I don't see why people think that bringing back WCW PPV names would be bad...It wasn't the names that made them bad, it was the matches.
I think WWE should avoid using Starrcade as one of their PPV names because that was WCW's most prestigous PPV of the year in my opinion (some people will say Superbrawl), and it's not a good idea to make it look inferior to Wrestlemania because let's face it, it will.
WCW's PPV's usually always had a different look (except the last year or 2).
