Top 5 companies that would benefit from hiring Joey Mercury

#3 WWE

He's been there before, and with WWE's new direction, maybe a return would benefit both parties.

WWE is in the opposite of financial straits. Even with some recent difficulties in the stock market (which are projected to start moving back upward and surely will), the company may be bringing in more revenue than ever before.

With that in mind, the 40-year-old former pro wrestler would be able to secure himself for life by taking a WWE contract. In this case, Mercury could do more than one job, as well.

The Performance Center is constantly bringing in guest coaches to help some of heir young talent move along with their development. They also have a strong core of full-time trainers. With the Performance Center growing at a rapid pace, it would be great for them to have another person for the young talent to look toward for guidance.

Joey would be a great man to have around, even for seasoned pros who may have 10-15 years of in-ring competition under their belts. AJ Styles himself said that the biggest regret he has about not going to NXT for a short stint before joining the main roster was how difficult it was to learn how to play to the camera, not to the crowd. Mercury spent many years doing that, so his experience could be crucial for re-training the men and women in that particular area.

Plus, with Lance Storm shutting down his training school and opting to sign with WWE as a road agent, it opens up a spot that he easily could have taken as a trainer. Storm would have been a great fit for the WWE PC, but he's going to be on the road with the main roster. Joey Mercury could be the man at the PC instead, and he could be very influential, especially since his biggest passion in recent years is doing everything he can to help others succeed.
