I'd love to see him go against Chris Jericho. That goes without saying though. :)

Everybody's talents are being wasted in TNA except the women. I don't think when TNA was founded that they wanted the largest part of their audience to just watch for the female wrestlers, but that's about all I can stand when I watch TNA. Plus, it's ironic that a promotion that's got the best female wrestling in the US is called TNA.

Samoa Joe is a must. Excellent worker and very entertaining style in the ring, great presence, unique look. Single handedly made the ROH World Heavyweight title the most important belt in North America at one point. The only thing he lacks is promo ability, but thats nothing that can't be remedied by a good manager like Paul Heyman.

Colt Cabana is another. Very good promo, very good worker. Hell, bring in Ace Steel as well and reunite the Second City Saints. The dynamic between Punk and Cabana is definitely something that would translate very well onto WWE TV.

Bring back Harry Smith! How they let this guy go in the first lace is beyond me. He could do very well with the right tag team partner in the tag division.

AJ Styles is another great talent that would flourish in the tag division and possibly singles if he really got over.

Ive been saying WWE should bring in Homicide for years. Great character, great promo, great worker.

I've gone back and forth on whether I want RVD in TNA or WWE. If he were the centerpiece of TNA, like it looked like he would be when he first popped up, I'd say stay, but that isn't the case. TNA gave us RVD-Lynn and I thank them for that. Who knows if they'll ever give RVD-Joe the status it deserves. Now I'd prefer him back with the E. If one thing has been clearly proven, it is the severe lack of depth for quality faces in WWE. Who would you rather see CM Punk feud with when he can't feud with John Cena? RVD or putting King in the hospital. RVD-Punk needs to happen. He'll never be world champion, but he can still be in some big time matches and feuds. RVD-Orton always delivers. RVD-Cena first happened right around when Cena was coming around in the ring. Revisting that could be great. Would it be a bigger win for Dolph Ziggler or Cody Rhodes over Kofi Kingston in a decent match, or RVD in a good match? I think RVD would match up well with Sheamus, even. What's the better team, RVD-Mysterio or Mysterio-Sin Cara. Mysterio-RVD got good matches out of KENZO SUZUKI. It's a pipe dream I've indulged in a few times, but if WWE's pushing tag team wrestling, bring in Roderick Strong and Jack Evans and let them ****in' blow people's minds. They don't fit the WWE mold and aren't going to work as singles, but as a team, I do believe they could catch on and be part of the solution to the tag team conundrum. Jack Swagger.

And i completely forgot a few names..... managers need to come back. They used to be such a big part of the show and getting the talent over. In addition to Paul Heyman, WWE should bring in Prince Nana and Ultramantis Black. Prince Nana is an awesome talker and his gimmick would easily get over with the WWE audience. I could see a WWE embassy working out very well for young heels who need a push. While Ultramantis Black's gimmick is somewhat goofy and ludicrous, he's an EXCELLENT talker, good worker, and is known for getting talent that would otherwise be considered mediocre to look somewhat credible in every version of his stable. He would be best used as a manager, preferably for someone like Abyss if he was to be brought in. Bring in Jimmy Rave for the embassy too, while youre at it, that is if he can get past his drug problem.

And i know it will NEVER happen, but bring back Jim Cornette while he still has some led left in his pencil!
