WWE To Bring In Major Attitude Era Stars For Fall Raw Storylines

[Silkk]

WWE is planning on bringing in part time and Attitude Era stars for Raw going forward for the next six months before WrestleMania 29. The purpose of the move is to make sure that the relatively name-value talent roster doesn't get over-exposed and to prevent problems such as the major ratings dip last week when John Cena wasn't on the show.

The company has three particular names that have been tossed around; the first is Undertaker who could make an appearance in the Royal Rumble match. He is already planned to have a WrestleMania match but the Rumble would get him back earlier.

The Rock is also an obvious choice, as he already has a Royal Rumble match against the WWE Champion. There has been internal discussion about bringing him back within the next few weeks to boost the ratings, though it isn't clear if that can happen due to his movie schedule.

Steve Austin is also a possibility, though he would not wrestle for obvious reasons. He could be involved in a TV angle, especially with CM Punk dropping his name in recent promos. The company has been having Punk drop Austin's name to promote WWE '13, but they may decide to use that to bring him for a storyline of some kind.

So after Mania there will be another famine because in the midst of all the Attitude Era guys stealing the show, guys like Cody, Ryder, Kofi etc will come out looking more pathetic and worthless.

This is smart for short term success but if the throwback dudes don't put some of these current guys over this will just cause the E to take an L in the long haul

This. That's the problem with this plan, it's temporary. Unless they give the other guys some rub and/or actually put them over, it's not a solution.

I was wondering why they put together that 3 man Mahal/Slater/Mac job squad. It all makes sense now. 6-man tag match vs.

Austin will cost Punk the strap at WM29, thus causing that one year build up.

On another note, I see Mick Foley doing the 3 faces of Foley hustle for this years rumble.
