*In Paul Heyman's voice* BROCK LESNAR!!!

Out of everybody on the list, he's the only one that isn't too banged up to go full-time anymore or doesn't have any other projects on the side. I know New Age Outlaws aren't banged up and don't have any other projects on the side either, but they are a tag team so they don't count. And out of everybody on the list, Brock has a TON of potential feuds which could keep him busy in the company for the next 3 years without taking any breaks. Potential feuds with guys like Orton, Sheamus, Henry, Rock again, Taker again, Big Show again, Punk, Del Rio, Kane maybe, Swagger maybe, Barrett maybe. Brock matches up well stylistically with all of them. With Orton, Sheamus, Henry, Big Show, Kane, Taker, Rock and Barrett, we'd get fun hard-hitting, intense matches. With Punk, Swagger, Del Rio and maybe even Bryan, we'd get some nice technical matches.
 
Brock Lesnar IMO has the most to offer. His first run was cut short but he's still young enough to have the career that many expected him to have before his sudden departure. It would be nice to see Lesnar get that HBK style 2nd act.
 
To be honest, I would go with Triple-H.

I think he has the most to give by being full time now. Of course, the other guys could do it and do contribute by being part-time, but I think particularly with HHH taking over more talent-relations, he could be in a good position to "mould" talent via his in-ring "general" status. Furthermore, in my opinion, HHH is the perfect middle-ground. The New Age Outlaws are really widely known by Attitude Era fans, but a lot of the newer fans don't exactly understand the importance of these guys enough to make their "rub" as valuable as it could be.

Foley, Rock and Taker are pretty big stars and have massive respect in their own right. Foley and Taker in particular don't need to be full-time to really help get others over. Fans are very much accustomed to Taker being a once-a-year guy and that's something special. A perfect example of Foley's abilities is the C.M Punk / Foley promo from not long ago. Or the Orton / Foley Backlash promo in the mid-2000s because even at that time, Foley could easily have been considered "part-time".

This might not go over well with some people, but I look at Lesnar in a similar way to how I look at Lex Luger because when I was growing up, I was a WWF guy and I was watching post-Luger's WWF run. I knew he was a star during his run and I knew quite a lot about him, but he wasn't one of those guys who I looked back on and wished would have one more run.

New and old audiences alike are familiar with HHH and it makes a lot of sense to me business wise, if he could handle it with his new schedule. He is high-profile enough to not lose credibility, but I wouldn't call him "legendary" enough at this point to be a 'part-time' attraction.
 
Brock Lesnar is an easy pick for me as his previous run was so short there is still so much for him to do, plus he's the most unique athlete in wrestling history, his mix of agility, speed, power and technique is freakish. He also carries the aura of a true destroyer and legit wrecking machine, something the business is lacking right now with weak imitations like Sheamus and Ryback.
 
Although I would prefer to see The Rock or even Brock lesnar today's WWE would benefit most from Chris Jericho because he is just as talented a wrestler and on the mic as The Rock at times, plus he has no problem putting stars over in the ring.

Most of your list are guys from the Attitude Era when "heavyweights were heavyweights" and now there's only a handful of those guys on the WWE roster. So size don't matter
