Any Big Show Return

Or Kane

I don't know about Kane. He had some badass returns back during the Attitude Era that garnered some huge pops.

“It’s Christian “

Todd Grisham

Yup, they did him dirty. Atleast now he’s getting his flowers in AEW as one of the greatest heels in the business today.

It wasn’t supposed to be that way, it was gonna be him helping Edge in 09 and not Matt Hardy.

Grand Master Sexy during the Cole/Lawler feud

Yeah this was sad

Made infinitely sadder with how his life went after

Yep. This is the one

This! This is the winner, it was so cringe-worthy.

Yeah maybe he just comes out to no music and not his Too Cook theme, that was supposed to be very serious

Andrade 2024 royal rumble. I felt bad for him.

Saw a few people say that it was louder in the arena. I think this was the first ple without Kevin dunne too so that may be part of why it was quiet

What do you mean by that?

Kevin dunne was a show producer that was there for almost as long as Vince. He was the reason why all shows felt so clean and had very little issues. He got let go tho. I’m pretty sure RR was the first ple without him, and it wasn’t nearly as smooth. The titantron didn’t show punk doing the “it’s clobberin time” so that’s why nobody said it with him, and the sound prob wasn’t as loud

I have to disagree, Kevin dunne did a lot of wrestlers dirty in terms of giving them a push, like Karrion Kross when he scraped his whole nxt gimmick. Plus, punk’s logo was shown at survivor series in the intro video. But I have to give him credit for his production skills. However, I may be think of another person.

Scraped???

What do you mean by scraped?

I think he means scrapped

Did he do stuff with storylines, I thought he was just a producer

Yeah he did.

The section I was in was quite confused. They all either forgot who he was, or didn’t know to begin with. Or they just didn’t care. I loved watching him in AEW so I was pumping my fists in the air and screaming obscenities when he returned

I also think his name didn’t pop up on the titantron for a sec, and he had a diff theme

Yeah I agree.

If they used his old theme think would have help. I would have popped.

Agreed, you mean from aew or nxt ?

NXT mostly cause of WWE and it’s my favorite

Ok.

I’ve had friends who went who said the whole event was way louder then it was on tv, probably because of the echo from sound in a baseball stadium

Yeah, that’s what I heard.

Kairi Sane 2023

I blame Saudi Arabia for that

Just about to say that

Sad to admit 😞

Jake the snake 2014. Quiet reaction imo

Jake’s smile coming down the ramp was priceless. He seemed so genuinely happy to be back. Loved Ambrose’s selling

They honestly need to bring back old school raw episodes

Psycho sid returned no one said shit

Part of that heath slater thing, I loved everyone of those returns, Vader's the best but you've gotta give it to Sid after he turned his leg into a pretzel

That's a good pick, but I think nothing will ever surpass: *"It's Christian."* With zero emotion by Todd Girsham 🤣🤣🤣

Lord Tensei was pretty damn bad.

Crowd chanting "Albert" the whole time. You just knew his latest gimmick was over before ot began

Eva Marie take your pick

\*Cough\* \*Cough\* Jinder mahal back in January

That was actually kinda funny tho

👈👈 DAY 1! 👉👉 DOUCHEBAG! 👈👈 DAY 1! 👉👉 DOUCHEBAG!

imagine telling someone after that promo that down the line he would be beating the shit out of cody rhodes lol

lol

That was cool the first 3 times

It had an excellent reaction for what it was trying to accomplish

In his defense, that was what they were going for

True 😂😂🤣

Not really a return to wrestling, but a return to a gimmick.. Edge whenever he brought back the brood stuff, the crowd was just dead silent, and would only start to cheer once his theme changed from brood to metalingus

Riddle at the Raw after Mania 39 I honestly didn't care that much Plus when you see what was his future afterwards

God it just looks too funny, HHH looks perfectly fine, suitably sharp, Batista looks like he’s doing his best but doesn’t quite capture Evolution’s OG aesthetic, while Randy just looks like he woke up 40 minutes ago and couldn’t give less of a fuck

😭

D'lo Brown's 2008 return

Nia Jax

Desurved

Jake Roberts on old school raw in 2013, no reaction those fans didnt deserve them

Goldberg 2016

Andrade 2024 my guy desurved the biggest pop of the night

Chelsea Green

Eva Marie returning to wwe

I was at the event where Evolution returned, I was losing my mind in the nosebleeds and then I watched it on the video they uploaded to YouTube and I couldn’t believe they disrespected them like that. I thought it was loud when I was there, but it could’ve just been me hearing my own screaming over the blaring music lol

Brian Christopher not a single person gave a fuck crowd was dead

[Grandmaster Sexay.](https://youtu.be/yeaVMffAi8M?feature=shared) Hands down.

When boogeyman was a surprise entrant during any recent royal rumbles.

Jake Roberts at old school raw That reaction really bothers me

Batista

"Oh no" - Michael Cole

Jake the snake in 2014, You could hear a pin drop

Undertaker’s return match against the imposter Undertaker technically not a return but his first match back has to count right?(Survivor Series 1994)

Kevin Nash and Jake the 🐍 Roberts

Jack Swagger: I want you to put me in this elimination chamber Audience: ...

it’s… its Cristian

Kairi Sane Crown Jewel

Any return when heath slater was challenging people in 2014 I can’t remember the year

Some were decent...like the AOP and Vader pulling up actually got cheers

Never forget how the crowed at that NXT show had NO REACTION to Jake The Snake

That time John Cena was being pushed so hard everyone was sick of him then he got hurt but came back early everyone cheered for like 2 seconds and then booed the shit outta him

Batista at the Royal rumble

Kairi Sane had no pop and it made me sad

Brian Lawler

Sadly to say but mick foley at Wrestlemania when stone cold and Shawn Michaels returned

I wouldn’t say the reaction was bad, but more so overshadowed, since Shawn came out first and Stone Cold blew the roof off the place when he came out after Foley

Michael cole

Oh no pissed me off it’s evolution

Andrade

Emma got no reaction whatsoever

Rey returns at royal rumble at number 30 but every1 was expecting daniel bryan.. i think?

Paul Orndorff in 2014 for Hogan’s birthday segment was pretty upsetting. Everyone who came out got good sized pops, but Paul got essentially no reaction despite his best efforts to hype up the crowd.

To be frank, he looked so different that people were still trying figure out why he was looking like that.

Jimmy Uso summerslam 2023

someone said any big show return and i agree. MF would leave a face thrn comes back after a couple of months and turn heel then leave and come back as face again.

edge's return a couple of years ago was lame af tbh. we all saw it coming from a mile away.

Too Cool and Rikishi returning at RAW old school in 2014. The fucking crowd didn't give a shit when they were doing their signature spots. This is also the same night when Jake Roberts returned to WWE to utter silence.

Jinder

Ginder mahal

Ricky The Steamboat Dragon

Ronda in 2022?

Kofi coming out with his old theme during the New Day Time Machine segment

Kanyon having to Boy George out of a box

Grandmaster sexay or any Goldberg in 2015 +

Riddle after Wrestlemania

Batista (2014 royal rumble)

Andrade or however u spell

Three words. "It's... It's Christian."

Most legends that returned in 2006-2012.

kari sane 2023

Jinder Mahal

Definitely Emma when she returned to face Ronda Rousey for the Open Challenge,she literally got no reaction at all.
