If Vickie is building a stable/faction, who should she add?
Hypothetically, let�s just say Vickie takes Jack Swagger�s advice and creates a Bobby Heenan-like stable/faction in the WWE (again). Should she go
with dominating figures to establish power and respect by picking Mason or Clay? Pick guys who have a gripe for not being utilized correctly like Drew
McIntyre or Tyson Kidd? Or maybe she is just looking for another �pretty boy� as a trophy boo. It is also a possibility that whoever she picks could
be built as a tag team with the whole �revitalizing� campaign Triple H is trying to do now with the division. Start brainstorming and buzzkilling.
My personal top 3 canidates/potential aspects.
3. Brodus Clay
2. Mason Ryan
1. Drew "Beating off at the gym" McIntyre
...but thats just me.

Brodus, Kidd, and a tag team like Black & Steamboat or Hawkins & Baretta.

I'd definitely say Brodus Clay as well. I like him and he'd serve in the "big man" role of Vickie's stable.
One thing though, and I know the WWE ignores the brand split whenever they feel like it, but Barrett and Kidd are both on Smackdown. Unless Vickie is
going to manage guys on both shows, it seems like they'd be out of the running.
And I think there's a lot of potential for a Ziggler/Swagger team. They could channel Austin/Angle circa 2001, where they were both on the same
side but always fighting.
Nash is only a few inches bigger than JBL and depending on how stiff he gets Punk should be able to take it. -JB King, meant in a totally non-sexual

I don't think Barrett needs a manager as the guy is capable of ranging from main event to "good hand" all on his own depending on the feuds he
gets.
I think Ziggler's poised to step out of Vicky's shadow shortly, so they could probably use that kind of mid-card role player, as I think
Swagger has the potential to go further with a bit of character rehab. I think I'd go with Drew to fill in the #2 spot behind Swagger.
After that, I wouldn't add any more singles wrestlers (maybe on the off chance a female wrestler if they put more of an effort into that stuff),
and just isntead find her a tag team to manage... For those few times they'd maybe do a big stable type war I think you'd want a big
muscle guy, so I'd sign up either Brodus or Mason for that role, one or the other, but not both. Tyson Kidd could use a spot, so he'd be
my other pick.
Alternatively, Otunga and McGuilicutty were making progress with some tag team moves and both have a good look, but could use some help getting heat
and on the mic, so they might be the more logical choice as they are already established as a tag team.

Totally agree with this. I want to see more of the ziggler we see on Z:ATLIS. A bitching smarky "heel ziggler" character prodding an also heel
vickie and her ever expanding stable could be great.
As for the stable I think you need a minimum of either 4 guys (2 singles and a tag team) or 3 singles wrestlers so I would go with:
Swagger,
Brodus, and either:
a) McIntyre; or
b) a tag team of Sheffield and Tyler Reks

I think Otunga/McGuillicutty tag team would be the way to go. No need to split these two up. I may be in the minority but I think Otunga can be a
asset. Id also consider Beth and Natalia with her as well.
I personally think Jack Swagger would have fit in well with Awesome and Truth. Would have been a nice three way stable.
They should pick up where they left off with Drew and Kelly Kelly...and turn Drew Face.

I would heartily endorse Brodus Clay. Imagine the rain of boos the two of them would get when Vickie comes out and can back up her bitchiness with
that monster behind her. People will have to take notice (in storyline fashion).
I think Clay, Swagger, and Kidd would be a great three man squad. Kidd and Clay would make a very interesting tag team. I hope the WWE stays with
Kidd, he always impresses in the ring and is one of the few guys who will slap in a submission on someone and then scream at the top of his lungs. I
don't know why, I just like the attention to little details like that in the ring. Shows how it can still be an artform out there.

I think Swagger is wrong for Vickie's stable. Swagger needs more of a former hard ass type to get him away from the comedy bits. If wwe could
ever get their hands on Kurt Angle, he'd be perfect. Outside of that I'd go with somebody like Arn Anderson for Swagger.
I think Drew McIntrye is the most under-utilized talent on the roster. I love the guy in the ring, but I think he stiffs the hell out of people. I
don't think Vickie is what he'd need either. I think Regal would make a helluva manager and be perfect for Drew.
I'd also throw Mason Ryan in with Regal and potentially Wade Barrett to have a UK faction.
I'd probably split Guerrero and Ziggler. I think they're holding each other back a bit now. Have Vickie cost Ziggler the title to her
new charge and claim that Ziggler peaked, whereas the sky is the limit with John Morrison. Ziggler goes face, Morrison heels with Vickie. Maybe we
could get the HBK/Sherri dynamic with Morrison and Vickie. I'd add Brodus Clay into Vickie's faction as the bodyguard role for Morrison
while also wrestling on his own from time to time. Vickie would also manage Tyson Kidd, but would be kept separate from Morrison's circle.
Kidd would team with Brodus in the tag ranks as well as work singles. I just don't think Kidd has the "it" to ever be a top guy, but
he's a very solid hand and I think Brodus/Kidd could be a good tag team under Vickie. Morrison could use a lackey of sorts - somebody like
Heath Slater could work.
Skip Sheffield should be released.
I remember Eddie Guerrero.

I hated Dupree when he was around, but when I go back and watch old stuff I have no idea why, because he wasn't a bad hand at all. If they
hadn't sandbagged him with the "generic evil foreigner" gimmick, he may have actually been able to develop into a player. His look is
radically different now and IIRC he's still in his late 20s so we may see him again in a WWE ring.
Back to the topic at hand, Clay and Kidd are my top two candidates to be in the Vickie Family. McIntyre could work, but I second what C. Monty said
about pairing him with Regal, instead.
I don't want Vickie coming within 100 yards of Barrett.

Few things kept me watching Smackdown like the Franco-Nippon combination of Dupree, Kenzo, and Hiroko.
