[@Septicor]

Test had so much untapped potential that it's kinda sad when you think of it.

[@Megadebt]

Well, watching WWE ECW back it's obvious Test had a lot of female fans but he lacked genuine charisma.

[@josephpatti2835]

@@Megadebt 1000 percent....just cause someone was average at their job does not mean it was untap potential. He was given a few shots and he did not make it. He did more than most.

[@oddishhonor]

They tried tapping it multiple times, just didn’t work out.

[@jrsmith1998]

nah. Test sucked. Especially his lame theme music. “This is a test. this is a test” (repeat for the entire boring song)

[@jimbo_1312]

He was a dangerous worker with no charisma. Look I love test but he was just another poor example of vince trying to find a big guy to rule the roost.

[@spookerredmenace3950]

its interesting how they treated Trish's retirement and how they treated Lita's retirement

[@ReeceyBoy3191]

Still doesn’t feel right

[@spookerredmenace3950]

@@ReeceyBoy3191 true, not fair for Lita at all .

[@japanreddo3916]

Luckily Lita had the saudi match this year, i think THAT was the right retirement match

[@slaplist8377]

Gotta disagree with the New Age Outlaws. Their match against the USO’s was amazing and flawlessly put them over.

[@michaelvanderworken4987]

That was to do with the greatness of the Usos

[@methodicalmonkey420]

Hahahahahahah good joke

[@MichaelJDMusic]

SAAAAAME! I LOVED their comeback run!

[@kenyonroyster2524]

Agreed 👍

[@XBeatmymeatX1990]

@@michaelvanderworken4987 what greatness? They suck

[@bicaragulatpro]

I have to disagree about the New Age Outlaws. Their return was well timed and perfectly executed. They didn't bury anyone during their run IMO

[@davidbelsky7697]

Warriors return should’ve been a standard ultimate warrior match, he should’ve mowed down Orlando Jordan in five minutes and posed with the belt. that, plus the entrance is what the crowd wanted to see anyway. He didn’t need to go 17 minutes

[@cutekanjii]

I'm aasuming orlando didn't "get" the business and wanted to make it look like he had a good chance of winning

[@Diegoo98]

The usos vs The Rhodes bros vs new age outlaw matches were a thing of beauty!Good chemistry!

[@ThomasBoyce5000]

I enjoyed it

[@SethTheSouthernWeirdo]

You know you're special when you have 2 terrible comebacks, but the Ultimate Warrior is a unique case.

[@outstretchedwings]

Still find it funny as hell that his last match was against an openly bisexual man

[@SethTheSouthernWeirdo]

Why was that funny exactly? EDIT: Never mind. The comments gave me my answer.

[@garyhen1707]

Racist is what warrior was!

[@SethTheSouthernWeirdo]

@@garyhen1707 Both are bad. Not like it matters which he is.

[@georgeleos8219]

Kucf your face. Cody Rhodes comeback!!! Epic!!!! Cm punk back in AEW I dig it. Hogan what ever music u want pissing on the mat. Iconic!! Lol. That all joking. Just saying into music and pop. Can I get a live Rage Dx intro….. please!!! Side note Rkbro Bruh!!!!! P.S. AEW killing it. Darby Allen. Young Bucks!!! Jurassic express!!! And my true man. Y2J. My fav intro song. When seen. Break the wall down!!!!! I go crazy.

[@bullymaguire3057]

Sables return was relatively entertaining imo

[@tarianna07]

No

[@rickyrosay33977]

She was past her prime by that point torrie Wilson, trish stratus, lita, and Stacy Keibler were the new bombshells Sable just felt like the mom trying to still be young

[@joeboggio4002]

Looking forward to seeing Ric Flair re-appear for part 3 despite already being on part 1.

[@thecaveman3503]

And again later in parts 5,7,8,11,14,15,16, and 17

[@foreverred105]

Warrior had potential in WCW. Loved the new look he had. The cowboy boots and a ghost from Hogan's past ready to destroy the NWO.

[@stevegallo8483]

Seems like the only reason Warrior went to WCW was for Hogan to get his win back, and also because Warrior wanted WCW to push his comic book.

[@tafua_a]

Unfortunately, he was only there to give Hogan the W he didn't get at Mania. Had they had better plans for him, and had he not been so outlandish in his creativity, it might have worked. Yes, he was very limited, but they proved with Goldberg that it wasn't really an issue.

[@Alex-qq2fp]

Bret wasn't that bad. That run also gave us Europeans a chance to see him in the ring in late 2010 during a live event tour

[@savagecatgt]

He also loved touring Europe during his initial wrestling run with wwf.

[@themeanhornet1070]

Test-Run!! LOL that was great.

[@marioaustin9312]

The new age outlaws return should've gone like the Dudley boyz a few years later. No title reigns, pop the crowd , put over new teams etc

[@slaplist8377]

They did tho. They gave the USO’s their first big title win and the crowd popped huge for it

[@nickonite]

There was no good reason not to give the Dudley's at least one title reign during that last run.

[@dagameplayer]

I enjoyed Sables come back in 2003. I thought she and Vince worked well together, not to mention her and Torrie. Only thing I wish woulda happened with that is her getting to work with Trish on Raw. I woulda liked both her and Stephanie to work with Trish during that time.

[@Hallofshame-f7x]

Do a video about top 10 wrestling stable that should never happened in wrestling history

[@garyhen1707]

I'm behind you in this, I'll have you know lol

[@MacauleyOliver]

Number one: Retribution

[@garyhen1707]

@@MacauleyOliver yup

[@hhtptai]

Sable also met and married Brock Lensar after her second run, so all was not lost.

[@travonmiller2297]

They all deserve respect for coming back and entertaining us ,thank you champs 🏆🥇

[@machohogan]

I loved Hennig in 02, Also Nash in 2011. I’d started witching in 90 when I was 14 and some of these returns were great to see.

[@JugglerOfWords]

I saw Hennig wrestle in Köln during a European tour that year.. can't remember who it was against though, but some of the other matches were Spike Dudley Vs. William Regal, Brock Lesnar Vs. Crash Holly, Booker T Vs. Ric Flair, and some multi-man hardcore match involving Justin Credible and Goldust....

[@alienlife7754]

At the end the Ultimate Warrior didn’t “come back” he was just making an appearance. There was no way he was gonna do another run.

[@RyanIncorporated]

I might be mistaken, but I’d heard Bret was planning to be more physical than he was during the Vince match, but somehow the Lloyd’s policy prompted them to abandon that plan, and that was largely why we got the match we did get, which I still think is a miracle considering Bret is a stroke victim, and at that time had a knee replacement (and was on his way toward needing another).

[@lukethomas6900]

Yeah, I still remember Test's return to the company seeming rather weird and odd. It was as if he just wasn't the same guy and didn't belong there anymore within that brief '06-'07 run. When you remember a guy's first stint in WWE a whole lot more/better than his second or third one, that alone tells you right there that they should've never returned to begin with.

[@JM1993951]

Test’s 2006 run actually had me excited that they’d do something decent with him on the ECW brand. He deserved much more, but a WWE/CW title run should’ve been a guarantee. He was more prepared than Lashley was at the time.

[@markpuczek3525]

The quad joke was amazing. 🤣🤣🤣

[@JayJ95X]

How do you not have Ric Flair's/Hogan's TNA run on this list?

[@Rad404error]

Next ranking idea, every wcw ppv of the 21st century.

[@garyhen1707]

Lol

[@stewartmcrae8007]

I completely disagree about sable in 2003 I was a little too young for her original run in 1998 but in 2003 I was the perfect age and had a few interesting thoughts relating to her

[@rickyrosay33977]

I was a kid during her first run even then I found her overrated my favorites were Ivory and Debra by 2003 I was in my late childhood early teens phase Sable to me looked like the mother that is clinging onto her youth Trish, Stacy, lita and Torrie were the new bombshells

[@stevendycus9559]

I have a hard time saying its disappointing seeing Mr perfect anytime.....always great

[@nujabeez6573]

Thanks to the almighty coo keeping test down, he never reached the level he could have if it wasn’t for politics

[@BaronLector]

Damn, I was on hiatus during 2011. Gonna have to go back and watch HHH vs. Nash.

[@tvmanin]

Why have I only just a notification for this now... not even been in my subb box

[@jerranspearman3369]

good video

[@suicidality2744]

Warrior was really nothing after his original 1987-91 WWF run. Warrior's heart wasn't in it in any of his returns and the fans could tell.

[@cutekanjii]

I didn't see Mr Perfect's return in 2002 but i heard it was supposed to just be a one off but mcmahon was impressed with his performances so decided to keep him around but it was the plane ride stuff that got him fited not because he was stinking the place out with his performances

[@tafua_a]

The thing is, after the Rumble he didn't really do much. Some promos, some jobber matches, some fun stuff with RVD on HeaT and then the Plane Ride happened.

[@preetamkumarbhale869]

Did Goldberg end Bret Hart's career? Never heard Bret mention any of this.

[@realretrorelapse]

Mr Perfects injury was so sad. He was one of my favorite wrestlers and could go toe to toe with Bret Hart. After his back injury he just was never the same.

Of course the Trish Stratus segment is the most replayed.

I don't think The New Age Outlaws return was too bad.

[@Zanatos9]

New Age Outlaws vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass... Who do you got!?

I quite enjoyed the Trish return and considering just how popular Jersey Shore was at the time, playing second fiddle to Snooki (who performed really well) isn't all that bad. Morrison should've been a little nicer though maybe

Umm 11:06 in. Corny said it best. He was the “Shitz.” Never got Goldberg vs Warrior. Knowing what I know now. And ruining my childhood. I sooo wish I was at a warrior speech / speaking gospel. When u have it but u can’t control yourself u become the villain. And he sucked

I am always me. But that comes with my flaws. Traveling and putting one self through torture can take its toll. Respect the ones that made it out. Hall, Macho, Hart, Luger, Hogan, Steiner, Valentine, Ross, Dutch, Atlas, and last not least Stone and Rock. Substance abuse is lethal. This sport is lethal. Especially when it comes 2 power!!! I slap Vinny Mac. Bk I don’t work for that fool. And I don’t care how much money I got. But u wanna make some money my boy. Sit back and I show u. But ur shaved assets I don’t go out like Enzo.

[@SRPC21]

Mr Perfect in 2002 looked great and was still athletic. I blame the WWE for basically using him as a jobber as soon as the Royal Rumble was over. He’d lose basically all matches on Heat (apart from against a rookie Brock Lesnar ironically). They should’ve given him a part time legends contract instead. I think he could’ve had great bouts against Jericho/Angle/Flair.

[@Zxlxya]
