I was just thinking how we all have different ideas as to what we like and don't like in wrestling, which in turn made me think "what would be your dream roster" if you could put have put it together, using all the wrestlers you ever saw when they were at their peak.
For me, I went for about 50 wrestlers and split that into 25 in a heavyweight roster, 8 tag teams and 10 X Division performers. I love the X Division (well used to) and wanted to incorporate it but keep it very different from the main roster to start with.
I also wanted to use "old school" wrasslin managers as well (particularly for those that need it) and just five "divas" since I'm not really into the whole "women in wrestling" thing!
If you want to have a go, add a GM if you like (I've grown bored of the whole GM thing....I prefer the old school "commitee" arranged the matches thang!
I added commentary teams though and, of course, you could do those as well.
I think even WWE (un)Creative could book well around this roster.
