Abyss - I'd give him some time as opposed to firing him straight off, simply because i like the idea of the revolution being 'the island of misfit toys'; all talented guys, but they've been pushed aside for one reason or another, now they're here to fuck up the guys that got 'their rightful spots'; in this role Abyss might not be so played out, and might actually validate a spot on the roster, if not, future endeavored.
Austin Aries - Ah, A Double, the proverbial almost man of TNA. First off, i'd stop this stupid shit they do where he's constantly winning the title then dropping it randomly, only to feud with someone until option C rolls around, then he'd be right back in the chase for the X-Title. No more of that shit, he's above the X-Division, and everyone knows that. I'd turn Aries heel, simply because he's at his arrogant best when he's that way, i'd put him in a series of feuds where he'd be going over younger talent to try and fix some of the long term damage the former writers wishy washy writing has done. Eventually, he'd go into a feud with both of my top pushed faces, which would be Magnus and Gunner currently (not over the likes of Hardy and Angle, but in a rise up the card sort of sense) he'd lose to one, and beat the other, the one he defeats ends up as world champion a month or two later, et voila Aries is in a feud for the title belt not requiring him to cash in.
Bobby Roode - Face of the company, be all and end all of TNA; eventually passing the torch over to any of EC3, Magnus or Gunner, whoever grabs the brass ring, so to speak.
Bram - Basically put him into the role Abyss played a few years back, i'd use him to turn Magnus face by having Bram put him out of action for a good few months after a failed tag title attempt, Bram would get vicious with Magnus doing some kind of cringeworthy spot. After this Bram would be suspended for a week or two for psychiatric assessment. It'd be revealed he has a large number of personality defects (he's a psychopath, basically) and would be banned from hardcore matches. obviously this would be an excuse to only allow him into these matches if the face he was feuding with demanded it, this would lead to Bram actively trying to antagonize faces into wanting to seriously hurt him.
Chris Melendez - PR stunt, gone.
Davey Richards - Continue the relatively good booking of the wolves that has already been taking place, maybe split them up down the line, but i'm not a huge fan of the idea.
DJ Z - Top heel of my new X-Division once Kenny King has been promoted out of it, i'd turn him into one of those irritating douchebag internet kids, Tumblr references, constant twitter plugs, really make him seem like a hipster asshole. Nobody likes hipsters.
Eddie Edwards - Read Davey Richards.
Eric Young - See, this ones difficult, he's had a very odd year and it's not helped by the fact that they recently rushed him into a heel turn. I'm honestly kind of unsure where i'd go with him to begin with; i guess i'd really have to keep him as a heel. The best place for him seems like the mid-card though; maybe try to re-do his old heel run where he was the secret mastermind behind the global faction (name is escaping me).
Ethan Carter - Pushed to the damn moon as the top heel of the company, keep him there, keep him the horrible piece of human waste that he is and go from there, the guy gets a bigger reaction than any other 'home grown' talent at this point. IF he ever starts getting cheers, he could transition the same way Cena did initially into a face of the company; but that's a strong if. Top of the Card, either way.
Gunner- I honestly didn't think much of Gunner at all until his most recent push; the guys got something special about him. I always believe in having at least one powerhouse main eventer, and he'd definitely be mine. Either have him as the 'all american hero' he was playing before as a face, or maybe inject some PTSD elements into him and turn him into a brooding lunatic heel for a bit, i was hoping that's where the Shaw angle would lead.
James Storm - I actually prefer him as a cult leader over Bray Wyatt over in the WWE, which is saying something because i rate them massively. I'd cut the overt costumes that he seems to have his followers wearing though, maybe have that be a character trait, they're forced to dress like ridiculous parodies of wrestlers until they prove they're not one. Would definitely be a main event heel on my show; ruthless asshole, cutting people who aren't worthy from his stable, improving people who are's success' which would lead to faces actually considering his advances, giving him that cool 'necessary evil' vibe.
Jeff Hardy - Continue as usual, kept away from the title except if theres a lull in stories or competition, but the great thing about Jeff is he can function in every single part of the card. I'd probably convince him to give another heel run a go at some point down the line, before some kind of final swansong as a face in a year or two where he's back in the main event with a 'fresh palette' ready to put over the new guys and have a couple more runs.
Jesie Godderz - Used to think there was something in this guy, becoming more unsure about it as time goes by. Continue with bro-gimmick for now, if improvement stays relatively stagnant, future endeavored.
Kenny King - All purpose guy in my prominently featured X-Division set up, Face and Heel, see if he can catch on and get over the X-Division barrier into the upper-card and main event, if not a strong hand for my X-Division and possibly tag.
Khoya - unsure, need to see more from him.
Kurt Angle - steady hand in the upper card, ready to put people over and carry matches and titles if need be. i'd want him heel to begin with though as i feel he's gotten kind of stale as a face.
Lashley - Keep doing what they've been doing, guy looks legit as fuck right now.
Low Ki - Not a big fan of the guy honestly, think he's quite over-rated. i'd definitely keep him around as somewhat of a ring general for the X-Division, but i don't see much more for him outside of that.
Magnus - Future face of the company, the 'good guy' if you will. It's all well and good having edgy guys, but i'd want Magnus to be clean cut and as babyface as humanly possible, relate-able and always standing up for the little guy.
Manik - Continue on down the dark path that Storm has set him on, eventually turning him face and re-debuting him as TJ Perkins after his re-birth.
Matt Hardy - Total jobber except when with the hardy boys. Can't really see anything for him outside of that.
Mr. Anderson - This ones a bit odd, but i'd quite like to see him as the on air authority figure, there's just not really anywhere for him to fit into the program anymore, and given his face/heel turn ratio he's shown he can do either role, and i think i'd need that in a GM. another option would be commentary.
MVP - Fine where he is, kept away from the title belt. feuding with up and coming faces for now. probably one last face run when it comes towards the end of his career, possibly a tag team with an up and coming face leading to a world title run, with his 'protege' being the one to 'pull the trigger' and end his career.
Robbie E - Face turn, i want him away from the Bro-mans and to see if he can fly by himself in the upper mid-card. He'd cut himself away from the Bro-mans after a losing streak and beg Brooke to take him back because he wants to be 'a better man', have this process go on for a couple of months with Robbie E going through some grueling shit to prove his worth; hopefully this wins fans over to cheering him, there's nothing more relate-able than love. Eventually he'd win her over, they'd be an on-screen couple and we'll see where things go from there judged off his crowd reaction.
Rockstar Spud - Another Face of the X-Division, i'd have him be the almost man, similar to D-Bry before WWE pulled their heads out their asses and gave him the world title, he gets so close, but ultimately falls at the last hurdle, making the time he finally does win it, something special. From there i'd transition him to tag team wrestling with someone, i'm unsure who as of yet; if he's still getting the reactions he is now or better yet stronger however long this is down the line, he'd get a shot at the big one on a PPV; not sure if i'd take him further than that though.
Samoa Joe - This is a tricky one for me, because i love Joe, but honestly he's kind of played out. My only real idea for something interesting for Joe (because this MVP faction is shit in my eyes and i'd drop it immediately) would be some kind of story where he's gone broke and is down on his luck, trying to keep winning to keep his familys head above water; think JBL & Hbk a few years back; his ultimate goal would be the world title because of the 'money' it brings wrestlers, it would fix up his familys problems if he could get back to where he was.
Samuel Shaw - Less psychopath, more creepy 'i wouldn't leave him alone with a woman'. see if he can get over off of being a misogynistic rape-y dude because i've already got other wrestlers i want in the 'unstable' mould.
The Great Sanada - Like Manik, continue with Storm, bulk him up a little bit, but the difference would be when he and Manik are re-born, Sanada is a heel still, Darker hair, different tights and all that jazz to disacossiate him from the bright colours he used to have. He and the re-debuted perkins would be the two highlights of the X-Division and the 'go-to' feud of the X-Division.
Tigre Uno - Solid wrestler, marketable too, given far more air time and pushed as a middle of the pack guy in the x-division.
Tyrus - Unless he brings back the intensity he had in NXT, gone.
Knux - Lets face it, his stable has fallen flat. The only ray of hope is having him turn on the rest of them; if that fails, gone.
Crazy Steve - Entertaining, but a gimmick act until the very end. I'm unfamiliar with the wrestler behind the paint, perhaps repackage him to be something not so stupid, if not, unfortunately gone.
