Shocked to see so many people against a Stevie return. He is a former multiple time World Champion, and won the 2004 Royal Rumble.. I don´t get the joke. Are we refering to Benoit as Stevie now? I think he's referring to the WWF game For N64 No mercy in the year 2001 ( I think he got the year wrong), anyways in the game Big Show was pulled because of a contract issue and was replaced in story mode with Steven Richards for some reason, and was a multiple time world champion and won the RR.

Rather than hiring too many guys over 40, I'd like for WWE to reach out to talents like Drew McIntyre & EC3. I know they are currently in TNA, but who knows what kind of contract they have. They may be more available than any of us know.
I also think WWE should call Cody Rhodes. Offer to have him re-debut as Cody Rhodes and even have Eden as his personal valet/manager. Complete character overhaul.

Really rather than old wrestlers...I would like to see them hire back some old WRITERS! Jim Cornette for one. The old time wrestling STILL works to this day. The hero vs. villain are alltime classics. Jim could write interesting TV.
It is like Vince russo said. robert Deniro is a legendary actor. But unless he is given GOOD material to work with he will not be good. I.E. Rocky and Bullwinkle. the movie flopped because the material was not good.
I love the old heel vs faces formula. It could still work today. remove Stephanie from creative.

He absolutely hated Kevin Owens and see how wrong he was there?

What I don't understand about WWE reaching out to older stars for the upcoming brand extension...
They already have a ton of superstars that are ready to carry the championship - Del Rio, Cesaro, Kevin Ownes, Ambrose, Reigns, Jericho, Miz, AJ Styles, Big Show, Bray Wyatt, Orton, Bubba Ray Dudley, Cena, Kane, Rollins, Sheamus, and thats just the main roster.
There is so many people that could carry the company, but if they are successful at getting Goldberg, Angle, Jeff Hardy, thats more people in the mix that would push a lot of them down and possibly out. Cause you know those three people will jump to the top no matter what. I can see Goldberg being champ within 6 months. From a nostalgia pov, yeah it would be great. I am actually for Goldberg being champ. (I am also convinced that half of WWE's revenue comes from nostalgia alone. All the people still buying Austin, NWO, Rock shirts.) But not sure it would be good overall.
I'd love Stevie Richards and Tajiri to come back.

They're gonna need a hell of a lot of talent to make the brand extension work. These guys would be a welcome addition

But not sure it would be good overall. I'd love Stevie Richards and Tajiri to come back. If Goldberg comes back, I don't see him being a regular on either show. He'd be more like Lesnar showing up periodically. Same for Angle. I wouldn't mind seeing RVD come back, but many of the other guys that are no longer with the company hold little appeal to me. My biggest concern with WWE remains on if they can keep a good creative flow. There's too much redundancy seeing the same guys constantly wrestling each other every week plus again at PPVs.

They can't even use the talent they currently have properly. Why do they think going on a hiring spree will fix anything? They need to re-think how they book guys (other than cena and Roman because those guys seem to be the only ones that have any thought put into their storylines/matches).
Maybe they should treat the talent they have properly... Ryback, Sandow and Rhodes could've/should've been top talent. It doesn't matter who they sign. They'll just mis-use them. Look at the Dudley Boys...they lose pretty much every time they are on TV. If they booked them solid and then had a team go over on them it would actually give the new team the rub. But right now you see the Dudleys come out and instantly you know they'll lose.

That works for me too. Cornette and even Russo do it for me. We need some old school writers IMO. Steph has had many years with creative and it is clearly not working.

But tell me since he does not work anymore who does in your opinion? Honestly a lot of the great bookers/writers are starting to pass. The only two left that I think can genuinely improve the product are Heyman and Dutch Mantell. They wrote the RAW a few years back with the Mark Henry retirement angle and it was legit one of the best RAW episodes ever. I'm not saying Cornette can't do the job anymore but he would be better on a team of sorts. Heyman, Dutch and Cornette together would be the perfect blend. topics like this really make me see how much I miss Dusty. He was another that would have been very valuable in a spot like this.

I love Corny. I could listen to him talk shop for hours on end and rail all sorts of vulgarities against the likes of RussBro and Dunn.
I don't want him calling shots though.
The guy has a clear and historical inability to put aside personal differences for the sake of the product. If he decides you're on the outs, you're out. Plain and simple. I don't want a guy like that anywhere near the biggest product going today. His own promotion? Be my guest, call the shots all day and all night straight up and down the smokey mountain.
Otherwise? Just keep talking.

Carlito back maybe with Primo & Epico and have Rosa manage them so she isn't just their doing nothing when she gets back off maternity leave. Or have him up for the IC title. Should have never have let Sandow go. Cameron improved a ton and her gimmick was solid she'd be fine on the main roster if they didn't give her the Summer Rae treatment and never ever use her... Shelton Benjamin back as IC Champion run to help the newer stars that's if they need any... Angle as the U.S Champion. Hardy Boyz vs Dudley Boyz. Should have give Cody Rhodes his Dashing gimmick back gave him a long and good title run. ^^Eden would still be there then also.
I also read multiple things about Trish Stratus being interested. If she didn't have ring rust then Trish vs Sasha would be amazing imo.

I could care less about most of the names listed. Aside from Jeff Hardy and John Morrison. I'd personally love to see a former diva return! Tbh I don't really care who it was, Mickie James would be awesome though. I can't see Beth, Layla, Kaitlyn, Aj, etc returning. I could see Mickie, Eve, or Michelle though!
