Returns that can Happen and How it Can effect the Current WWE

[BOSS Productions]

OK my previous thread has inspired me to do this on the main WrestleZone website there have been many rumored returns but I would like to know which superstars you think will return and how it will effect the current WWE and be real we all know The Rock,Bill Goldberg and Bret Hart will not be coming back soon so list who you think will come back and what part they will play in WWE.

My Choices are :

RVD-He has made two appearances in WWE after his departure and he received a massive pop I also heard WWE would love to sign him so he is an obvious choice.How he will fit in with the current WWE he will be the face of ECW once again and have a feud with Christian. I think Christian is better a Heel so this is how RVD will fit in WWE.

Steve Austin- No matter how many times JR and WWE have said he is retired he always makes an appearance. I think Austin will return at least twice once as a guest host and the second time a special guest referee at WWE Bragging Rights.He will be a Face and give Randy a stunner in both his appearances.

Scotty 2 Hotty- I think he should go to ECW and help build a small tag team division in ECW.He would not effect WWE that much but will help put over talent.

and now Finally the biggest of them all

Kurt Angle- he bashed WWE and said he loved working in TNA , however after his incident I think TNA will have to release him or suspend him in the interest of fairness and Kurt with his huge EGO will get pissed and quit and will most likely return to WWE or start his acting career. I will go with option 1 lets say he is returning to WWE he should go to RAW but will most likely go to Smackdown as he left on bad terms and he will most likely be a Undertaker style Main Eventer and will most likely never win a WHC Title but only there to make the other talent look good.He will effect the Smackdown brand that is for sure by either having amazing feud with Punk and Hardy or help Morrison and The Hart Dynasty move up.Now Post the returns you are expecting to see.

I WAS NOT SURE IF THIS GOES IN THE BOOK THIS ! SECTION BECAUSE THIS IS HOW THESE SUPERSTARS WILL EFFECT THE CURRENT WWE SO I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT SECTION

 

[unique.enigma.666]

It sounds good, RVD however might not do considering, well at least from the last I heard of it, his wife is still suffering from some form of cancer, if hes with WWE he'll be off the road more than ever and wont be able to take care of her. Stone Cold, without a doubt he'll return, he always does, and his guest referee appearances have happened 2 years running now, him being a special host would be immense. Scotty 2 Hotty, was a fan of the guy and would be cool if they put him on ECW to help the younger talent, Hurricane is there as is Regal and Dreamer, helping the younger talent like Yoshi, Tyler and Sheamus etc. would be great. Kurt, after his recent arrest I doubt it, great wrestler but with a terrible problem that I don't think WWE would be able to put the faith in him.

 

[HBK-aholic]

I'm hoping Angle will return because I used to really like him, and my favourite match ever is a match he won. It could happen, but I'm not holding my breath. Whenever it seems likely to happen something comes up to make it seem less likely - his arrest lately could work against him. If he was to return I'm not sure whether he'd be in the Main Event, or a champion. His TNA schedule is good for him because it allowed flexibility with times and he didn't have to work as hard as he did in the WWE - I'm not sure whether he'd want to go back to that.

Austin will never happen, at least not as a wrestler. His body isn't in good enough shape to allow him to be in the ring. I think people need to try and move on from Austin now if I'm honest.

 

[K3NK0NG888]

My choices are...

-The Rock: He is still active and young. He has some time left and is still one of the biggest names in WWE, and The World. Without a doubt, he will draw alot. I mean how many fans stopped watching WWE when he retired. He would be better at raw, to bring back the main event status Raw once had.

-Goldberg: He would be at Undertaker/HBK's levels. Goldberg, one of the biggest names in the WWE and the world as well, will draw more old school fans. Somehow, I see him dominating Smackdown!, feuding with Undertaker, Kane, or Khali. On the other hand I see him on Raw hyping it up, feuding with Cena, Batista, Randy, HBK, Big Show, or whoever else is there. Who wouldn't want to see Khali get speared like a little girl?

-Booker T: I've always liked him in the mid-card scene. King Booker totally destroyed his career. His tag team matches with Eddie were the reason I used to look forward to Smackdown. Also, he isn't too old and could very well end up in the Main Event scene, without that stupid King Booker gimmick. Even though he could be a main eventer, I see him at the higher tier between mid-card and main event. The same tier with Kane, Show, Jericho, Mysterio...

As for Kurt Angle, I never want to see him on WWE again. Angle is just... crap now. Too controversial (I mean controversial in the Wrestling business), ruined his career (Getting his ass kicked by an old redneck Jeff Jarrett), and I just don't like him now...

 

[Compton]

Kurt Angle has too much of an ego and has often proclaimed his love for TNA and how he is still pissed at WWE. He is an amazing wrestler and hopefully he will lose the TNA Championship tonight at Hard Justice as punishment for his arrest because you can't overlook something like that.

RVD will probably be back in a year or so and I'd like to see him re-debut on Smackdown and ut him up against John Morrison or Jeff Hardy. I know Jeff Hardy was done years ago but it could really create something. But with his wife battling cancer he'll only be making special appearances.

Austin in my opinion won't return. He wants to focus on his acting career so with that kind of schedule it would be hard for him to make a return.

Scotty 2 Hotty would be fun to see return as he could help the younger guys on ECW as I think they need it because they can't rely on Dreamer, Regal, Goldust and Christian because Goldust's tenure with WWE in recent has been short, Regal is constantly moving show, Christian is just too good to be on ECW in my opinion but can still help the younger guys and Dreamer is just back to where he started and that's being a jobber.

But people I would like to see return are:

Marcus Cor Von (Monty Brown). I really enjoyed watching him in TNA and WWE and I think if WWE utilize him in the right way he could make a real impact.

The Dudley Boyz, because WWE is in need of a decent tag-team because they have Cryme Tyme, Legacy, The Hart Dynasty and Big Show and Jericho. 4 teams in all of the WWE is not enough as I remember the days when there was lots of team contesting for the title. But with Bubba Ray (Brother Ray) not exactly well liked in WWE backstage that might just be a pipe dream.

Bobby Lashley. I want him to return because when he was getting ushed hard in WWE when he debuted and after he was traded to Raw I was praying he would win the title sooooo much. But with him being an MMA fighter, TNA is the better place for him because of his workout schedule etc.

 

[The Notorious Big.Pad.Dee]

RVD - I hope he comes back one day. If Hardy leaves, then Van Dam could take the main event spot on Smackdown with ease. He's obviously still in shape due to his appearences over the last few years, but whether he'd want to return or not, I don't know. It doesn't seem like WWE are despesrate to bring him back, and it doesn't look like RVD is desperate to come back. But I could see them getting a few good years out of him if they tried.

Austin - He may stay away for a few years, but I don't think we've seen the last of Stone Cold on Raw yet, even if he's unable to wrestle. The man can still provide a quick ratings boost in an enforcer role or referee, but should stay inactive for his own safety. Personally, I want Austin to protect his legacy and stay away from the ring, as I don't think he can leave us with any more memories like he used to be able too.

Scotty 2 Hotty - Could return, as a jobber, nothing more. If he couldn't get past that status before, he's not going to start now.

Angle - Kurt seems like a troubled man, and going on the road with WWE again ain't gonna help him whatsoever. But from a selfish point of view, i'd love to see him return. almost every Main event standard match he had was incredible, and the WWE has changed a lot since he left. Angle's yet to have a feud with Punk, and guys like Edge and Orton have changed a lot since Angle left. Not to mention more matches with HHH, Taker and HBK would be welcome too.

As for who I think will return...

Umaga - The man was only fired because they had no choice once he refused rehab, and after they invested as much time in him as they did, WWE probably aren't gonna let a little thing like Drug Dependency get in their way. If Masters can return, then Umaga should have no trouble. I think within a year, he'll be back kicking ass again.

 

[EnglishControlWwe]

This is a crazy idea that includes returns. I want to see what you think:

SummerSlam-Chris Jericho & The Big Show retain the tag titles in controversial fashion. Either by countout, disqualification or an illegal pin/submission. This can push Cryme Tyme as a serious team.
-DX def. Legacy but only just. This pushes Legacy but gives DX their return push if thats the right word.
-The Great Khali def. Kane and destroys him after the match.
-CM Punk wins the World Heavyweight Championship from Jeff Hardy. I don't know how, could be interference ect.
-John Cena vs. Randy Orton, doesn't matter who wins

Breaking Point (All matches are submission matches even if not correct)
-Chris Jericho & The Big Show vs. Cryme Tyme for the Unified Tag Team Championship: Jericho & Big Show retain fairly.
-DX vs. The Hart Dynasty: The same as Legacy, DX give the Dynasty a push and barely pull out a win
-The Undertaker vs. The Great Khali: Undertaker comes back on SmackDown telling Khali that he will pay for what he did to Kane and that he is standing in the way for what Undertaker wants to achieve. Taker comes back like a heel but it is Khali that displays the heel tactics such as attacking his "brother" Ranjin Sighn. Taker def. Khali, afterwards Kane returns and they deliver a double chokeslam to Khali reuniting the Brothers of Destruction. They then say that they want the Unified Tag Team Titles at the next PPV inside the devils playground, Hell in a Cell
-The Hardy's vs. Legacy: Matt & Jeff win with Jeff acting like he is still suffering from the TLC match. The Hardy's push Legacy.
-Randy Orton vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship: Rematch of SummerSlam. Doesn't matter who wins.
-CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against John Morrison

Hell in a Cell (All matches are inside the Hell in the Cell even if not correct)
-Chris Jericho & The Big Show vs. The Brothers of Destruction for the Unified Tag Team Championship: Jericho and Big Show retain after the Masked Imposter Kane returns (with Festus playing him again) with The Great Khali & Paul Bearer and rip off the Cell door like when Kane first debuted and attack the Brothers of Destruction.
-Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase vs. John Cena & DX for the WWE Championship: Who ever makes the pinfall is the champion. I have no more storylines for them after Hell in a Cell.
-The Hart Foundation vs. The Hardy's & a mystery female tag team partner in a 6 person intergender tag team match: The Hardy's say that their tag team partner is making her debut and you haven't seen her compete. At the event Jeff says that the TLC match made him forget and she is actually making her re-debut and you haven't seen her compete since Survivor Series 2006. Lita returns and Team Xtreme pick up the win pushing the Dynasty once again.

Bragging Rights (Interactive PPV even if not correct)
-Chris Jericho & The Big Show vs. The Hardy's or (DX or Legacy) or (Cryme Tyme or The Hart Dynasty) for the Unified Tag Team Championship: Don't know who, I will just tell you the storylines after Bragging Rights
-Michelle McCool vs. Melina or Natalya or Lita for the Women's Championship: Lita wins the title.
-The Great Kane (Masked, Imposter Kane) & The Great Khali w/ Paul Bearer vs. The Brothers of Destruction in some kind of match: Don't know who, I will just tell you the storylines after Bragging Rights

Storylines after Bragging Rights-Lita is involved in a Divas Survivor Series Match and then feuds with Divas she's never faced. Around No Way Out, Melina turns heel and wins the women's championship. At Wrestlemania. Lita wins the women's championship in a retirement match like Trish Stratus. After Wrestlemania, Michelle destroys everyone before after a couple of weeks, Melina makes the save thus turning her face again. At Backlash, a six-pack challenge for the vacant Women's Championship: Melina vs. Eve vs. Maria vs. Layla vs. Natalya vs. Michelle McCool
-At some point, Team Xtreme holds both the Women's and Tag Team Championship's. They have a long feud with Chris Jericho & The Big Show and at Wrestlemania have a TLC for the Unified Tag Team Championship after Edge returns as a face: (Doesn't matter who's champion) Chris Jericho & The Big Show vs. Edge & Christian (faces) vs. The Hardy's in a Triple Threat TLC match for the Unified Tag Team Championship. Possibly an Edge and Christian win to help push Christian to the SmackDown main event and a feud with Chris Jericho & The Big Show. This is also Jeff Hardy's last match in the company for now and Matt takes his spot in the main event.
-The storyline for the Brothers of Destruction is this although they could possibly have a tag title reign. Paul Bearer reveals that Festus is the Great Kane and that he used to be a crew member for the WWE and the masked magician (My Network TV association). He says that inside the concrete was a secret breathing tube and the concrete was not proper concrete and it was an illusion. It was an illusion much like the ones Undertaker uses. He reveals that he helped Festus train and he was the one behind the imposter Kane the first time. He knew Festus as a child when he used to know Kane in his childhood (the storyline in 2007 with Kane knowing who it was) However, Kane tormented Festus leading to his state were he awakes when the bell rings. He says that he then took him back to his home were he was looked after by his former best friend Jesse. He says he carried the urn to scare The Undertaker but it really controls a bell inside The Great Kane's mask to awaken him when necessary. I haven't yet thought of how the feud ends but it can lead to Paul Bearer being released from his contract, I don't know about Festus but Khali could disappear finally returning saving a face from a heel beatdown. Kane could also turn heel again quite easily.

These are just crazy ideas but I'd like to know what you think about them.

 

[Super Crazy]

I know everyone would want this to happen. I would love, for The Rock to return. I believe if he were to return everyone would MTFO over it. He was and always will be one of the best in the business. He is the most charismatic and entertaining person I've ever seen. I loved every promo he ever had and I truly miss him being involved with wrestling.

Here's how I would book it. Let's say after Wrestlemania 26, John Cena's heel turn begins. He comes out on Raw or Smackdown, whichever show he may be on at the time. He begins to brag about how he thought all the fans were his soldiers and how they had backed him up. But after being booed constantly over the last two years at random venues he feels they've turned their back on him. Suddenly a video comes on the screen and all you hear is a bit of one of the classic lines " the millions and millions..." as you see a Bull on the screen and Jericho is like what the hell is this?? Am I supposed to be threatened by this. I don't care about that, I don't care about any of you. The next week, he comes out and he runs his mouth again, and the same thing happens again except you hear "...jabroni beatin, pie eatin...." and John is just like " Ok, Rock, if you're gonna come out here, get out here already so I can kick your ass , hell, you're probably too old anyway " , The next week, John Cena is out in the ring again, and you hear " .....the most electrifying man in sports entertainment history....." and the screen says " IS HERE " as the Rock's music blairs over the arena and the crowd is on their feet as he comes out to the loudest pop of the night. Anyway, so the Rock grabs the mic, and says " FINALLLY, THE ROCK, HAS COME BACK, TO THE WWE!! " John tries to interrupt him and the Rock goes " Who in the blue hell are you?? " John tries to say his name " It doesn't matter who you are , the Rock says this. You jabroni, you are a prime example of why The Rock left, but now he's back. He's back and he's ready for a fight. " He starts making his way to the ring and says " You claim to have beaten everyone ? Well, you've never beaten.....me. " , as the Rock and John Cena have a stare off nose to nose and start to brawl, John gets the Rock up for the Attitude Adjustment but The Rock gets out of it and hits the Rock bottom. He stands on the turn buckle and does his usual fist in the air as the crowd is loving every minute of this.

This would of course lead to the Cena vs The Rock at Backlash and everyone could have the return and the feud that they would love to see.

 

[Crush1]

The only guy that has a realistic chance of returning is Angle. And he's the most worth it.I hope that the scandals with his wife and harassment of Rhaka Khan will land him either fired or him changing his mind and jumping ship. Although I think that it's highly unlikely that Angle will return, I can hope right? When he returns shit would be epic. I mean the guy is Kurt freaking Angle, his name only is a proven draw for everything the WWE needs right now. He could also take a light schedule like HBK. And help get younger guys over. But I dont think that he'll ever return.

 

[Motor City Mayhem]

Just a quick note SuperCrazy...If The Rock decided to come back for a feud with Cena, the match would be at Wrestlemania. Not at Backlash, it would be the biggest Match in the WWE in recent memory so why would Vince put it on Backlash?

Anyway here are my two picks:

Rob Van Dam: Its going to happen, I know it, Rob knows it, Vince knows it, EVERY ONE KNOWS IT.
( But Only When His Wife Is Better, Get Better Sonya!)

Storyline: So the storyline would be RVD going to ECW(Obviously) saying its not extreme and that he will bring it back, then the current Champ (Regal) comes out and says that this is his Kingdom and that RVD cant just walk back in here and say its his, thus leading to a match at any PPV in an Extreme Rules Match were RVD wins.

And

Kurt Angle: Yes I said it, Kurt Angle, In My Opinion it will happen, he wont be able to stay away from WWE, it will happen, I give it 1-3 years at most.

Storyline: He comes back on Smackdown! as a Face, saying hes happy to be back and that he wants the World Heavyweight Title, The Champion (Plug In Heel Here) comes out saying that Angle is a old crappy has-been in the WWE and makes a reference to his days in TNA, this leads to Angle getting angry, and thus, you guessed it, a match, at first he doesn't win, but then he wins Royal Rumble and goes to 'Mania were he wins the Worlds Title. He keeps it fore 3 months and then loses it to an Up and Comer, Jack Swagger, bringing Swaggers push to its Climax, he then works with the younger talent for a bit putting them over before finally retiring.

 

["Cool Guy" Jensen]

I really don't know the likelihood of any of those people ever returning to the WWE, but I guess it's okay to dream. First, I will explain my opinion on how your people listed will effect the WWE, and then I'll add a few of my own.

Rob Van Dam: He was the first person I thought of when I read the title. As for if he returns, I would prefer to see him return as a member of the Smackdown brand. I originally wanted Chris Masters to return on the Smackdown brand, RVD on Raw, but since Masters is back on Raw, I'd put RVD on Smackdown. If Jeff Hardy leaves after Summerslam, that will leave C.M. Punk as the only main eventer. I hear that Kane and The Undertaker don't want the title. I'm not sure if WWE will give Matt Hardy or John Morrison the title. I don't think Rey Mysterio will win the title anytime soon. Chris Jericho is in a tag team... not many options! That's wear RVD comes in. He would make a great choice to be World Champion. He can have a great match with nearly anybody.

Steve Austin: For being a retired superstar, he does make a lot of appearances. With Bragging Rights coming soon, we might see him return as a special guest referee for the 900th time. As for in-ring competition, I would still LOVE to see him face Hulk Hogan. But unfortunately, both of them don't see the point of having that match. As for current superstars, a match against Randy Orton would work wonders for me.

Scotty 2 Hotty: To be honest, I'm surprised he even made the list. Him returning to WWE will not help them very much. Lots of people may forget who he is. Since Rikishi left the WWE, Scotty hasn't done much. But if he did return, I'd put him on ECW, taking the role that Goldust has.

Kurt Angle: With Angle having badmouthing WWE ever since he left, and if TNA doesn't renew his contract... I have a feeling if Angle wants to continue wrestling at one of the top two promotions, he'd have to retire altogether. But, if he did return to WWE, he should be put on Raw. If he's used as a main eventer, seeing him fued again with Cena, Orton, HHH, and HBK, and Batista for the first time would be great.


My Own Returns...

Kid Kash: I hear he was great on the original ECW, winning the TV Championship. And I was very impressed with what I saw from him when he formed The Pitbulls with Jamie Noble. He's a very solid and talented wrestler, and he'd do great on ECW. His MMA career doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Kevin Thorn: I despised his "Mordecia" gimmick, but him as Kevin Thorn... I took a liking to. Although it probably has something to do with Ariel being so hot, but Thorn was pretty good in the ring and could been a serious threat to the Intercontinental Championship on Smackdown.

Mr. Kennedy: I think it's really a no-brainer.

Tajiri: Great wrestler, very talented. Had charisma when he needed it. Can put on one hell of a performance. Him on Smackdown or ECW could help either brands and WWE as a whole.

 

[Milkyway!]

I'm hoping Angle will return

Angle will never return to the WWE. Hes destroyed too many bridges, and it doesn't look like he even wants to cross over himself.

It could happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'd hate for you to die

If he was to return I'm not sure whether he'd be in the Main Event, or a champion.

If Kurt Angle were to return, and wasn't in the Main Event, then he would walk right back out. Champion is hard to say, I would say he'd be working a relaxed schedule, like Shawn and The Undertaker do. But, its really hard to have a champion do that, because they really do need to work every house show they possibly can.

His TNA schedule is good for him because it allowed flexibility with times and he didn't have to work as hard as he did in the WWE

Yet its been known hes been working himself to death, and taking illigal supplements again. This won't help his chances of even getting into the WWE, let alone just trying to rebuild the bridges.

Austin will never happen, at least not as a wrestler. His body isn't in good enough shape to allow him to be in the ring.

Then it will never happen, becuase Austin has said time and time again, he doesn't want to be some sideshow. If he can't go 100%, then he won't go at all.

I think people need to try and move on from Austin now if I'm honest.

Too true becca, too true. Austin will never return to the wrestling business, again.

 

[thebigbadfox]

The Rock will never return maybe a slim maybe Dwayne JOhnson returns as a guest host if he has a movie coming up to promote but even that is doubtfufl... all those saying it could happen are just wasting time and dreams on something that wont happen... hell he doesnt even refer to himself as it not even as dwayne "the rock" johnson... so get over it

 

[Phoenix]

I think Austin's return has now past, Wrestlemania 25 was definitely his bow out, how many people had that feeling that was his big farewell? I certainly feel that there, I think Austin is now gone now unfortunately, he's done his service, let him do what he wants.

As for Angle, I think this arrest has destroyed his likely chance of returning, unless he goes to rehab first and sorts himself, then he's not coming back, if TNA release him, he's got nothing going except ROH and the independents, don't think UFC or any MMA promotion would touch him neither. Too much of a liability.

My choices:
RVD: This is the one guy who's gone away, come back, gone away, come back and the fans still pop the hell out of him, he is over and will always will be. His wife is clear from cancer, he can always come back, I doubt him going TNA, but expect him to show up again soon. Firstly on ECW and possibly on Smackdown next. I think he's the big one that will make effect on the the WWE the most with the World Title picture and adding more to ECW again, despite it being quite a talented roster.

AJ Styles: Despite him being a TNA loyalist, I think WWE would want to chase after him as he's possibly the only person outside of Matt Morgan and Daniels, they could sign, especially with him being a former employee. Again, if this did happen, I'd expect him to go on Smackdown, feels the best fitted to him and he could have great feuds with Morrison & Punk. Midcard to World range. Remember he was in WWE before TNA.

Raven: For some reason, I could see him returning, he's one guy that was completely mis-used, but I think he could get a chance to shine. He has excellent mike skills and is a guy who will put people over, he's definitely one for ECW and working with the new talent. He would certainly make some great feuds like his ROH one with Punk. If not, I could see him as a reason to bring back Hardcore matches if they start going away from the PG rating. I'd put him down as a good, but unlikely choice.

Paul London: I think despite how he was let go, he would be a great chance to see some great fast paced matches, an ECW or Smackdown wrestler is a good likelihood, if they fix up Brian Kendrick, bring them both together and help out the tag team division while they're at it. Not likely now, but at a later point!

 

[XgringolocoX]

I really don't see any single wrestler's supposed, or wouldn't-b-great-if-he'd-just return affecting the product too greatly. Maybe The Rock would if he, and he ain't, returns. The answer to this problem is NEW. Every slump was resurrected by a new star, a new gimmick, a new something.
If RVD returned with something new n fresh i could see it. ...maybe if Punk started a Straight Edge faction then RVD could make a saving return to lead the We Don't Inhale *cough cough* Faction.....just maybe....

 

[Milkyway!]

My choices are...

-The Rock: He is still active and young.

The Rock is chasing his goal to become an actor, honestly man. You can't critisize a man for chasing his dreams. The Rock will more than likely never step inside the ring again.

He has some time left and is still one of the biggest names in WWE, and The World. Without a doubt, he will draw alot. I mean how many fans stopped watching WWE when he retired.

Not too many. The Rock retired in 2004. As you can see by ratings, nothing drastically changed.

He would be better at raw, to bring back the main event status Raw once had.

Once had? The Rock still would be a main eventor to this day, if he stepped back into the ring.

-Goldberg: He would be at Undertaker/HBK's levels.

No. Just no. The man hasn't ever had a single good match. Hes like a poormans John Cena. You are relating him to Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels? Are you on meth? OR do I just need to call the doctors now?

Goldberg, one of the biggest names in the WWE and the world as well,

I suppose I do need to call the doctors. THE WORLD? Hell fire man, I didn't even know who Goldburg was when my dad and I watched wrestling regularly, for years as a child..Now you're just spouting bullshit.

will draw more old school fans.

No, No, and more nos. Goldburg could be a reason a lot of old school fans left. Going undefeated for nearly a year and a half, is just utter bullshit on anyones terms.

Somehow, I see him dominating Smackdown!, feuding with Undertaker, Kane, or Khali.

No, the Undertaker wouldn't work well with his style. Kane and Goldburg wouldn't sell worth a shit. If Kane won't sell with Goldburg, what makes you think Khali would?

On the other hand I see him on Raw hyping it up, feuding with Cena, Batista, Randy, HBK, Big Show, or whoever else is there.

No. Just no indeed. These would all be terrible matches.

Who wouldn't want to see Khali get speared like a little girl?

I for one would rather puke in my mouth, and eat it.

As for Kurt Angle, I never want to see him on WWE again. Angle is just... crap now.

You're deffinetely mental, aren't you?

Too controversial (I mean controversial in the Wrestling business),

As Michael Jordan once said about Dennis Rodman, "I don't care what he does on the court, as long as hes doing good on the court"

ruined his career (Getting his ass kicked by an old redneck Jeff Jarrett), and I just don't like him now...

Yawn, Angle is just as entertaining as ever. His promos have gotten better, and his matches are still about the same. I don't see what you're getting at. Then again, you do think Goldburg is a worldwide name.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

To be honest, there aren't many returns that can take place that would have a huge, long term impact on the product that the WWE currently has. RVD wouldn't jump out at you ratings wise. Neither would someone like The Rock. The only way for it to work, would have Rock come back, build it up and have a one time appearance for ratings sake. It's not sound financially for Johnson to return to the ring when he's getting major scratch for making movies with Disney and big movie studios.

The only return that could have a long term impact (no pun intended) and that's only if he's healthy and well enough to return is Kurt Angle. Angle would be an instant booster shot for the WWE and could draw an increase in ratings. Simply because he was once in the WWE, tried his hand in another promotion and didn't do so well, so he's back, and better than ever. And not to mention all of the rivalries he had before would be fresh because they happened so long ago.

Other than that, Stone Cold, Mankind, The Rock or the NAO coming back would not have THAT huge of a play in the success of the current WWE.

 

[The People's Tampon]

The Rock coming back would be awesome because, well, he's The Rock. Big blow out feud with Randy Orton, who would be so ripe for a good old fashioned Rock-style mocking.

RVD is the other dream return. Can you imagine him coming to Smackdown next week to confront CM Punk? Shoot about his marijuana law reform advocacy to a straight-edge champion, how it helped his wife with cancer, that the preachy straight edge crap makes him sick. RVD when they let him loose, can be really great on the mic. And if you don't believe me, rewatch his passion in this clip.

Then have RVD move to Raw and either feud or form a tag team with Shawn Michaels. Styles make fights. A ladder match between those 2 would be a whole brand new kind of awesome.

 

[XgringolocoX]

I thought this was supposed to be returns that COULD ACTUALLY happen. Rock ain't happenin, I'd love it to but it ain't. SCSA..aint happenin. At best a one off.
Angle I'm like 95% sure it wouldn't especially now with his arrest. Angle would have to eat a lot of crow to go back. Plus, I don't see him making an impact. He didn't make any long lasting waves when he jumped to TNA.
Looking at this seriously....it's RVD. He's a return that could catch fire if done with a decent story.

 

[dvayne]

A few returns that I could actually see would be:

London and Kendrick - if TNA ever becomes big enough to compete with WWE Vince will need something to compete with their X divsion and tag team programs. Bringing back Londrick would solve both those divisions. Vince likes to punish his stars by releasing them for their attitude problems (Kendrick) or lack of push (London). I think creative realized they had nothing for Kendrick after it was too late. With enough time to pass He could come back with a better attitude and help their tag division.

Umaga With him refusing rehab the WWE had no choice but to send him packing. I could see him getting the Chris Masters treatment in a year or two if he doesn't make a name for himself in TNA.

Mr. Anderson.....Anderson I see him following in Christian's footsteps. Making a name for himself in TNA, honing his skills and returning for a nice paycheck after Vince sees that he's not a threat to anyone's health anymore. He would instantly be a top talent on ECW eventually working his way up to Smackdown where he belongs

RVD The only way I see him returning is if Vince lets him work a limited schedule (Taker, HBK) He could still spend alot of time with his wife and Vince would have a already established top-tier star to help ratings on ECW or Raw. The only problem is you can't give him the title if he won't work house shows.

X Pac Probably unlikely and wouldn't affect much now but I would love to see a real DX reunion with him returning (the outlaws screwed their chance with their VKM cheapshots and calling out HHH & Michaels) With the amount of heat he gets you could throw him on Smackdown pairing him back up with Kane making him Kane's mouth piece and tag team partner. I just want to see that he's doing ok after his suicide attempt but that would make him a liability to Vince if he took his own life or did something outrageous while signed with WWE The Media would have a field day and Vince is to smart to take a risk on someone unstable right now

 

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

RVD is a great choice and has a chance of happening. Although he's still a pot smoker and has openly admitted it I think WWE would still pick him back up. Wether he would get another world title run is a different question though. The best he'd do is probably get the ECW title. He still get's huge pops in his appearances so he would slot in nicely on the roster as an established name.

Kurt Angle is my other choice. These are the 2 that could actually change WWE to a certain degree. Kurt coming back would be BIG news for both TNA and WWE fans. There would be so much buzz around him returning. Just picture the headlines when TNA releases news Kurt won't be resigning with them. The IWC would speculate and predict a WWE return and then when it happens it would be the biggest pop of the year.

Both would be great to return sometime and I think there is a legitimate possibility of it happening.

 

[Sedated]

Oddly enough of I've seen no mention of Hulk Hogan when there have actually been talks about him wanting to get back in the the ring..

As far as impact I don't see it doing very much. Let's face it, regardless if you love or hate Hogan the man is WAY past his prime. At best he'll draw some rating boosts here and there but that's about it. The rating boosts wont be huge and they wont be sustained.
