Robin Scannell of the U.K.

I’m thinking a little more long term than just 2010 and looking for a balance between drawing power, wrestling ability, longevity, and potential.

(1) John Cena – drawing ability, work ethic. He’s a solid WWE worker.

(2) C.M. Punk - watch "Punk vs. Styles" for the ROH Pure Championship. Top heel.

(3) Randy Orton - he's too over not to be chosen. I'd reduce the number of RKOs per minute, though.

(4) A.J. Styles – watch the above match with Punk. Solid performer.

(5) Alberto Del Rio – lots of potential; a future world champion.

(6) Daniel Bryan – great wrestler, great potential.

(7) Dolph Ziggler - a lot of potential. I like him more than Kofi.

(8) Triple H – a solid draw and can help put younger stars over.

(9) Motor City Machineguns – solid team to build the tag team division around.

(10) Samoa Joe – great in the ring. He definitely deserves a chance to shine.

My Top 10 are based on if I were to start a promotion out here in Australia. The choices represent what people would want to see and would follow long-term, with the emphasis on wrestlers the audience can relate to. The plan is a mix of good workers and players with good brand value who would appeal to a large demographic.

(1) Triple H - a huge name from the last golden era and, family bias aside, a strong knowledge of the business.

(2) Samoa Joe - a solid worker who can work different styles and have meaningful feuds with everyone on this list; the ultimate utility player.

(3) Chris Jericho - possible part-timer, but he would play the opposing role to Samoa Joe as either face or heel; utility player #2.

(4) Sheamus - leader of the heavyweight division; a clear heel.

(5) John Cena - heavyweight, merchandise seller, and clear face.

(6) A.J. Styles - clear leader of the lightweights as either heel or face.

(7) Kurt Angle - he doesn't have much longer, but he's a big-enough name to create interest. I prefer him over Undertaker.

(8) Motor City Machineguns - they clearly bring an edge to the tag team division.

(9) C.M. Punk - a clear lightweight force; he can feud with A.J., Angle, Joe, Jericho, Cena, and Triple H.

(10) Daniel Bryan - another "regular guy" type who the audience can relate to and will jeer or root for.

Next picks: The Miz, John Morrison, Tyler Black, Beer Money, Nigel McGuinness (Desmond Wolfe), and Alex Riley. I would only bring in certain veterans on short-term "showcase" deals like Jeff Hardy, RVD, Big Show, Kane and Undertaker, Rey Mysterio and, for a month, Hulk Hogan.

(1) C.M. Punk - he is money on the mic; his in-ring is impeccable, not to mention he is better than you.

(2) Randy Orton- he hears voices and he is struggling with I.E.D.

(3) Motor City Machineguns - Tag Team wrestling doesn't get the respect it deserves. I think they could help change that

(4) Sheamus - that Brogue Kick is SERIOUS.

(5) Chris Jericho - he is the best in the world at what he does.

(6) Alberto Del Rio - I never thought I'd like him as much as I do, but after putting Chihuahua Mysterio down, I can't imagine rasslin' life without him.

(7) Triple H - I still think The Game has what it takes to be the most dominant heel in the business.

(8) Wade Barrett - he has the look and his mic style is impressive. If WWE would focus more on his bare-knuckle background and send "The Wasteland" finisher to the wasteland, he would have a bright future.

(9) Daniel Bryan - I get the feeling that he can make a good match with anyone, including the Miz, who I do not find awesome.

(10) Samoa Joe - Joe is gonna kill you, enough said.
