8 Wrestlers Who Should've Been Hired Over 8 Current WWE Stars
3. Brian Cage Instead Of Ryback
If a fan of Lucha Underground, one of the highlights of the past season was the work of Brian Cage. Cage -- though not with his present look -- was under a WWE deal in 2008, as was Ryback. One can only imagine if the more agile, and seemingly much less fragile Cage were in the position of Ryback, the man who currently shares his body type, and is the currentl WWE Intercontinental Champion. If the '80s in pro wrestling taught us any two things it's that bodybuilders are both a) a dime a dozen and b) very rare when they are both athletic and can connect with a crowd, too. Ryback's excellent as a tough, big babyface. However, he's somewhat limited due to serious injuries suffered during his wrestling career, and would thus be great in a tag team. Brian Cage, however, definitely someone who can be put in a money-making situation and shine, plus could easily be molded by WWE into a major attraction.
