Ever since WWE brought back the Great American Bash, has anyone wished they'd bring back another classic WCW PPV?

Even though I would LOVE Halloween Havoc for the plethora of Wrestlecrap I would get to enjoy, I had to vote for WW3, because it's simply awesomeness.

None of the above, give me KOTR and go back to 5 and I would more likely give Vince more money

I'd love to see The Survivor Series go back to the way it was originally designed.
Groups of four taking on groups of four.
That was fun to watch.
Any PPV's with gimmicks are much better, and for the love of Pete, ALWAYS COMBINE THE BRANDS.

I guess I vote for "other." My vote would go to Wrestle War for the Wargames element. It is doubtful WWE could ever replace what we've seen in the wargames' past, but 4 on 4 feuds with main eventers and upper midcarders makes viewers very interested and it gives you several options--especially on a "split brand" company--to invade and build to the feud. Not to mention that the undercard would actually be allowed to be showcased since you have 8 of your normal "showhogs" all in one match. And I'm guessing Fall Brawl is part of the Wargames legacy, but I remember Wrestle War in February, so call me a sucker for nostalgia. No BattleBowl? Or was that not a PPV? Battlebowl and The Lethal Lottery was part of Starrcade, and my absolute favorite wrestling card format of all time. Given that fact, it seems that I would vote for Starrcade to be brought back, but the legacy of great Starrcade events makes me feel exactly the opposite, since WWE and Vince could even find a way to screw up a wet dream. Also, The Lethal Lottery aspect was very special in a day when winning and losing meant something and especially saddled with the fact that champions and their titles meant everything. (An example would be Terry Taylor of mid-card purgatory out-wrestling Lex Luger for a significant portion of such a match, and Jim Ross's play-by-play absolutely putting Taylor over and in the process increasing the image and honor of being Lex Luger:"World Champion.") There are many other points as to how screwy it would be in today's WWE, but I guess my final point to why it should stay dead is because tag team wrestling doesn't mean jack dung in WWE, and the psychology and tact of tag team wrestling was ALWAYS pushed in NWA/WCW and therefore made these blind-draw matches all the more alluring. Put a bunch of WWE's past stars from '94 to present in a hat and draw out five sets of tag teams at random, then look at WWE's list of tag team champions during those years and three of the five teams you randomly pulled are probably on the list. (I know that's exaggerated, but the point is that tag wrestling is deader than vaudeville.)

I'd mark for Starrcade, but I'd kill for a return of a Clash of the Champions.

Battlebowl was a PPV in November of 1993 with Vader winning. I don't really know what to choose so, I would love Fall Brawl or Starrcade to come back.

Wargames in HELL-IN A CELL!!! Or World War 3 for the 2-ring, 60-man battle royal. Or, the World War 3 battle royal inside the War Games cage inside the HELL IN A CELL. Throw in some tables and your standard 15-foot high old-school blue bar steel cage, and you have the greatest and most confusing gimmick match of all.

Halloween Havoc, I was always a huge mark for the horror-themed setting of the arena.

Starrcade in Dec would be awesome. They should hold war games here evey year. The granddaddy of them all.
