5 Major stars that need another run in WWE
Kurt Angle is regarded as one of the best the industry has ever seenWWE is a place of second chances. Just when fans think a talent is gone never to return again, the company surprises everyone by bringing him back. Sometimes the returning guy in question had left of his own accord and sometimes he had been “future endeavored.” But despite how he left, it always makes headlines when he comes back to the fold. There have been a lot of those returns in recent years. From Goldust to The New Age Outlaws to Batista, WWE has often gone back to the past to help the present. It’s a move that was made again recently with the return of The Dudley Boyz and now that WWE’s ratings continue to slide, Bubba Ray and D-Von may not be the last veterans to be called back. The best part about that is many stars outside the company are currently still working, which means they’re in great shape and ready to make a splash in the house that McMahon built once again.The timing has to be right of course. Contracts must be up, the desire to leave must be there and a plan must be in place to return. Guys have to be comfortable with the offer and the situation and when both of those things are right, then it’s the right move to make.It will not happen in every case of course but for the most part, guys want to finish on top. Working one last match on WWE’s main event stage is perhaps the best way to go out and that is surely true of the ones on this list. WWE is not only a place of second chances, it’s a place to entertain and do it at the highest possible level. For any pro wrestler committed to being the best, the only way to properly cement a legacy is to have a great run in WWE and for many, it’s to come back and have one more great run.
#5 John Morrison
John Morrison could perhaps not have been called a major star when he was in WWE before. But that was then and this is now; Morrison has never looked better and he’s absolutely killing it in the ring.
From the moment he debuted in Lucha Underground, John has been at the top of his game. Gone are the long winded promos and the reckless abandon in his move-set. Any doubts fans may have had about his dedication to the business and to improving between the ropes must surely be gone now. The man now known as Johnny Mundo has proven himself as a main event star.
As of now he does seem happy in Lucha and thanks to season two of the program on the horizon, it’s likely he’s not going anywhere any time soon. But if the opportunity does present itself to come back and do business with WWE once again, it’s a move both he and they should definitely make. WWE could use him for his experience, his ring savy and his new found ability to draw money, which was perhaps just not there before.
Morrison did the best thing by staying the course and he’s done the smart thing by getting better. He is now the complete package and eventually WWE should see it that way too and truth be told, that may already be the case.
