Terribly predictable and generic legends show.

Wish they'd stop using the same old guys over and over. Wanna see people return that we haven't seen since they left. Ken Shamrock appearance would be awesome! John Morrison! Carlito! Even some WCW throwbacks like Norman Smiley would be fun.

Nash still looked great. Out of the legends, except for Christian of course, he looked most like the one who could legit come back for a match and not seem totally out of place.

Imagine if they had, for example, had Steve Austin endorse Kevin Owens in his feud with Shane McMahon. If they'd had Samoa Joe choke out Hulk Hogan. If they'd actually acknowledged Alundra Blayze as a genuine trailblazer rather than a reductionist "the one that put a belt in the bin", and used her to put over Becky Lynch or Alexa Bliss.
It wouldn't have been at all difficult to use this show to put over some current talent, or move things forward somehow. Even having Seth Rollins actually put over by The Kliq rather than looking like the dorky kid wanting to hang out with his older brother's cool friends would have been something. |

Another thing that feels played out about anytime they bring back legends is that they always have to be portrayed as a face. Kevin Nash has said a few years ago that he loved what Bullet Club were doing in Japan. Couldn't Hall and Nash have stood behind the OC and made it a 5 on 5 instead of just merging DX and nWo into a babyface supergroup because Kliq?
I just think you can add more to stories to not only use legends to put over current talent but to also let those characters stay true to themselves. I remember when Edge had to play the helpless legend in peril when Rollins threatened to break his neck with the Curb Stomp if Cena didn't agree to reinstate the Authority. As soon as Cena relented, Edge should've popped right up and he and Rollins have a laugh. Rollins enlisted a fellow sleazeball to trick Cena. It's totally something Edge would've done at the height of his career during the Rated-R Superstar days. |

Ive never understood the excitment over seeing guys you used to like not wrestle.....or do much of anything really
For me it just cheapens the memory. |
