10 WWE Wrestlers Who Should NEVER Have Come Back

In various shoot interviews and retrospective documentaries about The Ultimate Warrior's 1996, it appears as though almost everybody within WWE knew the New Generation return was almost certain to fail.
This could just be a little bit of in-hindsight bragging of course, but it was always more logical to assume the project would fail than succeed. Warrior and Vince McMahon had already acrimoniously parted twice before this third (and almost final) time in a decade defined by the chaos of an industry and company in decline.
Nothing about Warrior's presence fit in the company he returned to, and increasing megalomania from the man himself didn't help the enormous and irreversible perception problems. The in-house style had advanced beyond his abilities, and McMahon's patience (eventually) evolved beyond putting up with his deficiencies.
