10 Things That Prove 2017 Is WWE's Weirdest Year Ever

Fans have been calling for WWE to bring back WarGames since they acquired the rights to all things WCW back in 2001, but the more time that passed, the less likely it seemed it would ever happen.

After all - though Vince McMahon is clearly the business expert here - wouldn't it have made more commercial sense to market WCW nostalgia to the generation of fans who lived through the Monday Night Wars, rather than the one that only knows it through the odd clip?

Now is not the time to quibble over the details though. The point is WWE Starrcade is now a thing, and that's a sight many people never thought they'd see - even with the Network-driven trend over recent years to finally begin embracing the contributions of rival wrestling promotions.

Between this and the return (and subsequent mega-push) of Goldberg, 2017 has been the year in which WWE acknowledged Ted Turner's 1990s plaything wasn't so bad after all. The only thing missing is a third brand called Nitro - but we still have two months left for that.
