10 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Were In WWE's Ruthless Aggression Era

3. Vader

Sticking with wrestling legends stopping by in the Ruthless Aggression period to briefly pop those in attendance watching the madness unfold, October 2005 also saw the unexpected return of Vader on an entirely peculiar edition of Raw.

With Jonathan Coachman's planned match with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin being scrapped on account of The Texas Rattlesnake apparently being involved in an accident, The Coach soon found himself being hunted down by his substitute in the form of Batista.

And with the panicking heel's back-up in Goldust quickly being overwhelmed by the World Heavyweight Champion, The Mastodon soon shockingly arrived to overpower The Animal. This sudden comeback, one which also came equipped with a rather unfortunate stumble for the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion, actually marked the first time Vader had appeared in a WWE ring in seven years.

Then, in another moment that feels like something fresh out of a video game, the monstrous generations would clash once again at Taboo Tuesday when Big Dave spinebustered the colossal legend on the way to victory against the odd collection of villains' leader.

That's one way to pass the heavyweight superstar torch, I guess.
