8 Reasons WWE Needs To Bring Back Custom PPV Stages

3. Paying Homage To Heritage

Sure, Wrestlemania still gets whopping great gantries, super-sized screens, and ramps so long that Cena needs a Montain Dew break halfway down, but it's hardly the only annual event worthy of distinction. On a calendar packed with tenuously-themed PPVs, now more than ever WWE needs to celebrate its contingent of age-old events and use them to carry the baton of brilliant brawling. How best to do that? Return to custom set designs. SummerSlam is owed more than the same old stage. The Rumble needs something radical. Survivor Series means so much more than six-man matches and month-long promos. If 'Mania warrants such whopping stadium set-pieces, why don't the old guard deserve awesome arena get-ups? Even if it was only the big four that got the bespoke background boost, it would be better for the Company than working historic events into the never-changing monthly cycle of same-old screens.
