Marty Scurll
The Villain is a strong, defined character that is extremely easy to understand and connect with. He would be a perfect fit for NXT. Due to his small stature, I would somewhat worry about his run on the main roster once the time came, but Marty could probably get himself over with the more casual audience as well if he was given a fair shot.
Unlike KUSHIDA, Marty Scurll would have to adjust his wrestling style quite a bit to fit WWE’s tastes and guidelines. However, I wouldn’t be too concerned about it. Scurll is on this list because of his amazing character work. His persona and charisma would get him over. The wrestling would only need to be sufficient enough to support his huge personality.
Killer Elite Squad
The reasoning behind this selection is actually quite simple… to quote the legendary Ross Tweddell: Vince McMahon likes big sweaty men… Indeed he does. Wrestling is full of gray areas, but if there is any one inarguable fact, it’s that Vince does indeed have quite an infatuation with large, perspiring gentlemen.
The team of Lance Archer and Davey Boy Smith Jr are a hard-hitting veteran tag team with a great look and an intimidating presence. Every time they’re in the ring, you know they mean business.
Killer Elite Squad has been running roughshod on NJPW’s tag scene off and on for years now. They’ve won the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships 3 times, and have been a solid, reliable cornerstone for the division. However, with fresh teams like The Young Bucks and EVIL & SANADA now leading the way, it feels like KES’s best days in Japan aren’t ahead of them. This is the perfect time for them to make the jump to WWE. I have no doubt that it would be a perfect fit.
