I say TNA should just say fuck it and sign all of them and bring them all in. Cameron could reunite with Tyrus. Give Sandow opportunity and watch him dominate. It's not as if TNA hasn't given WWE cast off's chances before (Christian Cage) and they succeeded. Zeb could be on-air mouth piece for someone. Hornswoggle could be Dixie's "son". Santino could be the new comedy EY.
In all seriousness TNA should sign bring in Sandow, Zeb and Barrett.
WWE fucked up big tme with Nexus and how it ended. That faction should have gone down as one of the most greatest, dominant factions ever.
Ryback looks to be done in WWE, so I bet TNA will have interest in him too. Goldberg vs Ryback in TNA because it was never going to happen in WWE, because of fact Golderg wasn't happy with his WWE run.
I could see either Barrett or Sandow getting signed and immediately get pushed to the top (like Galloway). But I think Barrett said he’s taking some time off initially and it looks like he has other interests. No idea about Sandow. Personally, I would rather see him in Lucha Underground.
If Ryback leaves then I can definitely see TNA making a push for him. Guy was getting over in WWE a few years ago, so he might have potential there.
Dutch Mantel is a great wrestling mind, if they do bring him to TNA, then put in a creative capacity. He could also be a manager, hell make him a manger for Ryback if they both go to TNA.
Daman Sandow was very talented and charistmatic so I'd say he'll get to TNA.
TBH though I don't think there's anyone from WWE's released talent that wouldn't have a shot with TNA, they need all the talent they can get.
How come no one on the entire site seems to realize that Barrett left of his own accord. He wasn't renewing his contract. As a result, Barrett was still probably welcome in the WWE if he wanted back (and probably some day will be).
In short, why the fuck would he go to TNA then? Haha.
If TNA has this massive amount of money like the TNA hardcore fans claim they do they could get someone like Barrett by overpaying.
TNA is a pretty easy gig. You work 20-25 dates a year and can work the indies. You offer a guy like Wade Barrett 300-400 thousand a year for those dates and he'd definitely come. Especially if you factor in the 100,000-150,000 he could make from the indies, international tours and outside projects.
Sandow & Barrett are the top of the tree one's I'd go for - but can just see Barrett ending up at NJPW (that thought excited me to buggery too!). Sandow - I kind of get what others are saying, but if a guy can make such awful gimmicks work, he can fit in somewhere. I have said elsewhere that I'd take Riley too, unfulfilled potential there, great look and feuding around the KOTM picture would be a nice fit (the most likely signing imo).
Sandow would be an asset to any wrestling promotion (including Japan), Barrett is consistently injury-prone but if used right he could make a great signing but the one definite gain would be Ryback because he has size, has shown he can improve his moveset, seems comfortable on the Mic and works best with wrestlers who aren't luchador sized.
The following post is about who I THINK tna will sign regardless of whether I want to see them in TNA or not:
Sandow - I think chances are high for that. He's not really a RoH\NJPW guy to me so those promotion approched him and LU wont be taping seaon 4 soon, so it all goes to whether TNA call him or not. And I'm sure Gaburick will.
Barrett - he's the biggest name out here. I can see NJPW or LU locking him with a deal. I did mention already that LU wont be taping anything soon, but they may lock him for season 4.
But I'm sure TNA already have a big offer for him and I think there is 80% chance that Barrett will debut at or after slammy. (not sure about non compete thing)
Cameron - she sucks, so TNA may sign her. It's sad to say being a TNA fan, but I wont be surprised.
Zeb - I dont see it happening unless he's buddies with Gaburick.
Torito - back to AAA, probably LU season 4. TNA dont need him
Hornswoggle - I can imagine both TNA and LU approaching him. I'm not saying they should though.
Santino - just no. He's 40 yo man with clown gimmick career who is loyal to wwe. I dont see TNA giving him big money and I dont see him working for low paycheck.
Riley - I hate to say this, but I'm 90% sure we will see Ralex Ailey in the impact zone soon.
Would love to see Wade Barrett (and ryback if he leaves too) get the ec3/drew treatment and prove wwe wasted their talents. Personally i think they would both make a positive impact to tna plus get them some media attention, even if that's likely to get twisted to "loltna signing ex-wwe guys" bs
Before I knew He signed for GFW I would have said Dutch and have him work behind the scenes but apart from that I've only ever seen Barret who I think could be good in TNA. I here Sandow is good, maybe try him.
Barrett & Sandow are the only two worth picking up.
