USA wants old stars to fix 'Raw' ratings

USA became the most-watched cable network in the late 1990s because of ''Monday Night Raw.'' Almost a decade later, USA is looking for more attitude from WWE and even has offered a story line to the writing team.

Word is USA has told WWE it wants retired stars Chris Jericho and ''Stone Cold'' Steve Austin back on the show because it wants ratings. Wrestlers such as Jericho and Austin were who made fans watch ''Raw'' from start to finish in fear of missing a great moment. ''Raw'' lately has become a 15-minute fast-forward-athon with results that have become predictable, and ratings that have become predictably bad for USA.
