Chris Hero has been one of the kings of the indies for the last 15 years, and it amazes me still that the WWE couldn't find a way to use him on the main roster. He is an excellent worker with plenty of great matches; there was one in particular with Low Ki that I can't find anywhere online that I remember being spectacular.
My first pick will be the man with the most devastating arsenal of moves in the wrestling world today...
Spoiler:
Eat your heart out Roman Reigns... the chainsaw:
The mystical hadouken:
The... um, WHATAMANEUVER, dunno what it is but it's pretty awesome:
and, of course, the axe kick to the face of a 9 year old girl:
It's the great Kenny Omega, of course! He'll be well suited as a comedy wrestler who can actually also wrestle, which will appeal greatly to the smarks. He's also fluent in both Japanese and English, which might come in handy if I ever want him to play some evil foreigner heel.
For my second pick, I'll take someone sliiiiiiightly different than that:
Spoiler:
Steve Blackman. Hey, Ken Shamrock went in the 13th, how bad can this really be? I'm sort of hoping that the arsenal of people I've acquired who are good at actual fighting/technical wrestling will bring out the best in him. Either that or I'll just have him go nuts on people with kendo sticks. Might make a good villain for Bobby Heenan at some point.
Kenny Omega is the guy I was referring to earlier. I'm sorry if I made it so obvious and messed with the draft a little. For those who don't know him, just go on youtube and watch the awesome spots/matches/skits/promos he does. He is a real life anime character that can double as both a comedy and serious guy. Plus he is awesome and creative in the ring. He has been purposely overacting his promos in NJPW recently and they're hilarious. I have no doubt he could be a high midcarder or maybe even main eventer in WWE but he is so perfect in Japan that I hope he never leaves.
He also has the best entrance theme in wrestling today.

For those that don't know what he's doing here, he shaves his arm a few days before the match so the stubble digs into his opponent. On another level.
I also encourage everybody to watch Omega vs Bryan at PWG's "100". Funniest match you will ever see. It features Roshambo and an appearance by a couple of John Jangle Jingle Heimer Schmidt's. I have it upped on YT somewhere but not sure I remember the user/pass.
Im going to go lucha libre with my 4 picks. I will start off with probably the most famous masked wrestler of all time. Ill take Mil Mascaras. Then Ill stick with the Mil theme and take Mil Muertes. Them Ill go WCW Lucha Libre and take Ciclope and Super Calo
Perhaps that was patched up. I was under the impression that Schiavone harbored anti-JR resentment from their NWA days. I definitely remember him taking some shots at JR. I also feel like I remember JR taking the high road and putting out a blog saying "I don't know exactly why he resents me, but I always liked him."
You might be right, to be honest I was out of the whole wrestling loop for a long time until about a year ago, which should be evident by looking at my roster
