10 Times Wrestling Legends Returned (And NOBODY Cared)

It was depressing.

It was melancholic.

It was funereal.

Not one soul gave a toss about Brian Christopher's 14 March 2011 reappearance on Raw, which made his full-hearted entrance dismally underwhelming. Out he came, doing the full Too Cool bit to the original soundtrack. The audience was turned off during an era when WWE hadn't yet discovered the fake crowd noise filter on their vision mixer; even then, would it have saved this comeback's spirit when each shot of the crowd displayed a motionless and indeed emotionless St. Louisan audience? They were bored, bored of WWE, bored of the Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole saga, bored of what professional wrestling had been reduced to in the largest pro wrestling organisation in the world.

Admittedly, Christopher - the believed third-best member of the Too Cool trio - garnered two larger reactions when he returned twice in 2014, first during that year's Old School Raw and the second, bizarrely, at NXT ArRIVAL in a forgettable NXT Tag Team titles match during The Ascension's lengthy and exhausting 364-day reign. His lack of reaction three years prior was very much a gauge of the audience's interest in the aforementioned commentator conflict.

There hasn't been another reaction like it because there wasn't a reaction in the first place.
