if anyone, who would you wanna see come and join The Shield? how or under what circumstances?

aside from the obvious Ohno for marking purposes. I would love to see Bronson be brought up as some sort of secret ass kicking weapon

I'm not really a fan of Bronson for whatever reason. Ohno would be a good idea, and I think in bringing some of these guys up to be in Shield it opens up a whole new avenue of NXT guys making names for themselves. For instance, if you brought up Ohno, you could bring up Steamboat to play opposite. But they'd have to be careful to avoid bringing up that many guys all at once.

No one. Three members is fine, and I think that bringing in new people by debuting them in the stable would be a mistake. They're not Nexus. They have a set agenda. If they have someone in NXT who already believes in their agenda and was a part of the group, why was that person not with them already. I think it would work best to bring the others up as their own characters. Especially guys like Ohno and Bronson, who are awesome talkers and can get themselves over that way.

I'd like to see Alex Riley and (maybe) Mason Ryan join; a couple guys who aren't being used at all, but def should. Plus, I think it could strengthen the group to have someone who's already in the WWE involved. When Riley was actual being used, he appeared with Punk a lot backstage; if the Shield is going to have this suspicious connection with Punk for a while, a solid connection to the two would increase the scandal, imo.

i agree with brm, they should stay like this for a long while.

At this point, I'll agree that they don't need a 4th. They've got a talker, a wrestler, some muscle, and the momentum of a high profile debut.

If they feel the need to add anything to this dynamic in a few weeks, I think somebody with a little roster presence might be a good fit. Not somebody that would overshadow them (like Punk and Heyman would), just somebody that would bring some credentials. Not a leader, just a familiar member (like Badnewz said). I'm thinking somebody like a returning Mark Henry. Possibly a repackaged Jack Swagger. Christian might work here or a heel turn for Zack Ryder. John Laurinaitis could be pulling the strings.

I think all of those guys you named are too big and would overshadow them. Johnny Curtis would have been a good addition with him complaining about not getting the title shot he is owed, but oh well.

Only if they were brought in as leaders. If they continue as a collective, without a leader, working together with these bigger names will elevate all three of them. Remember, my original point was not to bring in any new members for a month or two, when they start cooling off. Nobody will care if another "noob" is introduced at this point, it'd have the same impact that Mike McGuillicutty and Husky Harris joining Nexus did.

Ric Flair.
