5 ideas WWE should bring back immediately

The WWE Universe are a vocal bunch, and if they don't like something, they are going to make their voices heard.

If you've scrolled through any wrestling forums, you'll rather quickly get to someone claiming that things were better back in the day, and that the WWE, the biggest promotion in the world, will soon be out of business.

And though this is a rather extreme reaction, it's no secret that WWE's past often had fantastic ideas, which have since become forgotten along the way.

Whilst the company may continue to move forward in terms of huge signings and its women's revolution, they could profit from taking a page from their own history books.

Here are five ideas that WWE should bring back immediately.

#5 Story specific gimmick matches

With its own Pay Per View, the Hell in a Cell is rarely used due to stories.

In 1997, the war between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had reached a boiling point.

HBK clearly feared the Deadman, and would often run, or be helped by DX, though that all ended when the pair were locked inside the Hell in a Cell structure.

And though the structure served a purpose in that contest, nowadays it is used simply because it is that time of the year.

This is not just a problem specific to the Cell, as plenty of pay per views such as TLC and Elimination Chamber now restrict the use of stipulation matches for the other eleven months of the year.

What makes this worse is that WWE does sometimes use the Hell in a Cell outside of the pay per view, such as at WrestleMania 28 and 32, and these matches are often seen as better than their October counterparts.

#4 Halloween Havoc

Many fans hope to see WCW October staple as part of the WWE schedule.

This isn't a huge deal, but if you've been on the internet long enough, you'll eventually find wrestling fans clamouring for the return of WCW's Halloween Havoc event.

Taking place, unsurprisingly in October, Halloween Havoc remains one of the most fun pay per views of all time, due to its spooky design, complete with Pumpkin at the entrance ramp.

Even if the company didn't want to bring it back as a pay per view, having Halloween Havoc as a Network exclusive would be a very viable option.

Having the Superstars dress in costumes would definitely be a fun sight, as we'd finally get to see Seth 'Zombie' Rollins take on Chad 'the Fable' Gable.

WWE has brought back WCW's Starrcade name in recent years, so it's not too farfetched to believe this is possible.

#3 Unscripted promos

Punk's unscripted Pipebomb promo made him one of WWE's most popular Superstars.

Promos in WWE feel like they are churned out by a dozen writers before the show, with very little difference between them.

But not that long ago, things weren't always like this.

Back in the day, promos were much more organic, as Superstars were able to improvise, with one of the most iconic examples being CM Punk's Pipebomb on the June 27, 2011 edition of RAW.

"I grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon's imaginary Brass rings that it finally dawned on me that they're just that. Completely imaginary."

The promo sent shockwaves around WWE, as the Second City Savior was allowed to say how he felt, without being told how he felt.

Though he may be gone from WWE now, the company could certainly learn a lesson about promos from the best in the world.

#2 Meaningful mid-card title reigns

Lashley has hot-potatoed the Intercontinental title with Finn Balor recently.

I'm not saying that WWE should bring back titles (Lord knows we have enough already!), but sometimes, title reigns just seem to mean very little.

For example, when writing this, I wondered about who is the reigning Intercontinental Champion for much longer than I should have, before remembering it was Lashley.

It does seem that few Superstars have been able to elevate themselves with a mid-card title, something that was practically a staple in years gone by.

Imagine if Bret Hart had been left feuding for the IC title forever. Fortunately, that didn't happen as the title reign meant so much more back then.

Hopefully, United States Champion Samoa Joe will be able to move up the card once he drops the star-spangled strap, as many fans still hope to see him as WWE Champion.

#1 The King of the Ring

The tournament has launched many careers.

The King of the Ring tournament was arguably the Money in the Bank of its day

If you won the prestigious event, everyone took you seriously, with stars like Bret 'Hitman' Hart, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar and Booker T all going on to capture World Championship gold after being crowned King.

But in its last few iterations, the tournament was practically a death sentence, as stars like William Regal, Sheamus and the most recent king Wade Barrett all suffering post-coronation.

If the WWE was to bring the tournament back, it'd definitely have to mean something.

Put the crown on a Superstar who is going somewhere, rather than someone who you think it'll look funny to see in a literal crown.

And with the Women's Revolution constantly moving ahead, why not a Queen of the Ring down the line?
