You run a wrestling promotion for a year: who are your first three signings?

[Pat73]

Imagine someone hands you a big budget and a TV deal and asks you to run a wrestling promotion for a year. You can sign any three wrestlers in the world who are currently active, regardless of their existing contracts. Who do you build your company around? It is harder than it sounds

You need a mix of skills. Someone who can carry the main event, someone who can talk and draw crowds, and perhaps a rising star to build for the future. Picking three brilliant in ring workers might give you great matches, but without charisma and promo skills, you may struggle to sell tickets. Balance matters

Think about the kind of promotion you would run as well. A sports based product might focus on athletes like Gunther or Will Ospreay. An entertainment heavy show might want characters with huge personalities. A strong women's division is a selling point too, as is a tag team scene

Remember you only have three picks, so choose wisely. Explain why each one fits your plan, and what kind of show you would build around them
