With all the injuries, roster is terribly thinned out; WWE needs more mega-stars from past!

Two Names: Goldberg and Jeff Hardy.

Since they won't touch kurt, and every other past names has already been hired, these two stars are WWE's best option. Goldberg and hardy can provide much needed starpower and perhaps fresh opponents for currently active main eventers.

Hardy might even agree to full time contract. He can still go.

Cause we haven't had enough of Brock, Sting, Taker and the lot of them this year?

I sound hypocritical on this topic and I do sound like I contradict myself but it's so difficult, you have a young and at the moment extremely thin roster with no real star power and whatever bit you do have (Cena, Orton, Rollins) are all injured or away makes it hard.

People have 0 patience to stick by up and coming stars while they are built up and at the same time WWE couldn't build a star if their life depended on it.

At the same time having old stars return is great and has it's nostalgia but when you keep relying on them like the WWE has for years and has only got worse since Punk and Bryan went, you are never ever going to build new stars up and no one will ever be seen as the next Rock or SCSA or HHH or Taker.

The more of these guys they keep bringing back, the less likely they are to ever bother even trying to develop the younger talent they have.

I mean, in theory it sounds great. Use the classics as a bridge for a while to get fans buzzing. Then use them to help elevate the next generation. But it does not work that way anymore.

I don't think that would do any good.

With every cloud there's a silver lining and despite having So many injuries currently and a lack of star power, something good can come from this by giving the right performers on the roster more of a chance than they would have if those were uninjured, or ever would have if all they did was re-hire older talent.

I'd like to see Jeff Hardy back and I'd pop for Goldberg, but I'm not crying out for their return to save WWE. WWE is in a bad place, but it's the time where they may have the means to get through it and perhaps set something up for the future too.

No thanks. Dont need more,legends stinking up the main event scene. And not doing their duty of putting over young talent. I mean heck sakes Dudleys putting over Wyatts in a raw tag match is rare. Even bk in the day 03 Rock put Goldberg over. And he left. So no not Goldberg, the guy has zero passion for Pro Wrestling. And Hunter doesent like him. It used to work but not anymore. Focus on pushing the x-current talent. Or we well have 20 years from now. Rock walking down the ramp with a walking stick squashing Wyatt :D.

Bring back brock to win the title. Have heyman pimp his match for the title. Bring undertaker in full time with kane in manager roles with the wyatts as their bitches, er, lackeys since they will never be better than them to be their muscle as top heels.

I mean come on, everyone loves taker! Center the weekly shows around him, the ppvs around brock and ratings go through the roof! $$$$$

Having just brought back ADR that brought as much excitement as a Tax-hike, the Dudleyz being used as tagteam fodder and Taker's 25th SS anniversary a flash in the pan why should anymore Legends etc be brought back to become afterthoughts?

This is good thought because it is a message from God saying that it is Roman's time. Roman's time was suppose to be last year but where has the bitching got you smarks? Another year with Roman. Like I said the more it gets delayed the more your smark favorites get delayed. As soon as Roman has his big winning moment that is the time to open doors for other superstars that are inferior to Roman.

what they NEED to do is forget about the legends of past just a wee bit and call up 2-3 names from NxT give them the ball for 5-6 months since we can develop happen til some of these injured get back from their injuries if they make a unique stamp on things keep em on the roster if not just send them back to NxT after Mania

Fuck no.

Last thing we need is a 50 year old Goldberg, and as much as I like Jeff Hardy, he's approaching 40 and probably is worse for wear after all his body has been through.

Also, you sound just like Vince Mcmahon. Congrats on the ban.

They'd be far better off if they actually built up their current talent instead of making half of them look like geeks.

It'd mean that they wouldn't have to resort to bringing back part timers and ageing superstars who aren't as good as they used to be.

I'd accept Hardy back if he had a run with the tag titles with Matt Hardy to put over a younger team.


I'd also allow Jeff to go for the title much later down (if he survives without his drugz) and Matt could be used to elevate in the midcard such as the IC/US title.

Bringing them back to have them have their moment and eventually pass a torch would be great. But if it's going to go down like the Dudley Boys, I'll pass.

A Goldberg return would actually be beneficial. Just as long as he jobs to the newer talent which I'm sure wouldn't be a problem for him if offered the right price. See Sting for example. Also, have Lesnar get his win back from WM20.

What they need to do is pick about 6 or 7 guys who they'll protect and never have lose against a bunch of mid-carders or jobbers. They're doing it with Reigns, and they need to add Ambrose, Wyatt, Rusev, Owens to that immediately. They should not be losing to anyone except maybe each other occasionally, and they all need to have stories that actually matter.

Guys like Ziggler, The Miz, Ryback, Big Show, Kane etc. should be used as their jobbers, and should never be getting victories over them. Rusev was doing well until the fucking Ziggler feud derailed him. Wyatt has been looking like crap even though they have a prime opportunity with his faction to have him run roughshod over the roster justifiably. Owens is still okay in all fairness. Ambrose has been run through the shitter.

They need to be consistent. The 50/50 booking has fucked everything up. There is one story on the fucking show with the male roster. It's a 3 hour show. How do you justify that? It makes no sense.

They also need to stop the fucking 20 minute matches on Raw. It makes no fucking sense to do it because you end up making feuds stale even before the PPV. They need to use Raw to build storylines. This then helps the story in the match on the actual PPV. This is how wrestling has always worked. It's about storytelling. Instead you have two guys have the same match for six weeks straight. Who the hell is going to care if it's on PPV then? It's not interesting or exciting anymore.

No interest in seeing Goldberg again and I loved him at one point and completely agree that I wouldn't want the Hardys brought back to be treated as the Dudleys have been. I've really enjoyed seeing some old faces this year, but it's getting to be a bit much. Sting came to WWE just to lose twice. I was glad he put Seth over. The other one. Not so much. I've enjoyed Takers run mostly neciasbecause I think this is the end for him and that he won't be a guy that can't stay retired.
