Wrestling Nostalgia Takes Center Stage
Last night, the WWE brought back a blast from the past with the revival of “Saturday Night’s Main Event” on NBC. The nostalgic vibes were palpable throughout the entire show, as the WWE went all out to recreate the classic feel of their old school productions.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Gone were the flashy LED lights, replaced by the iconic red, white, and blue ropes and metal barricades that fans of yesteryear grew up with. Even the referees got in on the act, donning bowties reminiscent of a bygone era. And in a move that sent fans into a frenzy, Jesse Ventura returned to commentary and the desk, playing the heel to perfection.
The Main Event: A Throwback to Remember
But the pièce de résistance was yet to come. After years of lobbying, Cody Rhodes finally got his wish, and the WWE brought back the beloved “Winged Eagle” championship from the 1990s. This iconic title design has a special place in the hearts of many wrestling fans, and its return was met with widespread excitement.
A Championship Design Like No Other
For many, the Winged Eagle championship is the gold standard of title designs. It’s the title that Ultimate Warrior took from Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI, that Bret Hart won from Yokozuna at WrestleMania X, and that made a young boy’s dream come true at WrestleMania XII. Its prestige and history are unmatched, and many fans – including some wrestlers – wish it would become the permanent design.
A Call to Action: Bring Back the Classics
While the current title design is an improvement over the spinner belt, it can’t hold a candle to the Winged Eagle’s majesty. If Saturday Night’s Main Event is going to continue as a throwback tribute, then why not bring out the old championships to match? It would add an extra layer of authenticity to the show and give fans even more to cheer about.
A Plea for Kevin Owens
And finally, a special mention goes to Kevin Owens, who stole the show with his antics after the main event went off the air. This man deserves a world title run, and soon!
