Ive thought for a long time that seasoned veterans are the oil that makes the WWE engine run. I keep thinking of a true success story - when finlay returned. Finlay was no more than a lower mid carder in WCW and he came to WWE and made a true success of himself. I feel that WWE can really utilise on talented veterans and put them into a finlay-esque situation. I feel WWE could make some wrestlers return to the company and be more successful then there original run. a perfect example could be a guy like Steve Blackman, he has kept himself in good shape, he could work of some ring rust in development for a few weeks and then become a good upper midcarder on ECW or SD. Another wrestler perhaps could be Scott Hall, he could really be the finlay of RAW in the sense he can have stella matches with opponents. It also got me thinking about superstars of the past who have past away, for example do you think Rick Rude or British bulldog could be decent draws and could still work well in todays WWE?
Just a few thoughts.

steve blackman sucks, I dont see what the big man crush on him by everyone is. Scott Hall, although I love the guy to death, is a huge risk factor with his past. IF he is cleaned up though it might be worthing giving him 1 more shot. I agree with what you mean but there are plenty of veterans around with Finlay, Regal, Chavo, Holly, Duggan, Venis, Kane and Dreamer....and thats just your mid card talent. You still have vets like HBK, HHH, Taker, Edge who are in the main event range.

If anything, they need to build up two wrestlers like HBK/B.Hart & Rock/Austin, there seems to be a lack of good rivalries today and if you build up two guys and have them rival eachother starting in the midcard, over period of 3 or 4 years then you can start seriously pushing them to the top.

See: MVP/Matt Hardy. Hardy may be a veteran himself, of sorts, but both could still compete in the main event in another year or two.
