I don't wanna see Austin in the ring again. His last match against The Rock was the perfect ending for him.

http://www.wwe.com/article/big-bang-untold-story-wcw-pay-view-almost-happened
WWE.com has published a new feature looking at the ill-fated "WCW Big Bang" pay-per-view event from 2001 that was going to serve as a relaunch for the dying brand. With Fusient Media Ventures, Eric Bischoff had raised $67 million to purchase WCW from AOL Time Warner. Part of their strategy involved 'shutting down' WCW for a period of time before kicking off a new chapter in the Monday Night War on pay-per-view.
“We were going to shut [WCW] down for a period of time, then relaunch,” Bischoff said. “We needed a clean piece of paper to draw on. We couldn’t reach into the trash, pick out the crumbled and trampled creative — that had been WCW for the last year-and-a-half — and try to make people feel good about that again. In order for the relaunch to feel like one, it had to go away. The thinking was, let’s get people talking about the new WCW and what it was going to look like and feel like.”
As we all know by now, that deal was contingent on WCW's TV deal. When AOL Time Warner pulled the plug on their TV clearance, the entire deal fell apart and the pro wrestling industry would never be the same again.
The article notes that the former 'Voice of ECW' Joey Styles was in talks with Eric Bischoff about coming on board for this new incarnation of WCW, since ECW was already gone at this point. Styles took a meeting in Manhattan to discuss what this new WCW would look, feel and sound like. "I would be the lead announcer and I would work in digital media," Styles said. "I did not agree to do this with Eric until it was obvious that ECW was finished.”
It's a really interesting read that makes you wonder once again what could have had survived

I was going to bring up Angle, but then someone already did. I kinda wish it was Bobby Roode or Chris Hero were the guy. Too bad Roode wouldn't go as over as Styles did when he showed up and Hero is probably banished from WWE for life. AJ and Taker would be a better version of ** **** vs. Taker at WM29.
Completely doubt Michaels, highly doubt Austin, wouldn't mind Rocky if he went heel, but I still want Nakamura. He's technically still not under contract until he passes his physical. Please not Goldberg. He already ended Bret, we don't need him touching no one else ever again.

Lex Luger should be Takers opponent. That way they can get him to induct Sting.

I honestly can't think of a wrestler in the last 20 yrs who'd transition from in-ring performer to manager better than Kurt Angle..With his background and ability to control the crowd on the mic he'd be a perfect guy to come into WWE and form the next great stable..Bring up those guys from NXT as your tag team, maybe throw in Neville or Kenta for you're IC/US guy, and Nakamura for your World Title guy and there ya go..BOOK IT SHOVELUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!..
