10 Best WWE Comeback Runs

10. Goldberg (2016 - 2017)

We have to concede, straight off the bat, that Goldberg's comeback run one year ago consisted of just four matches (one of them being the Royal Rumble), and that those four matches lasted a total of about 10 minutes.

What do you want though? The dude was 50, hadn't stepped inside a ring in more than 12 years, and was doing it all so that his son could get a glimpse of his old man being a superhero inside the ring (and - perhaps - a massive, Vince McMahon-sized paycheque as well).

Fleeting though it was, there's absolutely no denying that beating Brock "The Main Event" Lesnar in about 80 seconds, winning the Universal Championship at Fastlane, and then competing in one of WrestleMania 33's marquee matches represents a pretty impressive run - at any age, let alone in your twilight years.

The ex-WCW star even succeeded in momentarily disabusing cynical smark fans of their deep-seated conviction that proper wrestling has to mean a pair of streamlined twenty-somethings doing suicide dives to the outside of the ring. It was like being a kid again, and for that, you have to take your hat off to all involved.
