Every fad has a chance to make a comeback under the right circumstances, but the most important aspect to reviving what once was is often a true commitment to what was lost.
WWE has had success with classic shirts and classic titles, and mostly through the NXT brand, bringing back classic events like The Great American Bash and Halloween Havoc. After the revived success of WarGames, WWE is going to the nostalgia well once more this Saturday and bringing back its 1980s TV special, Saturday Night’s Main Event. The most recent attempt at reviving the brand in the mid-aughts was done with less than ideal enthusiasm, but with the company's current creative success and demand for more live specials, WWE has a chance to reintroduce a proven staple and have another large event in which to capitalize.
