Who would benefit from a change of scenery?
Following on from Hero's poll today, I would be interested to see who you guys think would benefit from jumping ship from WWE to TNA, or TNA to WWE.
This isn't about who you would LIKE to see change promotions. More, who you would think would benefit career wise.
I will give examples of some good and bad transitions:
TNA to WWE
Good: R-Truth and Christian (yes I know they were in the WWE previously, but the stint with TNA elevated them to be called up by the WWE again and expanded their appeal)
Bad - Low-Ki/Kaval
WWE to TNA
Good: Matt Morgan
Bad: Flair (had financial reasons to go on I know, but his retirement by WWE should have been the ending on a great career)
So who out of the current roster on both sides, would benefit from crossing over? Please take into consideration if either companies actually would hire them, if their gimmick would need to change, whether they would need to go into development (to learn how to wrestle the wwe way for example) and where they would fit in the other sides roster standing.

I would say Bobby Roode, once hes more established by TNA (lets hope they actually establish him) in about 4-5 years Then your top guys could be Ziggler, Rhodes, Roode.
Great wrestlers who do steal the show on numerous occasions in my opinion

Re: Who would benefit from a change of scenery?
I would disagree about Flairs move being bad.
For the large part, Flair has been more entertaining than he has been for the last 3 years of his WWE run and he has barely wrestled.
His mic work has been incredibly effective and has been a good acquisition for TNA IMO
To answer the question though, Samoa Joe to WWE and John Morrison to TNA

Re: Who would benefit from a change of scenery?
I think both John Morrison & Kofi Kingston could do with a change, to freshen them up.
Samoa Joe certainley, as he done everything in TNA, and possably AJ Styles.
Also think that the Briscoes, Kings of Wrestling, should be given a mainstream chance, As both TNA & WWE tag teams division are in need of fresh blood.

Re: Who would benefit from a change of scenery?
id agree with tigerrobins.
Samoa Joe is not being used right in TNA the last year or so, what happened to the monster submission machine that used to dominate matches, instead hes been turned into a stalker like guy in a fued with the pope and been beat by everyone in the bound for glory series.
Think he would do well in WWE even as unbeatable badass or even as a bodyguard/enforcer role to start. obviuosly him and CM punk go back dso could be some good matches there. Hopefully with Austin bigging him up recently may see him move across

I would never, ever trust WWE to book Samoa Joe.
I think John Morrison would benefit the most from moving to TNA.

I think he's got more chance in the WWE than he does as Johnny Impact to be honest

Re: Who would benefit from a change of scenery?
TNA to WWE - Kurt Angle. He is not getting any younger but atm is still a very good superstar so i would move him before its too late in my view
WWE to TNA - Well funny enough i know he has already left the wwe and heading to TNA but i would say Chris Masters

TNA to WWE
I'd say Crimson. Bit left field but he could be the next big thing, just have a sneaking suspicion that TNA will muck up his push
WWE to TNA
Um, much harder this way but someone like Kofi Kingston could do well there. If only as he'd be coming in with the big name factor that TNA loves so much

Re: Who would benefit from a change of scenery?
To TNA:
Evan Bourne, the guy's a shadow of his indy self. He has one move and is the most vanilla babyface I think I can recall. In TNA he could be a cocky heel in the X Division.
To WWE:
AJ Styles. He's the natural successor to HBK, the Hogan era has knocked him down to the mid card but he's the perfect look to sell WWE posters by the bucket load.

I'd like to see Matt Sydal as that cocky heel but I think Austin Aries has that spot sown up in TNA

I think with the success Aries has had TNA will do the usual and turn him face soon enough ala Pope ala Anderson ala pretty much anyone that does well as a heel.
Re: Who would benefit from a change of scenery?
Those guys wanted to be faces though, they would do all they could to get the fans interacting with them, you can tell they came through the WWE with their train of thought, Aries has a whole different approach to the fans, which I like

Re: Who would benefit from a change of scenery?
Definitely agree with the above on Morrison to TNA, I think he would shrive there. Would come to see Austin Aries and Matt Morgan come back to the 'E if used correctly, which I think is a possibility.
