8. Dana White Would Immediately Buy Impact Wrestling
Dana White has been in and around UFC long enough to have seen the company purchase PRIDE and Strikeforce, the two companies with a considerably lessened market share that attempted to compete with a then-surging UFC. Similar to PRIDE and Strikeforce, Impact Wrestling has been in existence for nearly 15 years and largely failed at attempting to compete with WWE. If Dana White were WWE's CEO right now and bought Impact, the following things happen IMMEDIATELY that make WWE kinda fun to watch. Lana is allowed to turn babyface because WWE can work with Kurt Angle again and position him as a heel Russian sympathizer and Rusev's trainer. Rusev learns both the Angle Lock and the Olympic Slam, plus imagine him trading in the gold star for Kurt's Olympic gold medal. Also, the promos. Oh my. Bobby Roode and James Storm can re-form Beer Money and become another great tag team in WWE. Bobby Lashley being used as an on-air surrogate for Brock Lesnar, to mean that in order to face Brock, you'd have to beat Lashley first. Awesome Kong vs. Charlotte MVP and Low Ki can go to NXT and pair with Angelo Dawkins and Sawyer Fulton as the improved Beat Down Clan Drew Galloway can pair with Sheamus and King Barrett Imagine WWE as a talent booker and sending around The Wolves, EC3, Gail Kim, Bully Ray and The Beautiful People as talent scouts to wrestle top talents at various independent promotions. Also, they could work with The Hardys OMEGA as another developmental group.
