20 Must See Moments From The 100 New RAW Episodes Added To WWE Network

20. The Depressing Return Of The Legion Of Doom - 12/5/03

In a moment that many (thankfully) forgot ever happened, the Legion of Doom (or Road Warriors to some) returned to RAW on the 12/5/03 episode. Not only that, but they returned to challenge then-tag champions Rob Van Dam and Kane. 

Animal and Hawk were hoping to get a full-time deal out of the performance, but needless to say the return was a one-night-only shot and for good reason.

For wrestling fans who grew up in the 80s and 90s, LOD were arguably the most popular tag team. They were a main event attraction in their own right, with their face-paint and shoulder pads ubiquitous at all live shows. They won titles wherever they went, leaving a trail of broken bones and blood behind them.

Time eventually caught up with them however, and the gruelling lifestyle got its shots in too. By 2003 both men were a shadow of their former selves, a clear example of how difficult it is to leave the crazy world of professional wrestling.

The return lasted one night, and five months later Hawk had died.
