10 More Ways WWE Could Mine Nostalgia During The Empty Arena Era
5. REALLY Old School
Perhaps best saved for 205 Live rather than Raw and SmackDown this, but trade the purple for black and white or sepia, let those poor Performance Center trainees go the f*ck home, and give the ring to Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak.
Picture that split second clip that appeared on WWE's opening video for years ("yes sir we promised you a great main event this evening") or the headlock gifs that occasionally appear on the oldest Wrestling Twitter account you follow, but imagine it brought marginally up to date by two of the best on the company's roster.
Get the referee in some sort of mad old-timey gear, the wrestlers themselves in trunks so high they could tuck their nipples in, and add some damaged filters to the picture every once in while. Not that it'd be botchy, but use those wrinkles and cuts to erase anything you don't like. One camera, no cuts, and shock and awe from the commentators when one of them dares to scale the second rope.
At best, it's a total popper, meme factory and memory maker. At worst, it's 30 minutes nobody watches anyway, much like the regular 205 Live.
