Pro-wrestling legend discloses why WWE brings back veterans like John Cena and Edge (Exclusive)
WWE recently brought a number of veteran superstars back to the roster. This includes the likes of Hall of Famer Goldberg and Edge, as well as 16-time world champion John Cena.
This has piqued the interests of both fans and critics alike. Some of them are all for the return of these veteran superstars, whereas others believe that this shows WWE's refusal to promote new talent.
Nevertheless, there can be no denying that bringing back stars like Goldberg, Edge and John Cena are what brings in mainstream viewers.
Pro-wrestling legend Dutch Mantell recently appeared on Smack Talk with Sid Pullar III and disclosed the real reason why WWE brings back veterans, and it's simply because they do not have to spend time on helping the superstar "get over".
"People say, 'Why do they go and get these veterans and bring them back?'. That's exactly why! because mo 'get over' time. They're already over, you just bring them back and you can do a nostalgia tour at anytime. You can see there's a lot of thought that went into this show, because Vince has been sitting in that 'ivory tower' for months thinking about how to do it...and he knows how to do it!" said Dutch Mantell
Dutch Mantell does make a point when he says that superstars like Edge, Goldberg and John Cena do not require any help getting over. It's no wonder WWE chooses to bring back veterans.
