Could the WWE be setting up a "Big Angle"?

[HunterSniderBrand]

Various websites are reporting that tons of WWE Talent are frustrated with their position in the company. JTG and Zach Ryder being two of the first ones being mentioned, could this be the start of a new angle?

John Lauranitis is reported to be returning to TV soon. This could be "money" if done correctly, even though this type of storyline has been done before, I mean, why not? Have the WWE release 20+ superstars from the roster, and when John Lauranitis comes back, bring back all of the superstars who "want their spot" on the roster. Have JL run Smackdown, McMahon or Triple H run Raw, and re-vamp this Brand Extension the RIGHT way. Thoughts?

I like it except for John Laurinaitis being the voice of the underused talents, that pretty much goes against everything we know about the guy.

[Untouchable]

Yeah its a nice idea and would be a cool way to get some of the underused talent some television time , but John Lauranitis as their voice/leader doesnt work for me. He is much more fit to be in a role opposed to them.

It would be interesting to see who would break out from the pack as well as the clearcut top dog of the little faction.

That seems like a WWE thing to do. Release a guy while promising a push.

I could see Johnny Ace leading the charge though if there was something in it for him. Kinda like the movie Gladiator,(I forget the names so bare with me) When Maximus gets sent to the boondocks as a slave hes fighting all these nobodys and the guy who owns him aspires to one day get back to Rome (the big leagues). Hes basically useing the Gladiators as his ticket to the main event. Johnny Ace can kinda be that guy, He rallys a bunch of nobody wrestlers in hopes of getting back to Wrestlemania despite his past as a jackass, This is his redemption as well as the wrestlers. So there is something in it for everyone

I think this would fit Johnny Ace perfectly actually.

[Falcone]

There's only 3 guys in the company right now who could lead this 'faction' and make it work.

1) Bryan (He's being held back by AJ)

2) JR (Always looks out for the young talent

3) Paul Heyman.

I'd prefer it to be guys who are actually being held back, as opposed to a guy who gets loads of TV time every week. He doesn't need something like this to stay relevant.

And JR being the anti-WWE anything doesn't fit.

Heyman, though? That could work.

The leader is going to be Trent Baretta, he has been gone for so long because he went on a spiritual trip to the Himalayas where he found the strength to stand up for himself and his fellow jobbers.

Not happening. I think it would suck, maybe after a serious amount of TV time for each guy it could work.

Now that would just make the who thing kind of an oxymoron wouldnt it?

Wouldn't it practically be Nexus 2.0?

Now that I think about it...that Corre group existed.

3.0 then.

Yeah, Like I said, this kind of storyline has been done ten thousand times throughout the Pro Wrestling Industry. But, you get some names from the main roster, and some FCW guys, and IF it's booked correctly and not made out to be a joke (John Cena vs the Entire invading group), then it may end up getting some of these guys over.

[Big Pete]

It's better than nothing but I'd like to think there are better alternatives.

I mean, how many wrestlers would feature in this group? Right now the group would practically consist of: Ryder, Swagger, Riley, Ryan, Hawkins, Reks, McGillicutty, JTG, Hunico, Camacho, Bateman, Curtis, Ezekial, Gabriel, Kidd, Yoshi, Primo, Epico, Barretta, McIntyre & Mahal That's 21 wrestlers! Most of whom, don't even go together so I would much rather they focus more on giving these wrestlers mic. time or screen time to get themselves over than just put them into a stable where the sole purpose is that one is going to get noticed and pushed.

[Falcone]

This is what the group should be.

Tyson Kidd, Trent Baretta, Drew McIntyre, Johnny Curtis & Michael McGillicutty.

Ryder shouldn't join up. He should be offered it, but decline, and get beaten up. Boom, Ryder then has something to do.

[Untouchable]

I think Ryder would give the group the most credibility being a former US champion and everything and still not being able to get the respect he deserves , and his heel turn would give this group a decent shot in the ass off the get go.

I dont mind the idea of some of the misused talent to oppose the faction , still wanting to make a name on their own but I'd rather Tyson Kidd be in that role.

Also , I'd add Heath Slater to it.

You could possibly throw in The Miz, Rey Mysterio and Christian for some "star power", who have all been pushed down to the midcard, but were also former Main Event level talents. its not really about "going together", its just more of the built up frustrations from the majority of the WWE Roster. Which if you throw in FCW guys who people are chomping at the bit to see get brought up, you could get some "mixed reactions" from the WWE Universe, and possibly make this thing work.

Even CM Punk, have the WWE Champion start a "revolution" and these superstars be known as "the voiceless" that he often referred to last year. Have Punk start this group, and bring Laurainitis in as their executive. You would have guys like Punk, Miz, Mysterio, Christian, Swagger, etc who are all former WWE/World Champions that could match up with Sheamus, Orton, Cena, etc so it wouldn't seem "one sided" as every other "Invasion" kind of storyline has seemed in the past.

[milopo]

Take out Drew and add Yoshi and I'm up for it.

[The Champ]

Have Punk start this group, and bring Laurainitis in as their executive.

See though, that just can't work. The rest of your idea isn't bad, but it doesn't make sense for Punk to base a group around his Voiceless gimmick and then be aligned with one of its main targets.

I have no idea how Laurinaitis, the guy who is famous for "future endeavoring" people who could have done a lot more, being a part of this makes any sense at all.

Because Laurinaitis himself got dumped on his ass by WWE. So although before he was doing the dirty work, Now hes in the same boat as th Voiceless. It would be a situation where Johnny Ace wouldnt be a face, He would just be the guy nobody trust's but is in charge because ultimately they each need each other to achieve the same goal...Being Relevant again

I dont know why you dont see that

The end result can be Ace turning on the group, Fine whatever. But throughout he would be the guy who has been there done that and wants vindication just like everyone else for what WWE is doing to him/them. He would know the ins and outs of WWE though so it would make him a great "in charge" kinda guy. Baring in mind everyone in the group would be skeptical of him, However being that WWE ruined him they would trust hes there for the right reasons. Obviously in the end Ace would be out for himself

I dont know that this is what everyone else has in mind for Ace, But this is how I see it

[The Champ]

Why would they need a guy with no power to accomplish their goal?
