Mysterio's knees are shot and he can't stay healthy. Benoit and Guerrero are dead. Sting is unfortunately past it. Likewise for Flair, Hall, Nash, Foley, Steiner, etc. Goldberg hasn't been in a ring for a decade. I get that there are nostalgia nuts like Seth, who's mantra is Past > Present but I think they make up such a small number now. At some point you need to let go. If they couldn't launch anything off the back of the WCW brand back in 2001 when they first got hold of the property you can bet they'd struggle to do it now. |

They could have launched something in 2001. Vince just had no interest in doing such a thing.

Yet were suggesting that he should be interested in it in 2014?

Also, Big Show can still go.
Just give him a wig and everything will be fine. |

I actually would love a one-off "WCW One Night Only" show on the network.
Yeah, it would be all about nostalgia. So what? The main selling point of WWE Network is nostalgia anyway. |

Also, it would give Bobby Eaton the chance to show that he can still go and get signed to a full time contract.

How about In Your House?
I think the name is old enough now to be a "retro" ppv. Just say that WWE invites various Legends and Hall of Famers back for another ppv. Set it up where a legend is in every match somehow. Be it a guest ref, a manager to even out the odds, or even in the ring. Let Mene Gene do backstage interviews, have The Fink do all the announcing, and make it look "old school." |

Maybe Fully Loaded, and have it in Vegas every year and have each match gimmick decided by the RAW Roulette wheel.
