10 Forgotten One Night Only WWE Returns
3. Various Legends - Raw XV 2007
When it comes to anniversary shows and milestone episodes, WWE always does a great job tipping the cap to the past, with a nod to the stars that got WWE where it is today. The Raw XV Anniversary was no different... except instead of a nod, they gave a gigantic wave for all to see.
That wave came in the form of a "15th Anniversary 15-Man Battle Royal", featuring a whole host of stars from yesteryear - many of whom hadn't featured on WWE TV in quite some time. With The Fink on announcing duties, it was simply classic.
While the bout itself featured entirely of returning superstars, many of these veterans had appeared sporadically over the years - such as Bob Backlund and Doink the Clown - while others had become recurring fixtures in backstage skits and legends segments - such Sgt Slaughter and IRS. However, the bout also saw the return of several long-gone Attitude Era stars: including Gangrel, Bart Gunn and Steve Blackman. Even Gillberg made an appearance, complete with security and sparklers in tow.
The pop of the match came for the surprising return of Jim ' The Anvil' Neidhart. Despite his ten year hiatus from WWE, the fans hadn't forgotten him and the bullish member of The Hart Foundation received a warm reaction from the crowd.
