Which WWE/TNA star would you like to see in ROH?
Since everyone's always talking about who WWE should sign, I was wondering if there's anyone you'd like to see in ROH, even if just
for one match.
The reason I ask is because I feel that WWE-style of wrestling is the most boring style between TNA, WWE, ROH, and Japan (or what I've seen of
Japanese wrestling, primarily FMW I think and also not too recent) and ROH is the most exciting.
Whether or not you believe, as some do, that WWE keeps its wrestlers from doing all they can, it's a fact that WWE-style tends to plodding
matches, with weak strikes, lots of restholds (which the wrestler sits in for a while before inexplicably escaping), the same handful of low-impact
moves (suplex, bulldog, bodyslam, crossbody), a couple of signature moves per wrestler, pinfall attempts after every move no matter how weak, and then
almost always ends with a rollup, finisher, or cheap win. Granted there are exceptions (like Morrison/Rey and some other recent SD matches) but
that's the norm, even at PPVs.
By contrast, ROH style seems to be very stiff strikes (stiff enough that it's believable when someone wins with a clothesline), a variety of
high-impact moves, moves actually being tied together, a nice pace, and the matches don't need to end on a finisher or roll up. I don't
know about you, but I'd love to see some WWE/TNA stars fight in the style at least once.
So, if you were to pick some TNA/WWE stars (who have never been in ROH) to fight in this style, who would it be?
For me, it's:
John Morrison (against AJ Styles, another high flier who can still strike, do some technical wrestling, and always seems to pull out something new)
Kurt Angle
Shelton Benjamin
Jack Swagger
Carlito
Evan Bourne
I'd also love to see Brock v Joe.
