3. Calling All Icons
As has been touched on numerous times throughout this piece, World Wrestling Entertainment is expecting WrestleMania 32 to be among the biggest events it has ever produced. They never would have booked the enormous AT&T stadium in Dallas if they did not expect to fill it with rabid fans from all over the globe. To do so, WWE will have to go all-out by recruiting stars such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels to partake in the festivities. It will be imperative that WWE convince its fan base to make the trek to the Lone Star state for the show. They can do this by promoting those stars to participate in numerous angles or roles, without any of them (barring The Rock) competing in an actual match. Loading the show with big names and Hall of Famers not only enhances the strength of the card, it also attracts the casual audience, not to mention celebrities. WWE loves to tout the famous members of its fan base, thanks to awareness of the public that their appearances brings. That alone strengthens the argument in favor of bringing back some of the greatest stars in event history to partake in the 2016 show.
