Your Top Five Most Wanted Returns

[Altabane]

Welp, I'm bored, so I'm making a list, who do you want to return to the WWE? You can pick anyone, just explain why briefly.

1. Colt Cabana
Especially given all the attention he's gotten lately, I'd love to see Colt return.

2. Luke Gallows
Shouldn't have been released in the first place, young and super talented.

3. Mick Foley
Probably not to wrestle full time, but it's always nice to have Mick around. Maybe he'd somehow agree to commentate again, he was great doing that, and would probably stand up to Cole.

4. JBL
See Mick Foley

5. Cliff Compton
I really didn't care about Deuce and Domino, but after listening to Cliff on his two episodes of AOW, I really want to see him back as a singles comedy guy.

Honorable Mention: MVP

[Deleted]

Batista x5

He's the man.

[joebob27]

1) Planet Stasiak and Rob Conway. As a tag-team. With mashup music. "Just look at me (various space/computer noises in the background)...."

GOLD.

[I *still* ✡ Johnny]

1. Raven
2. Raven
3. Johnny Polo
4. Raven
5. Raven

[Baixo Astral]

1 - Luke Gallows, but wrestling in the way he did as Festus (seemed to lose something in becoming Gallows)

2 - Masters - It's a joke that he is gone

3 - Hardcore Holly - He's awesome

4 - Batista - Come home, Dave

5 - Foley - See Batista

[Drink Up Me Cider]

Brock Lesnar!!! Even though I don't agree with his personal opinions, he is the strongest looking wrestler I have ever seen.

The only other one would be Jericho, because then he could redeem himself from the crap that was WWE2009.

[The Man That Sanity Forgot]

In no order...

1. Colt Cobana - I don't think there's much explaining needed. In the current era, in his 'SERIOUS' ("Look up!") gimmick, I reckon he'd be pure gold. He HAS to be Colt Cabana though, not Scotty Goldman or anything else.

2. Chris Jericho - I want a Jericho/Punk or Jericho/Bryan feud so badly. Plus, he's one of the best in the world.

3. Marquis Cor Von/Monty Brown - I was gutted when he left. I thought he had a massive future. I do hope to see him back one day. Potential star.

4. Low Ki - The way he went out was ridiculous. I think in the HHH era, he'd be much better used. See Cor Von for more details.

5. Chris Masters - See Rabbi Emanuel Rabinovich's explanation. It is a joke. He was improving so much and I genuinely think he could turn out to be great.

(I was half tempted to add Mistico to this list, as a bit of fun...)

Tajiri

Scotty 2 Hotty

[DiBiase is Good]

I'm going for people who are not (as far as I know) full-time active Wrestlers anymore.
In no particular order


Tajiri
Dunno what kind of shape he's in now, or even if he's still wrestling. But I want the Buzzsaw back dammit!

Finlay
Although he didn't really do much towards the end of his time in WWE, I would sleep better at night knowing that Finlay is working there in some capacity.

Lita
Although various injuries slowed her down, she was pretty damn awesome back in the day. She still looks to be in good shape and I hope she comes back (minus the fake comedy balloons) if anything, just so her send-off wasn't Cryme Tyme treating her like a whore.

Brock Lesnar
I was going back through some old shows from 2002/3 and damn, Brock was awesome. Ok, that's not exactly something that was a secret but he has unfinished business with the WWE. Even if it's a one-time Wrestlemania match, I'd be happy to see it. I'd also like to see him hit the SSP properly at Mania (although don't know if he still could).

Hulk Hogan
Ric Flair got one of the best send-offs in Wrestling History (let's gloss over what's happened since), yet he spent the most successful years of his career outside the WWF. If he got a send-off like that, then The Hulkster needs to come home and retire with the WWE.

[Wolf Hurricane]

5. Katie Lea/Winter: The more I see and hear her on Impact, the more I'm utterly confounded as to why they released her. Great worker, and not too bad on the mic. Would have loved to see her better utilized in the WWE.

4. Serena: So much they could have done with her, and not just with the SES. She was just wasted potential, pure and simple.

3. MVP: The man had everything; great on the mic, great in the ring, and had great charisma. They dropped the ball on him hard.

2. Chris Jericho: No explanation needed; I'm dying for a Punk/Jericho program right about now.

1. Kurt Angle: Again, no explanation needed. Also, I believe the WWE environment would probably have been better for him in the long run, particularly considering the reasons surrounding his release and what has happened since his joining TNA.

Honorable Mention:
Kaval (Could have been used so much better than he was)
Mickie James (Capable and very over veteran; could have been an aide to up-and-coming Divas)
Shelton Benjamin (Great in-ring technician; would've loved to see him and Swagger as a team or as opponents)
Caylen Croft (BRING BACK THE DUDEBUSTERS!)
Melina (Melryse... )

Tajiri

Scotty 2 Hotty

You know I watched his last match on Heat, losing to Gregory Helms, before he went back to Japan to be with his family. I thought to myself, you are too good dude, just too dude to be losing to Heel Hurricane on your last friggin' day with the company.

[Beartato]

5. Tajiri - I always absolutely loved Tajiri, his matches/feuds with Rey are some of my favorites.
4. Kurt Angle, if he straightened himself out and took care of the crazy.
3. Brock Lesnar - no one could play a monster better in my opinion and is my most hated heel of all time.
2. Batista - Like most others, I couldn't stand his character until he turned heel. He looked like he was finally comfortable in his own skin. His face character was so boring and seemed so forced. After the turn, he was just awesome and it ended too soon.
1. Chris Jericho. That is all.

[Bo Rida]

1. Shane O’Mac, It’s one of the oldest stories there is: the prodigal son returns. Poor Shane thought that running WWE was his birthright but he was forced out the company that should have been his and has to watch his brother in-law run the business. He may even see HHH as somebody who is just using his sister or think that his sister has turned against him.
Of course he’ll need help so he can bring

2. The Mean Street Posse –I like them OK?

3. Jericho – Do I need an explanation… I just like Jericho and would like to see him face some of the newer guys, plus he’s the original conspiracy victim so can have some great skits with R-Truth

4. Tajri- Probably the only mid-carder that left a big hole in their absence, I have no idea how he does it as it can’t just be the kicks.

5. Masters- I agree with the others, hard work and improvement should be rewarded and not lead to being wished well in your future endeavours. Although I like Masters I really should have agreed with JBL or Foley returning to commentary.

[stinger]

1. Shawn Michaels - The Greatest of All-Time. No further explanation needed.

2. Chris Jericho - Still has a lot in the tank. He needs to come back before too many of his viable years are wasted.

3. Ultimate Warrior - Because that would be friggin' EPIC.

4. Kidman - Just to see if you still can't powerbomb him.

5. Vader - My favorite monster heel of all time.

Agree with all of these.

It's actually mental how Colt doesn't have a job. The guy would flourish in any role given to him. Even if he wasn't a wrestler he would make a great commentator, manager or backstage interviewer or in a behind the scenes role as a trainer or working in merchandise or booking. The guy is the total package and makes wrestling fun and cool for me.

Cliff Compton seems f***ing awesome after hearing him on the podcast, they really didn't let him show much at all.

I'd also love to see Brock return, there's never been a more dominating, legit and believable champion. Any big muscle bound guy they push as a monster (Lashley, Batista, Mason Ryan etc. etc.) looks totally fake next to Brock's work.

I think Warrior would be great in a GM type role. Watch his youtube videos, the guy is a great talker, mature, intense and intelligent. He's also one of my all time favourite's despite how limited he was in the ring so it would be sweet to see him back.

[ilggant]

Leanar
Jericho
Batista
Cabana
JBL as an announcer

[FailedGimmick]

I'm going to go ahead and say it: Jeff Hardy.

I've always liked him in the ring, and with the recent sentencing, I hope he can truly turn his life around.
