#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.
