WWE : 5 reasons why relying on veteran talent is best for business 

#3 WWE relying on veterans creates nostalgia

WWE relying on Randy Orton and other established talent is a nice trip down memory lane.

WWE has been called "soft" lately, and this remark has motivated the company to step up with its storytelling. Of course, there have been some hits and misses, but WWE's current use of legends is one of the most interesting parts of its television product. In fact, seeing so many familiar names can make fans feel like they're living through the Ruthless Aggression Era all over again.

Between Ric Flair becoming Lacey Evans's manager and Goldberg competing at the Royal Rumble, this period has been a nice trip down memory lane. Plus, the decision to bring back the Legend Killer gimmick with Randy Orton was another successful choice on WWE's part.

Ultimately, this stretch of time might not be as good as the original Ruthless Aggression Era. But it shows that WWE is acknowledging a wider audience. It could also pave the way for some very interesting matchups at WrestleMania this year. As a result, even the most skeptical of fans will want to tune in for the fun.
