6. Roddy Piper - WrestleMania XIX
Chalk this return up under completely random. Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan were having a feud revolved around who was responsible for the success of Hulkamania. Was it the performer, Hulk Hogan? Or was it the promoter, Vince McMahon? This led to a match between the two at Safeco Field in Seattle at the 2003 version of WrestleMania. Usually there are some types of shenanigans in a Vince McMahon match. Nobody expected shenanigans of this type. After Hogan and Vince were down, Roddy Piper, of all people, came into the ring to one of the biggest pops of the night. After taunting both men, he ended up hitting Hogan with a lead pipe. This led to a short-lived feud between the two, and Piper was fired after he admitted on HBO that he still takes drugs.
