10 Things WWE Fans Expected To Have Seen By Now

Shocking returns, emotional retirements and matches once thought impossible, there's a case to be made that pro wrestling fans have seen it all. 

There's just one problem: they haven't.

If fans now could whizz back in a time machine to ten years ago, there are so many things they could tell everyone still stuck back in 2006. In fact, fire up the WWE Network and look at programming from even just a few years ago and you'll see that things are remarkably different. 

During each of these time periods, there are things that people would have expected to happen long before now. For example, who can believe that guys like The Big Show and The Undertaker are still wrestling? 

On that note, there's one huge match that most suspected would have happened between 'The Deadman' and a certain WCW 'Icon' that just hasn't.

Certain retirements, main roster debuts and even character quirks haven't yet occurred in WWE, and it's startling to imagine there are still so many unanswered questions. 

Let's take a look at some of the most notable things WWE fans probably expected to have witnessed by 2016...

Some storylines just get discarded, never to be heard from again. It's almost like they didn't happen at all, like promotions just expect fans to get caught up in everything else going on and forget them.

That's exactly the situation with the long-ridiculed 'Anonymous Raw General Manager' angle.

Unveiled by Vince McMahon in 2010, the unnamed authority figure would send in emails to be read by Michael Cole. The situation was an intriguing one, and many wondered who WWE would introduce as being behind the messages.

Unfortunately, it came across loud and clear later that WWE themselves didn't have a satisfying answer to that question.

After a period of not using the gimmick, the company decided to reveal Hornswoggle as the one who had been sending emails from underneath the ring. Naturally, this didn't appease fans, it was a stupid end to what had been a promising story.

Via their official website, WWE then questioned the validity of the Hornswoggle claims. This reopened a story that - as of yet - hasn't been fully answered. It probably (almost definitely) never will be.
