Keith Watanabe * NET 2.0

three must-get guys for TNA, if they could pull it off, are: 1) Chris Jericho 2) Chris Benoit 3) Rob Van Dam (Not necessarily in that order). Quick explaination of my decision: 1) Chris Jericho. Fits in perfectly. Has the attitude, the mic skills, the following and the workrate. Also, works well with Christian. Would be a great (surprise) addition to TNA. Says he follows TNA more than WWE, which I believe. I think Jericho is waiting to see how TNA pans out before making a move. I don't think he can go the way he would before with certain guys like AJ Styles, Chris Sabin, etc. and even he admits it. However, he would place more structure, storyline and psychology in his matches. Not to mention he'd add a ton of personality to help color some colorless guys. It's obvious he could do wonders for guys like Sabin, Strong, just through association. He'd be an easy main event player and would be an interesting fit in the current storyline as an aide to Christian. 2) Chris Benoit. Anyone who doubts this guy isn't an MVP in any promotion is smoking crack. While not as colorful as Jericho, Benoit would be the bridge for the X-Division. I can't see him going the way he would in the past either as a junior, but he would add a lot of depth in terms of psychology and selling in the X-Division matches. Matter of fact, with travel cut down, he might actually be able to perform at a higher level. But I think the WWE likes him too much for them to be foolhardy into letting him go. However, injuries and age may be wiser. Benoit going to TNA would be like Bret Hart going to WCW, but hopefully not before it's too late. 3) Rob Vam Dam. We're seeing more of him lately in the WWE, but his pushes are always questionable either because of politics or injury. Putting the world title on him in the WWE is extremely dubious even though the fans would be willing to accept him as a champion. However, the WWE prefers younger guys, not necessarily for the ability to have a high workrate, but just for reliable sustainability. Van Dam certainly deserves a world title, but I can't see him doing it in WWE. However, in TNA he would definitely be able to break the glass ceiling and would be an immediate title contender. The lighter work schedule would allow him to go harder the way he likes it. Of everyone listed here, I can definitely see him going. It's whether or not the money and contract is good enough. Regardless, he'd be a huge difference maker since he could work with a variety of opponents both in the X-Divison and the heavies.
