I like my heel stable for now, so I guess I will switch to wrestlers that will be faces on my show. And as much as I hate it, I need someone good on the mic that is going to have a catchphrase that the idiots... I mean fans can chant along with. So let's go way back for my next guy. You can say what you want about this guy, but you must admit he is too sweet to be sour.

With their next selection in the draft, Team No Name selects:

I know, but with the douche nozzles that attend shows today, how long do you think it will take for him to be cheered? Three weeks max? As soon as they memorize his !main catchphrase he is a face

Anyway, the pick still seems fine, though if you're running DX then you're probably better off having them face off with goody-two-shoes Michaels instead of including him.

There's probably a decent bit of truth to this. I would probably book them as DX for a little while to get all the merchandise money, and then break them up so that they can have a good feud.

Jeff Hardy seems like really good value here. I'm not sure how well WCW DDP would get over today.

I'll add another face to my promotion here, and this one is going to be a hit with the ladies and children. He was at one time an NWA World Champ, and probably one of the most over talents in any territory in the world.

I don't see DDP having problems getting over today. If the RKO is this over then the Diamond Cutter is money.

I guess I don't know what about his character wouldn't translate to today, particularly as the character wasn't conventionally cool in the time that it got really over. It was a heel role meant to be intentionally tacky and uncool that just organically turned face because the fans really took to him.

DDP got over by not falling in line with a dominate heel group, so I see the environment I've made with the super corporation and figures he'd be a great fit

Not really sure how that's a different gimmick and not just an alignment change.

LKJ can rule on it, but I think there was a pretty big difference in his character during those two runs.

Yea I certainly don't think that's a different gimmick from main event DBry

I'm with Dylan on this one. I think that's a clearly different character rather than the same character just getting two different reactions.

So when Daniel wins the mitb briefcase in 2011 is that my gimmick, Dylan's gimmick or a 3rd gimmick?

I would say that Bryan's MITB is a separate gimmick than both of our versions. That would be part of the Daniel Bryan who was US champion and IC Champion from 2010-2011. I have Daniel Bryan from his heel turn in 2012 until his face turn with team Hell No. You have Bryan from 2013 until his retirement when he was the most over wrestler in WWE.
