10 More Ways WWE Could Mine Nostalgia During The Empty Arena Era
8. The Not-So-Anonymous General Manager
Why have WWE not raided Vince McMahon's rolodex for weekly Skype sessions with old stars?
There have been old shows, old stars and even current opposition's World Champions hidden away on Fox's Backstage show thanks to the magic of technology meshing well with the difficulty of the current circumstances, but this is not something the organisation has really tried to incorporate on Raw or SmackDown. Because how stupid would it look to have a laptop on a plinth out there, right?
In fact, the very man who got the angriest with the original anonymous GM is back to tie the story together - have the show open with the podium reassembled by the desk and Edge himself bring out a tablet as the updated model to show that he's now got enough grit to accept it.
Each week, the General Manager reveals his or her identity at the top of the show, and we are then gifted various interjections from the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Trish Stratus and - because they always want to use this guy for these bits - Sgt. Slaughter.
Perhaps extend it to Hollywood and have guest hosts. Or scrap that...nobody's nostalgic for that period.
