They already signed

CM Punk
Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson)
Sin Cara (Mistico)
Alberto Del Rio (Dos Caras Jr)
Evan Bourne (Matt Sydal)
Seth Rollins (Tyler Black)
Antonio Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli)
Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero)
Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley)
Tyson Kidd (TJ Wilson)
Yoshi Tatsu (Naofumi Yamamoto)
Hunico (Incognito)
Lord Tensai (Giant Bernard)
Xavier Woods (Consequences Creed)

And they also had Kaval (Low-Ki) and Scotty Goldman (Colt Cabana) under contract before letting them go.

Me personally, I think they should bring Cabana back provided he gets to keep the Colt Cabana name. He's much much better than Zack Ryder and can put on a great match at that too. Kaval should have never been fired and yes, he was fired. He said so on the Art of Wrestling podcast that WWE told him to say he quit because it was better for everyone. Probably because they were afraid it would backfire like Bryan's original release if word got out and then they would have to rehire him. If they brought him back as a heel and had him do some matches with Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara, that would be amazing. But he probably won't give up his job in NJPW to come to WWE again.

Right now, I think the only big names that would fit in WWE are

Prince Devitt - Great wrestler. He would really fit in WWE in my opinion. He's Irish too.

Davey Richards - Probably the biggest ROH star right now. I don't want any arguments about his wrestling skill. WWE had him under a Developmental contract before, so clearly he's not completely off their radar.

Takeshi Morishima - He had a tryout match in 2009 and I can't for the life of me figure out why WWE didn't sign him. He's a great wrestler and could be the new Vader, only Japanese. WWE need a credible Japanese star anyway.

KENTA - Would probably never get signed due to CM Punk copying all his moves. But I'd love to see it either way.

Roderick Strong - Would be a good addition to the roster.

What do you think.

Imo, I think guys like El Generico, Pac, Ricochet are far more X-Division than WWE material, they are either TNA level short (let's face it, TNA has a lot of 5'8-5'10 guys unlike WWE) or lack the look that WWE wants in another way (Generico has as much muscles as an average gymrat), and none of these three has any mic skills, so there's that. Who really wants to see those three guys with stripped down movesets anyway? I doubt you're going to see double moonsaults, 630s and standing shooting star presses allowed in the WWE, it would make the other highflyers movesets look far too weak. Prince Devitt is another great wrestler, but he's also too short, and doesn't have the look even remotely down.

The guys I could see working out in WWE are The Briscoes (going to be tag team favourites, not a fan of them but can't deny how easy they get over), Sara Del Rey (only if Kharma stays and builds up the Divas division back up) and Kevin Steen (good mic skills). Rhett Titus/Kenny King could make it in WWE aswell, based on charisma, looks and mic skills, and as far as powerhouses go, Uhaa Nation has the look Vince creams all over, but the atheticism of an indy highflier.

Teddy Hart will never happen, burned down every last bridge you could ever find, WWE, TNA, ROH, he'll be wrestling in gyms and bingo halls for the rest of his career. all of the guys id like to see in WWE wouldnt get their time to shine, theyd be misused or stuck in development simply because WWE has a mold that you must fit, and if you dont you have a very limited pool of talent you can work with. now i dont care how old or beaten up they are, WWE needs to get some great Japanese talent so they can foster younger Japanese talent from the exposure to some of the greats. guys like Jushin Liger, Great Muta, Hayabusa, show WWE fans with little to no exposure to that kind of wrestling what they can do, and when the younger guys get signed, theyll have years of great wrestling to look forward to.

Right now theres four guys I really want to see

Prince Devitt
Kenta
Kota Ibushi
Jay Briscoe

Two of those are very likely but we all know about the wwe:s trackrecord with asian wrestlers so Im not sure if its good for Kenta and Kota

Btw many of you got your wishes. I hope a year or two from now I get mine.

WWE will NEVER sign another indy talent again. WWE want to distance themselves from pro-wrestling and promote the training centre. They're only interested in hiring jacked ex-football players. HHH even confirmed only larger than life stars are wanted now, no more smaller guys.
