10 Reasons Why Shane McMahon Should Bring Back WCW Raw

Nostalgia kick or not, it'd be the ultimate way to restart the 'Brand Extension'...

Many pro wrestling fans seem to agree that Shane McMahon is going to do some crazy things come WrestleMania 32. After all, pretty much any time the McMahon son has entered the ring, he has enjoyed throwing his body around to try and steal the show. Big stunts and falls have become a hallmark of his in-ring appearances, and the lure of coming off the Hell In A Cell structure may be too great for Shane. Some have their reservations over the match, but most fans generally feel it'll be an interesting watch. There's one big question overshadowing everything however, just where do WWE go in the immediate aftermath? Win or lose, it makes sense to keep Shane McMahon around for the foreseeable future, because the company could glean a few more matches out of his recent return. There's even talk that the 'Brand Extension' could be about to make a comeback. This would split both Monday Night Raw and Thursday Night Smackdown into different rosters, possibly complete with their own titles and pay-per-views (or at least WWE Network specials). If that did happen, imagine Shane turned Raw into a WCW-branded show? This harks back to 2001, when the then-WWF purchased WCW. The initial idea appeared to be turning Raw into WCW's program, keeping Smackdown under the WWF name, but it all fell through. Now, it could be the perfect time to rekindle that old flame, and this article outlines exactly why.
