5 TNA roster members WWE should sign
Jumpstart the WWEBoth the WWE and TNA have come off of poor years. 2015 saw RAW receive its worst ratings in almost 20 years, a time when Mabel and Nash were at the top of the card. Desperate times indeed.TNA was forced to change networks yet again as Destination America dropped the promotion. TNA has moved to tv guide channel ‘POP TV’ in the United States as it attempts to resurrect itself yet again.Now, WWE has decided to expand its horizons beyond lethargic muscleheads (Luther Reigns) and onto good in ring workers - Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Seth Rollins and the like. WWE’s new thought process has seen them sign the best talent from other companies (see: A.J. Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura from NJPW, Tyler Black and Kevin Steen ,ie,Rollins and Owens from ROH and so on).The list will focus, not on young talent that WWE can enhance, but also on stars that will help fix WWE’s lagging ratings and bring in some money at the earliest. With TNA struggling to pay talents and company morale at an all time low, I present the top 5 TNA roster members WWE should sign:
#5 Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle is, as we speak, on a retirement tour with TNA. He is handpicking his opponents as he enters the final few weeks of his tenure with the company. For years, rumours have persisted that Kurt will sign for WWE, but the opportunity never came to pass despite Angle being in favour.
Now, with him winding up his TNA tenure, I feel it is the perfect time for WWE to bring Angle back. Give him a run of a few months, culminating in a special match at WrestleMania and a subsequent Hall of Fame induction.
Kurt can still go in the ring and can tear the house down with a wide variety of Superstars in the WWE. Perhaps WWE could do an Angle vs Cesaro feud with Cesaro getting the rub. Another possibility is maybe Angle managing Chad Gable and Jason Jordan (think world’s greatest tag team #2).
His amazing mat ability means Kurt is almost guaranteed to have amazing matches. Should WWE sign Kurt, excitement and interest in the product will rise, which let’s be honest, is ‘best for business’.
