5 Theories why Vince McMahon keeps bringing back WWE Legends

#4 Boosting WWE Raw and WWE SmackDown ratings

This is probably a given, but yeah, people still love seeing guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Hulk Hogan, Booker T and so much more. The argument is legitimate when WWE does bring them back. Nostalgia never dies and it's always fun to hearken back to an era where everything WWE touched was gold no matter what.

People do tune in when these WWE legends come on-screen. Some critics say it is to cover the cracks in recent WWE programming, but it goes without saying, the content has improved in recent weeks and doesn't feel as contrived as it was before.

Let's be blunt and let's be honest! Some fans may complain, but it's fun to see Hulk Hogan interact with one of the younger guys or Stone Cold Steve Austin with Kevin Owens. It's fun, plain and simple.

About the author

My love of professional wrestling has been a journey. When I look back at my life, I realize that it's always been there in the background. While there were years where I stopped following it, I don't think I ever stopped loving it.

I have always been writing, and I have honed my skillset over the years, writing for various newspapers, publications, and other entertainment websites. Wrestling is just a happy accident and coincided with my falling back in love with the genre, with the rise of AEW.

Wrestling is physical storytelling and stories; they make us fly! I recount those stories through analytical features and news that come out of it.
