WWE came up with their own list the other day. And well, it's pretty bullshit... even Harper agrees.

"Luke Harper wrote

“When you put a list of the ten hottest free agents available in today’s market, and I mean no offense to them, but when Cryme Tyme ranks above you, it really makes you question your career choices … Cryme Tyme couldn’t be more irrelevant to today’s wrestling scene. So for them to rank above me, it’s a bit of a slap in the face.”

Firstly, let's look at that list.

  • The Rock
  • The Undertaker
  • Nikki Bella
  • The Brian Kendrick
  • Bayley
  • Cryme Tyme
  • Carlito
  • Mickie James
  • The Great Khali
  • Tajiri

What a shit list. I'll give them some, but some are just ridiculous. Cryme Tyme? The Great Khali? Carlito? I thought Mickie James was retired. And why is Bayley on here? She's with NXT, and so if she's classed as a free agent then there are better ones in NXT that should be on this list in place of others (Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, etc). And as the Rock and Undertaker barely wrestle they shouldn't count - both are like semi-retired.

Anyway, so the point is, who are your top 10 free agents?

Carlito is in the list for me, I'd love to see him come back. Also wouldn't mind seeing TBK come back for the Cruiserweight Division.

Luke Harper's being a bit of a bitch though. He's employed by the company and will get a decent push when he returns from injury, what's he bitching for?

I can understand it. He doesn't have a brand, so according to WWE he's classed as a "free agent", even though we all know he isn't. Considering he's better than half that list, I'd be annoyed if I was him. And it's not like he's slightly better, for a big guy he is good. Would be like a slap in the face not being included on a list like that.

But then saying that, I wouldn't bitch about it as I couldn't take the list seriously with Khali listed in there. Clearly just WWE trying to hit all the bases for their global push of the WWE brand.

My list so far:
Brian Kendrick
Kurt Angle
Luke Harper (just for story since he is under contract)
Wade Barrett (wouldn't happen though given how soon ago he was released)
Cody Rhodes (same as Barrett)
Marty Scurll
Zack Sabre Jr.
Paul London
Tyson Kidd (has he retired? I'm not sure...)
Kota Ibushi (offered an NXT contract but apparently not signed it (unless something has changed since I last saw news on him))

I was going to add Ted DiBiase Jr., but then I remembered reading that he'd retired.

He's not officially retired (Tyson Kidd), but he is considered inactive atm. So he might not come back. He's in the same limbo Daniel Bryan was in before he retired so it's not looking good.

I fully expect Ibushi, Alexander, Kendrick and Sabre Jr to either join RAW's Cruiserweight Division or NXT.

I don't think we will ever see Tyson again... not in wwe anyways... from things i have heard being said from those closes to him... he has panic attacks just driving down the street... because a small wreck could kill him.

Yeah that isn't good. I did read a few months ago someone saying that he was retired in the Christian way - not announced it and likely won't, but we'll never see him wrestle again. I think it was Natalia. Can't remember. Anyways, I added him purely because if he's not officially retired then he's one of the best "free agents" going.

Real shame though if it's that bad that he's scared to drive down his street.

This is pretty much a list of WWE Alumni that they're still on good terms with. 🙂
