My knowledge of 1980s/early 1990s WWF probably isn't as great as others here. I've seen matches and PPVs from that time but I might leave out what may be obvious choices from that time....


Raw

1: Steve Ausatin (face) - same reason as above, really.
2: Chris Jericho (face) - he's good as a heel, but dammit, he's great as a good guy too!
3: Hulk Hogan (heel) - again, as above, nWo Hogan from what I've seen so far was a great arrogant bad guy. And he played that role in the WWE for about a month in 2002, so I guess it counts
4: Mick Foley (face) - as any of his multiple personas. He seemed like a better heel in ECW than the WWE.
5: Shawn Michaels (heel) - I'd have a cocky, DX-era Michaels on the show, but perhaps keep HHH on SD. I reckon Michaels could manage that kind of role on his own.
6: The Undertaker (heel) - specifically the 2002 heel Bikertaker. I liked that character. It was like he was saying "I've been here over 10 years, give me the respect I deserve or I'll kick your ass".



SD

1: Kurt Angle (heel) - before the ultra-serious (bald), gumshield-wearing Angle of his later WWE career, he was great back in the early 2000s as a heel. I've always preferred the more light-hearted Angle (the one who sang country songs with Steve Austin ) over the times when he's been more serious.
2: Kane (heel) - 1998 heel Kane was badass. 'Nuff said.
3: Bret Hart (heel) - I haven't seen much of his anti-American heel character (actually, I really haven't watched a lot of his whole career...) but I reckon that deserves a place on this imaginary show.
4: The Rock (face) - It's The Rock! As a face!!
5: Chris Benoit (face) - well, before June of 2007, the guy was great and was capable of having a great match with most of the people he was in the ring with. I liked the simple, 'let the actions do the talking' character he had and I think people did genuinely care about him. Face Benoit VS. heel Bret Hart? If Benoit is disqualified, let's replace him with a face RVD. And hope he doesn't get busted for drugs again....
6: Eddie Guerrero (face) - another guy from fairly recent times, but he was definitely over with the "lie, cheat and steal" gimmick. There's a few guys I've left out (HHH, Flair etc.) I would've liked but I'll give Eddie the nod here.
