10 Lamest WWE Returns
8. The Headbangers (SmackDown - 30 August 2016)
One 28-day Tag Team Championship reign aside, The Headbangers were a nothing Attitude Era tag team. They listened to heavy metal, couldn't grow hair, wore cones on their t*ts, painted brown splodges on their arseholes, and fannied around in skirts. That's it. That's all they were (though Mosh and Thrasher were both decent hands between the ropes).
So why, then, did the company decided to bring them back for a brief stint in 2016, during which they wrestled three matches, lost each one, and disappeared back into the ether? Answers on a postcard, please.
The long-forgotten Headbangers got nothing from live crowds. Even those who remembered them responded more with "wait, why are these guys back?!", making this one of WWE's more curious nostalgia comebacks. At least The Godwinns would've been funny.
What's weirdest about Mosh and Thrasher's return was that WWE destroyed their run years after their departure, with WWE Magazine once slating them for not being worthy of holding the Tag Team Titles. Then, a few years later, the Raw 15th Anniversary mag put them in at number two on a list of wrestlers who overstayed their welcome.
