Why are there so many returning wrestlers to WWE lately?
in the past few weeks there has been Gangrel, Viscera, shelton (injury), big show (injury) rico (injury) now theres rumours of Stone Cold, Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan. I heard there is a promotion with Jimmy Hart in and there getting loads of old wrestlers together. Is this true and is this why Vince is getting worried that another promotion will become more popular and overtake his ratings?

I heard that Steve Blackman was backstage (I think at No Way Out ) and he was speaking to Vince about returning.

Basically because a majority of fans are crying out for something deiferent to WWE. That is why TNA is starting slowly to draw.Also all the old returning stars is a bid by Vince to try and bring the "Oldschool" crowd back. I like that fact. That and the fact he wants to stop Jimmy doing this. Bottom line is Vince knows that any serious competition would be harsh on him and business at this point in time.

Gangrel is finally back? That's got to make a lot of people here happy. The Brood was tight in its day.

I thought Blackman was finished wrestling for good due to injury?

Maybe Gangrel will do what Goldust/Mr. Perfect did in 2002 and impress everyone and get a contract.

They said that about Shawn Michaels, and look at him now. But what point is there in bringin' back Steve Blackman without a hardcore division for him to compete in? He was a hardcore machine, man! Its all well and good bringing back a lot of old people, and I'm for it, but they really should look closer to home before they try to sort everythin' out.

Well, yeah, there's no HC division. But we still have RVD and Bob Holly. I'm pretty sure there's a place for the Lethal Weapon in the WWE ranks. At least have him replace Coach on Heat just to see Blackman wear that cheese hat again. :lol:
