9. Bring Back WCW
Bringing back WCW, in whatever fashion, is bound to be a money maker for WWE. So why don't they do it? Old wounds and lingering bitterness can be the only plausible explanation. The fact is that WCW DVD collections are always top sellers for WWE. Then look at how they brought Sting in and created a ton of publicity, or the way the Monday Night War series was one of the big original selling points of the WWE Network. It is plainly obvious that WCW nostalgia is valuable. A relaunched WCW on the Network, or re-branding Smackdown as WCW, sounds way more interesting than some of the generic output that fans are currently subjected to. You also have to look at how the initial re-launch of ECW did such fantastic PPV numbers for WWE ten years ago, and that was a promotion with a far smaller viewership than WCW. Bringing back the brand has been a bankable idea for years, but it seems like Vince McMahon just doesn't fancy it. He hated it then, and he seemingly still hates it now.
