I only remember Palumbo’s comeback because he was on SvR 2009…and I’m sure I’m not the only one 😂

[@Kleetus_Van_Damm]

The fact Michelle McCool was his valet gained my attention, ironically enough, his entrance music was “YOU WILL REMEMBER MAAAAAYYYY!”

[@cjfrm3658]

He feuded with Jamie Noble

[@TheSickGman09]

I saw him wrestle live with that gimmick and was shocked to see him be just as taller if not taller than the undertaker

[@cjfrm3658]

@@TheSickGman09 What year?

[@TheSickGman09]

@@cjfrm3658 shit I was so young I barely remember. I think it was around the time Flair was about to retire as he was wrestling in the same match as well. It was a dark match main event with big show taker Palumbo flair edge and a few others in a tag match. It was in fayetteville nc and a smackdown/ecu taping. That's all I remember haha

[@zyadashraf6075]

Ironic how Chuck Palumbo's return is on here considering the title of his theme song at the time

[@unknownapproach9410]

You WON’T remember me!!!!!

[@zyadashraf6075]

@@dr.kasimirmosebusch9575 That's when I started watching and I agree. I really miss that underrated midcard

[@zyadashraf6075]

@@dr.kasimirmosebusch9575 Chuck's run as a whole is a huge mystery. Like why have him sit at home for over a year to begin with? 🤔

[@zyadashraf6075]

@@dr.kasimirmosebusch9575 Same, dude

[@doodtheman2508]

Dude not gonna lie I watched most of Chris Masters' 2009 matches. They were really good. It was so weird cuz he was enhancement talent on the main roster brands, but was like the John Cena of WWE Superstars. I remember him getting squashed by Drew Mcintyre on Smackdown and then tapping him out on the next Superstars.

[@nickonite]

Superstars was carried by Masters, Reks, Haas, Shelton, Hawkins, Trent, Tyson Kidd, and British Bulldog Jr.

[@trystinlindsay5674]

@@nickonite I really thought Reks was going to be a main eventer one day

[@zanethind]

Cuz Drew McIntyre after his IC Title run was basically a jobber too lol

[@zanethind]

The video said his matches there were great but nobody watched the show lol

[@mawile2468]

Colin Delaney's comeback was so forgotten it wasn't even on this list

[@TheIndustrialRevolution.]

Who's Colin Delaney?

[@monstermikeheinrichs]

Damn.

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

@@TheIndustrialRevolution. Beaten up jobber who rode Tommy Dreamer's coattails

[@twintyro]

Oh shit he did make a return. Was is more than one match back?

[@jeffreymark475]

He wasn't on the list cause he never had a comeback. I think he appeared once after his release. I wouldn't call that a comeback

[@SheriffOutlaw]

I do remember the Spirit Squad return and I met them during my travels. Kenny is ripped and mad cool like the Voice of The Culti-Crew

[@drakesmith4857]

Kinda feel like haku would be more popular today with as much as we know about him

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

Haku and Steve Williams would kill it today

[@MagicBeanCollective]

1000%

[@machomusprime50]

Without a doubt!!

[@chayden153]

Ooh definitely

[@AliciaSmith1983]

10,000%!!!!!!!!!!

[@BigTiger_99]

In an alternate timeline, MVP is probably on this list.

[@superrobz]

I wonder how many people remember when George Steele returned as one of the oddities in the late 90s

[@mikebass8647]

Loved it!!!!

[@HarmlessChildren]

7 people remember that.

[@superrobz]

*14

[@Somnogenesis]

*28

[@dayostical]

Come on, we all remember the spirit squad's return. It wasn't that long ago.

[@sirmaulerman]

I definitely would have put Kenny Dykstras solo return on here before that

[@sebastianb.3978]

Who'd forget Mauro calling "Oh my god he killed Kenny!" after one of the weakest looking superkicks ever?

[@NormanNorthman]

I honestly expected Chris Masters to have a long career with several world championships to his name. I was wrong.

[@nickonite]

It's amazing that he's only 38.

[@zachlawson5238]

Same... I remember the master lock challenge.

[@AllieRX]

10:51-10:58 SmackDown was on broadcast TV back in the Attitude Era, so fans who didn't have cable were only missing out on RAW.

[@franklingoodwin]

I remember Haku hanging around in catering and in the APA skits but not much else during the Invasion

[@reesebecker4838]

I actually liked Palumbo's return. It was when I first started watching

[@killingragethrowback]

Too Cool was a prototype to The New Day. Both were teams of 3 made up of friends who just want to have fun. They have a big guy, who can be serious and silly as needed with two smaller guys. Too Cool was obsessed with dancing, and New Day has their silly positivity and unicorn hats.

[@SoCalloweenNEWS]

Ouch on that “Jakked & Heat” comment. That touched too close to home.

[@zanderman8831]

Vader was so underutilized.

[@jimbowlan5804]

Yaa but his style didn’t fit wwe as he was a strong style wrestler as he toured Japan alot

[@radentstwo9793]

I remember all of these I viewed. Probably should include the Headbangers in 2016.

[@TheNath87]

I'll never forget Haku's return and teaming with Rikishi to take on Undertaker & Kane.

[@TheSickGman09]

So I only remember Chuck Palumbo for his return lmao. Granted that was the time I was watching WWE as a child so I guess that makes sense lmao.

[@christianwculver]

I remember 10, 9, 8 and 2 I had just started watching Wrestling when Palumbo came back, I knew it didn't last long but I still remember Chris Masters 2010 I think mainly cuz he was DLC for SVR 2011 lol, I remember the Spirit Squad cuz it was part of one of the best feuds on Smackdown at the time and I actually feel like how could you forget Booker but one I'm surprised didn't make the list is I wouldn't blame people for forgetting The Headbangers 2016

[@haydendivine8412]

I'd watch your back... Haku is coming for you now 😂

[@deebow_fat]

The best thing about Chuck Palumbo's return in 2007, was that Howard Jones formerly of Killswitch Engage, sang his theme.

[@2128jrandall]

I'll have to check that track. I remember killswitch did one of CM Punk's themes that was pretty badass too.

[@TTLOSF]

I loved Chuck Palumbo as a kid that theme still hits

[@unholyperiodza5442]

James Elssworth in 2018. As an honor he will also be returning to WWE this year.

[@Gregnetic]

After Vader took out Monsoon, I never wanted to see him again! I was 8 years old.

[@rogregg29445]

I’m pretty sure most remember the spirt squad one. And I remembered like 6 of these lmao

[@fishingandhockeyaquariums5167]

I remember chuck and quite frankly his biker gimmick was badass

[@aaronhurst4379]

Ah yes, Chuck Palumbo, probably the user of the most ironic theme song in wrestling history

[@TTOF_JB]

I remember the Spirit Squad return. I was worried they somehow would cost Dolph the match. lol

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Vader's Return was the idea of Dusty Rhodes, but Vinnie Mac was never a fan of Vader His WWE run wasn't a great one He was great in WCW and awesome in New Japan Pro Wrestling, but his WWE run was horrible

[@Kleetus_Van_Damm]

Way to mansplain Vader, we all know this by now dude

[@Spetia]

I can't think of Nikolai Volkoff without thinking of The Mighty Macabe thanks to Brian Zane

[@quinnplays9166]

Wasn't Haku like 1 of 2 people Andre was scared of?

[@lg6884]

For a good reason...

[@quinnplays9166]

@@lg6884 Oh yeah I know that. Wasn't the other Harley Race if I recall?

[@ridanann]

I wasn't born yet lol I'm sorry I'll see myself out

[@kirbichu54]

PCO was in the Brawl for All making his run more memorable than most of the list

[@chrisshaw5117]

You also forgot to mention that Kenny from the Spirit Squad also stayed around for a bit way before Dolph Ziggler but I guess it was a flop Kenny even made it into a wrestling video game with his new gimmick

[@scottanderson8167]

Nikolai Volkoff had a match with Bruno Sammartino in about 1975 or 76, in MSG. He wasn’t completely new to WWF in his first run.

[@jtp2007]

I remember the Spirit Squad comeback. That match between the Miz and Ziggler where they got involved was an amazing match

[@evrbody]

Rikishi teaming with Haku. Hakushi.

[@jimbowlan5804]

So you’d get the stink face then the Tongan death lock

[@hurricanebtvs]

Never thought I'd see a Pro-Wrestling Pride still in a Cultaholic video, one from an event I was at no less.

[@TEKKENKING23]

I remember Vader was in some episodes of boy meets world

[@nerfherder1986]

Ironic that Chuck Palumbo is on this list when his theme during his comeback insisted that we'd remember him.

[@zersch.]

I told Haku about this video.

[@neonlitez11]

I had to Google what a p45 is lol

[@FloridaGuy53]

Palumbo wanted to be an American Bad Ass so bad that he tried to get early access to Michelle McCool.

[@outlawrip-offartist4161]

I remember Chuck Palumbo return.

[@moroccanmulch906]

really sad to hear this many years later about chuck palumbos career i thought he was so fucking cool on riding down on a bike when i was 7

[@reno_2200]

*Mason Ryan, Stevie Ray, Earthquake, Alundra Blayze...* Good news, though. He got his own motor garage making/repairing custom bikes and cars, which is pretty cool. He has a band and runs fitness classes and had a shortlived TV show that sounds like it was in a similar vein to Wheeler Dealers.

[@zanethind]

I remember the Spirit Squad and Headbangers 2016 and 2017 return and also Booker T's return in 2011

[@sepehrasadi5997]

I'd prefer never returning to a promotion rather than having a forgettable comeback

[@ItsMeAndrewGD]

True

[@Kleetus_Van_Damm]

It’s all about the money, pal! Lol

[@jeffreymark475]

Pretty sure everybody remembers the Spirit Squad "comeback"

[@ShadowCloutJutsu]

I want to know what the undertaker Chuck Palombo Michelle McCool Vince talked about with that character

[@dangerfeild4Life]

Nikolai Volkov wrestled Matt Hardy?! Unbelievable!

[@BringSomeNoise]

I remembered Palumbo as off-brand BikerTaker but forgot about his release instead.

[@ethanbenfield2285]

YOU WILL REMEMBER MEEEEEEEEEEE -Chuck Polumbo, before being forgotten

[@itswonky573]

Don't know about you guys but when I was watching Chris Masters and the master lock challenge when I was still a teen I totally believed his was the shit.

[@kashmere7980]

Wasn't palumbo on smackdown tagging or feuding with Jamie noble? He was in 2008 Royal Rumble also

[@VinnieDangerous]

Jazz should get more recognition

[@BringSomeNoise]

Her recent run in Impact was fantastic.

[@KansasCat3]

Glad this video was presented by the LEADER Of Cultaholic and not that disgracefully naughty Andrew.

[@style3804]

I remember most of these and I was even in the crowd when Masters returned.

[@DeAsiaH]

I would have never thought that the spirit squad would return to Wwe again

[@CheddarTheShredder]

2007 Chuck Palumbo is the only Chuck Palumbo I know hahaha I started watching wrestling in late 2007 and I remember Chuck vs Jamie all to well.

[@missmoanypants]

I started watching again in 2016 so the Spirit Squad is the only one I remember.

[@PGLos]

It's crazy how much Brian Christopher looked like his dad once he got older

[@harleybuffington7493]

The only reason I remember Chuck Palumbo is because I was obsessed with SVR 2009 as a kid

[@jamiemiller1482]

I remembered Booker Ts return, namely because that was the era when I started really watching wrestling

[@r1ch1o24]

I wish Benoit would make a comeback

[@getlitskoden]

Word

[@nicktaylor2657]

Booker T: Tell me you just didn't say that

[@cjaypaz9842]

I remembered most of these except Quebecers,Jazz, and.Nikolai

[@bryanb97]

To save myself time I'm going to say I remember all these.

[@jakobfountain5635]

R.I.P Vader slept on by WWE glade he had a great career in Japan and a good one in WcW

[@zacgibb172]

Chuck pulumbos theme song: "you won't remember me"

[@Facade953]

The Quebecers were the original La Resistance.

[@zanethind]

I really wish Chris Masters was pushed to the great heights of WWE

[@wolvie667]

Doink the clown & Sid Vicous beating Heath Slater

[@bmurray1986able]

Haku shouldve been pushed as the ultimate heel world champion

[@joeyjoejoe1394]

KENNY! was probably screwed by Mondo being the only other guy they could get for the angle and him not showing up in TV shape

[@lilpoetat]

Thanks 👍

[@tonygmichael6434]

Most of the time I never even realized they left...So when I get the announcement of "He/She's returning later tonight" or a "Is that who I think it is...it Is,he's back..heeee's back"!! I'm like "Huh.....He left"?? :|

[@Ezoogie]

Animal in 2005 Tatanka in 2006 Dlo brown in 2008

[@Brando-Lee3725]

PCO was great then and even better now somehow ! I think he shoulda been used better back then . His matches with Brett were great !!! To be honest i was entertained in just about every match he was in !

[@jipsumies3435]

Chuck was great 2007

[@joseherrera8489]

Heat was on the same channel as RAW

[@stephanienoblet8503]

I feel sorry for Vader he was awesome

[@davidtodd3401]

Spirit Squad could have worked if they were masked jobbers, who could be replaced. A heel manager/wrestler with them in tow to bump as comedic security could totally work

[@daneurban9684]

The spirit squad, the one of top 3 most dumbest stunts in WWE

[@blackstorm120]

Please make a "every WWE referee ranked" video

[@DJDub88]

Test would've been a good shout, let go on a mass cut day in '04 whilst recovering from a broken neck, then rehired in '06 for the relaunched ECW brand. Also, any of the forgettable returns of the mid noughties: Charlie Haas, Jamie Noble, Jimmy Yang, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Roadwarrior Animal, Tatanka, etc.
