Id have loved it 13 years ago but there is no more WCW. The stars are gone. There's like 2-3 active guys who are legit "WCW guys" Rey Mysterio? He's been injured the past couple of years

I'd rather them not try to pretend WCW still exists. I'd much rather another billionaire like Ted Turner come along and start up another actual promotion and give McMahon another kick in the ass.....for now, how about just stop making Smackdown the RAW highlight show where the feature is showing what happened to Cena or Daniel Bryan on RAW.

They'd never do that.
I'd love it, though.

The only thing that will make the WWE’s second show create a buzz is making it live. It doesn’t matter what the name of the show is. They could name the second show TNA Impact, as long as it’s live every week. I think the only problem is spoilers, which I’m not against, and I actually read them every week, but at the same time, it makes me think, do I want to spend 2 hours of my time watching something I already read about and others are already talking about, or would I rather watch old PPVs that I missed when I was younger?? (by the way, I’m currently on SummerSlam 1993, if anyone is keeping track of my “watch every PPV” mission)
As far as Wrestling vs. Entertainment goes, like the Rock says, it doesn’t matter. Wrestling and Entertainment are both under one World, hence the name World Wrestling Entertainment. You need both and you need both the be as equal as possible.
Here’s a question for you to ponder. Why do WWE video games, specifically the Universe mode, become repetitive after a year?? Answer, it’s all Wrestling and no Entertainment. I can only see so many moves done over and over again. I need to see and hear the why things are happening.
Oh and yeah, WCW is dead. The Brand Extension could work again, but they won’t do it. The Big Gold Belt is retired. The only remaining active remnant of WCW is the United States Championship, and that’s about to be absorbed for a second time. I would like to see ceremony where Edge presents the United Continental Champion a new Belt to whoever unifies the Intercontinental and United States Championships.

At one time... sure. But I think that ship sailed long ago. wCw has no name value in today's wrestling world. That sadly is very true, hell even back when Vince first bought WCW he was toying with the idea of making WCW its on show from what I understand and the networks even back then wanted nothing to do with it.... Actually, Vince's original plan was to keep WCW on TNT, but Spike kiboshed it because they wanted to be the only game in town. Then Vince was gonna replace SmackDown with Nitro and do the whole brand split...then Booker T and Buff Bagwell sucked up the joint so much Vince kept SmackDown and threw WCW away to the annals of history. On topic, that's a terrible idea. Part of the appeal of WCW during the brand split was that it would feel like a different promotion entirely. Doing it now would be as cheap as the 2006 ECW revival. You get some old fans for a few weeks, they realize it's nothing like it used to be, then they go back to not caring about it. Why do that to WCW?

Nah. Nobody wanted to touch WCW in 2001 so they sure as hell won't want anything to do with it in 2014.

One of the worst "bring back something old" ideas I've ever seen posted on here. Networks rejected the idea of turning a WWF show into a WCW show back when Vince was trying that tactic in 2001. WCW is a retro brand that's okay to sell a DVD once or twice a year, but it's worthless as an ongoing concern. The ship sailed long ago.
And even if they did make a WCW show, it'd just be the brand split under another name... And the reason the brand split ended is because there aren't enough headline stars for two brands to be viable.
The PG SUX horse has bolted. The company puts out a PG-rated product, makes a lot of money by doing so, and isn't going to change that just to appease a guy on the Internet. Nor should they, because none of WWE's problems have anything to do with a PG rating.
As for "more wrestling, less entertainment" -- for starters, wrestling is entertainment. And secondly, it's an irrelevant point that's just copy and pasted from about 2005. In 2014, WWE produces an extremely wrestling-heavy product (because matches are easier to sell to foreign audiences than promos), to the point where the lack of storylines and characters is one of the big reasons they don't get many wrestlers over anymore. It's just fifteen minute filler match, fifteen minute filler rematch, fifteen minute filler rematch. If a WCW brand had even less storylines and characters, it'd be a disaster.

Yea, I agree with everything you said to be honest. However if WWE are bringing back Sting as a possible opponent for Taker or whoever at WM next year then i dont think WCW is as worthless as you make out seeing how Sting was a WCW legend.
