Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 3, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2019 Yeah, it was advertised for a few weeks beforehand along with Goldust, Venis and Godfather returning and was one of the selling points of that yearâs Rumble. Rock did a promo about it and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 2001, as Haku went on to team with Rikishi and feud with Taker/Kane before wrestlemania. For me, and I may be being biased here as I was there, but WM33âs return of the Hardyz. The atmosphere when the first few beats hit of their music was just out of this world, to the point grown men were high 5ing regardless of if they knew each other, and shaking with excitement for what was happening.

I honestly think the last time I heard a pop like that was Rock/Hogan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Eric Bischoff's arrival as Raw general manager was a complete surprise. Â IIRC they even snuck him in through backstage a minute before he went out, so nobody knew he was even in the building. When he and Vince hug on stage, I believe that's the first time they ever met.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 Pedantic but Bischoff was a debut not a return! Haku's a good shout. I remember watching that Rumble before work and I was ironing my shirt. I popped for the return and burnt my shirt. Luckily just read this back before I posted "I was ironing my shit".

Kfogg1991 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The hardy's return at mania had everyone in my house at the time jump up and scream with utter joy. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonworden Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Sting's debut was a complete shock to me although not a return,however his reveal in place of the statue of Rollins was pretty surprising. Apart from that the typical Hardys and Rock ones spring to mind as heard nothing online. Actually I think there were reports the Mania host would be Justin Bieber Jake Roberts at Old School Raw in 2013 or 2014 is memorable as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted April 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 We knew Kevin Nash was going to be at the Rumble, as opposed to being part of the Main Event Mafia when he managed to talk Dixie into releasing him and Booker T without any questions or a no compete clause on the Friday, but then this happened and stunned the world.: Matt Striker sums it best with his not quite exclaimation of "Holy Shit!"
