And 2011 Daniels was nothing to write home about. 2012 Daniels was where it's at.
EDIT: Chris Daniels is Kane with wrestling ability.
And better facial hair.
Prediction time: I think by the end of 2013, WWE will clear out some of its junkier wrestlers and sign
Bobby Roooo - This just seems like a matter of time. TNA is probably trying to hold onto him because he's one of the few homegrown stars they have, and I'm sure Bobby appreciates the schedule, so he can be with his family. But you gotta imagine he wants to get paid more and do WWE at least once. There was also some case where he and Gail were backstage at a WWE event and a bunch of people knew who he was. He's basically super old school like Hunter too, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's one Mr. H's wants.
Madison Rayne - WWE desperately needs a female heel. AJ is doing the whatever gimmick, but I don't think she could be 'independent female heel who does lucha!' It's kind of like Rey Mysterio being heel. It doesn't work. And Madison's young, and I would argue she's the best female on the mic right now. Layla's heel work was pretty much nodding her head to Michelle McCool, Tamina is shockingly mediocre(and is only signed because I guess they owe her dad?), I can't see Kaitlyn as a heel. Nattie's such a joke now that no one would buy it. Naomi might be possible, but she's still green when it comes to being on the mic.
Kazuchika Okada - Yeah, it's probaby bullshit rumors. But of the New Japan guys, he's the closest to a 'safe style' they've got. He's got a great look, and you could easily pair him in a Four Horsemen style stable with Flair or some other kind of 'we got money' faction. I just hope they don't make him nationalist heel. It doesn't work. He's also got a rare talent of being incredibly young while performing on the biggest stages in Japan. Even if you don't think he's as good in the ring as Tanahashi or Naito(which I definitely think), he has an amazing amount of confidence for someone so young in such big scenarios.
Averno - I think they'll sign him. Again.
I'd also like to see the Aries & Roode dynamic carry over, but Aries is so short. I highly doubt he'll ever get signed past maybe being a trainer.
