Thus far, Ricky Steamboat and The Rock 'n' Roll Express have been announced on WWE's official website as legends who will be in North Carolina for Starrcade 2017. Those are big stars, but we want more than that. Health allowing, the great 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair has to be in attendance, and there's no reason why Arn Anderson can't join him.

Imagine the pop Flair would get if he came out to cut a tear-filled promo about how much the Greensboro Coliseum meant to his career. Then, picture the emotion as Anderson comes out, holds up the four fingers and reminded Flair that North Carolina was indeed 'Horsemen Country'. The place would go bananas, and rightfully so.

WCW captured this kind of nod to the past with their annual Slamboree event (at least they did during the first few years). WWE must be mindful to do the same in November, because this is a genuine chance to reference a past that's cherished by so many people.
