I'm behind since I restarted Countdown instead of jumping in live. I'm kind of disappointed they didn't use Hogan's return to the red and yellow in WCW. Sure it was WCW in its dying days, but I thought it was really cool.

His return to the Red and yellow in WWF was pretty great too if I remember right.

I think it's fine - these shows basically spoil te entire top 10 in the opening montage so it's not really like you watch it to be shocked.

The only thing more surprising than HHH being third is him seeming to imply that he was touched by everyone popping for him to the point that he almost cried.

It was probably deserved too. That rumble was actually the first time I'd ever seen or heard of John Cena.

Nah Cena was huge and is also Cena so I expected that to be ahead of him, and Rock is obvious now that I remember it.

Although I am shocked that Rock is #2. I guess I shouldn't be.

That Cena return was pretty nuts, since everyone thought he was still on the shelf. I don't remember reading about it before-hand, they did a really good job of keeping it a secret.

I'm kind of sad that Goldberg's arrival to WWE wasn't on the list, that was huge to me at least when I saw it, the crowd popped big for him, and the way he took Hollywood Rock out to set their feud up was legendary.

I think he would have been in Sting's spot if they weren't pimping Sting for his return. I don't know if I would qualify the entire year-long Crow run leading up to Starrcade as a single "return."

Saying that guys were so surprised to see Cena at the Rumble they forgot to boo him really hit the nail on the head.

Next week's Rewind is Orton vs. Angle vs. Rey. Interesting choice. Was that match even good? I know nothing about it other than it was the start of Rey's bad title reign.

I've always thought it was as an extremely good match that could have been fantastic if they had given it more than 10 minuntes.

Catching up on Countdown: Celebrities, and Hearing Jericho say "Bob Barker is a son of a bitch, and I'll fight him anytime, anywhere" is the best and makes me oddly nostalgic for the guest host era even though I know it mostly sucked


E: And Russo is still unapologetic for putting the belt on Arquette, ahahah

To be fair, they do a ton of crazy poo poo in the Mall of America. It's not just "a mall." That whole section is used for big events. I once met the Ninja Turtles there, and a week ago they had a giant Nintendo thing set up. They've also held concerts there before. I'd say the first episode of Nitro is probably on about the same level as an Avril Lavigne show, honestly.

Wow, this Outsider's Gang War segment is great. Jimmy breaking up the main event, Mysterio going for a crossbody out of the trailer, Macho hanging off the limo while they escape, this is pretty griping. No wonder people were so into this.
