9 Vital Ways To Improve WWE RAW

4. Utilize Legends' Appearances Better

This suggestion has been discussed all over the place during the last several months in large part because of the WWE€™s failure to adequately utilize their latest legends€™ appearances.

The WWE has given the audience no reason to remember it. It€™s not often that the WWE has major names like Austin, Undertaker or Michaels appear on TV so when they do, a plan should be in place for them. Why couldn€™t Lesnar have laid one of them out to send a message to Undertaker before Hell In A Cell? Why couldn€™t Flair have been outsmarted by Sheamus or Rollins, with or without the help of Triple H (just to possibly add some layers to the story)? There€™s ways to use legends even without having them take bumps, but they shouldn€™t just be background, wall art or used for promotional consideration. That's Lord Alfred Hayes' job. It doesn€™t always have to be A-List Hall of Famers, but using stars from yesterday is a good way to get back viewers that may have tuned out or have forgotten about the product, but if the legends don't come off as important then the opportunity was wasted.
