An idea to make the autumn PPV season a bit more interesting

**James Steele** · 07-09-2011, 11:17 PM

The difference is that WWE is the largest promotion in the world, bought the company they are ripping off, selling merch about said company, and the match concept hasn't been done in almost 15 years. WWE still does King of the Rings, Royal Rumbles, Hell in a Cells, etc so other promotions doing it would obviously called rip-offs. TNA got called a rip off for their Sting return promos because they did basically the exact same promos for Sting 2 weeks after WWE did them for Undertaker, but if it had been 15 years later I doubt anybody would have really noticed/cared. There aren't enough "WCW fans" left to really hurt WWE's image if they revived the concept. If anything "WCW Fans" might actually enjoy the revival of a staple match from their favorite promotion.
