5 Legends Who Could Return at The Royal Rumble

The road to WrestleMania begins at the Royal Rumble, so what better place for a legend to return and set up a marquee match at the "Showcase of the Immortals" than the Royal Rumble match itself.  Legends return at the Royal Rumble every year, so the question is, who's it going to be this year?

As of writing this article there are only 5 confirmed entrants to the Women's Rumble, thus we feel it will be peppered with female legends, therefor for the purposes of this article, we are only going to look at potential returns in the Men's Royal Rumble match.  

#5 Sting

BCW thoughts/notes:  This time of year rumours start about one last Sting match, usually pitching him to square off against The Undertaker at WrestleMania.  This is something we'd love to see, however it all depends on Sting's physical condition and whether WWE would be willing to clear him for an in-ring return.

#4 The Undertaker

BCW thoughts/notes: The Deadman is still an active competitor a few times a year for WWE, thus it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he made an appearance at the Royal Rumble especially as it's taking place in his home town, Houston, Texas.

#3 Shawn Michaels

BCW thoughts/notes: One of the least likely on this list, but he did compete in Saudi last year and is also currently working for WWE with NXT.  We know it's a long shot, but there's an outside chance.

#2 CM Punk

BCW thoughts/notes: CM Punk recently made his long-awaited return to WWE TV, albeit as an employee of Fox, but although Punk has insisted he will not be returning to a WWE ring at the Royal Rumble, he's still our shout for the #30 position!

#1 Edge

BCW thoughts/notes: The Rated R Superstar has been trying to get WWE to clear him lately for an in ring return after years on the sideline, with what so far has been a career ending neck injury.  However if the wrestling rumour mill is to be believed, Edge has already received this clearance from WWE doctors and he will be making his return in the Royal Rumble match!

The 15 Greatest Tag Team Finishers Ever

Image
Not since the days of Demolition, The Hart Foundation, The Road Warriors & The British Bulldogs etc. in the late 1980's has there been such a wealth of talented Tag Teams in the world of Professional Wrestling, until now that is!  As the likes of The Young Bucks, The Revival. The Uso's & The New Day are arguably among a best crop of Pro Wrestling Tag Teams to come along since the 1980s "Golden Generation".  Thus with this in mind, we have decided to pick our Top 15 (basically because we couldn't whittle it down to 10 as there are so many great ones!) Tag Team Finishers of all time. Honourable Mention: Shaker Heights Spike (The Beverly Brothers) It wasn't very often we got to see the Shaker Heights Spike, in fact Blake & Beau (The Beverly Brothers) usually only performed the move on local enhancement talent, as on the bigger shows they themselves were regularly jobbed out to more popular teams. The move itself is devastating, Blake would ...

The 8 Greatest Pro Wrestling Referees Ever

Image
The referee in the world of Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment (or whatever you like to call it) is much more than the guy to count the 1,2,3.  In fact he/she is as important, if not more important, than the actual competitors.  What many people don't realise is that the official passes messages throughout the match to each superstar, calls spots & even tells the competitors when it's "time to go home".   As of late, especially in key matches on WWE PPV's, referee's have made some huge errors, blowing the finish to huge matches (Wrestlemania 35's Main Event springs to mind as one of the biggest).  Yes, I know anyone can make a mistake, but there is a fine art to being a good pro wrestling referee & an even finer art to being a great one.  Thus with that in mind, lets take a look at who we believe are the 8 Greatest Professional Wrestling Referees of All Time. Honourable Mentions: Danny Davis, Jack Doan, Teddy Long & Red Shoes Un...

10 Crazy Moves Banned by WWE

Image
WWE prides itself on safety these days, but that wasn't always the case!  With that in mind, let's take a look at 10 classic wrestling maneuvers WWE has since banned their Superstars from performing! #10 Doomsday Device Finishing maneuver of The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom, where Hawk would perform a top rope clothesline knocking his opponent off his partner Animal's shoulders in the process.  It takes skill (mainly from the performer taking the bump) to avoid injury on the landing from the Doomsday Device, unfortunately a lot of enhancement talent in the 90's lacked said skill, thus the move was pretty much retired after LOD left the company, with the exception of the Dudley Boys performing it occasionally during their first run with WWE. #9 Piledriver The Piledriver was a devastating finisher/signature move right up to the mid 2000's in WWE, although it had become a watered down version by the end.  The move was made famous by the likes of Wi...
