Triple H's return on the 7 January episode was thunderous. Madison Square Garden, a beloved venue drenched in WWF history, came alive with one of the most spine-chilling reactions any wrestler has ever received. Honestly, it's amazing to look back at this almost 21 years on.

Another point: Trips comeback might be the greatest WWE return pop of all time. That's surprising considering it happened the same year as Hulk Hogan's own re-arrival on WWF telly, but 'The Game' blew him out of the water. There's more on that to come, by the way.

It's even more impressive because Hunter was a heel when he went down with that agonising quad tear in May 2001. In fact, he was arguably the biggest heel on the roster. The lethal combo of absence making the heart grow fonder and some killer U2-backed rehab vids built anticipation for this historic moment.
