Raw 2002 Flair Vs Hogan for the WWE title. That had to be one of the most surreal matches I remember. The WWE had changed so much since they were last there so It's hard to believe that on the tail end of The Attitude Era two stars from a Bygone Era would be battling over the title.
Also seeing Ken Shamrock in a Smackdown arena was strange too. I believe he only ever wrestled once on Smackdown. We were used to him on Raw during his entire career.

I know it's more common these days but I think it was the 95 Rumble Rick Martel was there after being away for a few years and that was it. Similar to Greg Valentine in one of the Rumbles, 94? Maybe.

They did the right thing and updated his look for the police uniform to the swat team look. I really liked his return; it was a true shock. Never saw that coming. |

I agree I think he fit in very well; and it's shame little more didn't come of the run. It also had weird cultural statement from Bossman being in classic blue police uniform to a tactical uniform between the two decades. |

I'd say Bossman in the Ruthless Aggression era.

Earthquake 1994
Love Earthquake but he just felt out of place in 94
Still don't understand why he squashed Adam Bomb at Mania that year

Hollywood Rock in 2003 never felt right to me. The new tattoo, bald head, and new theme song was just super weird to me. I mean, he’s the Rock so he was still good but it was just too different for my taste.

Earthquake 1994 Love Earthquake but he just felt out of place in 94 Still don't understand why he squashed Adam Bomb at Mania that year He did feel out of place then and Typhoon just a few months later. I use the WM 10 match to show people complaining kliq held down Adam Bomb, that WWF had no plans for him. He got pinned by Marty Jannetty on a PPV, was #30 and didn't last long at the rumble and he was basically the SD Jones of Wrestlemania X. I know time constraints was the reason the match ran short but if they thought of Bomb as more they would have probably done the 10 man tag and had one of those guys take a 30 second pin. Bomb could be sacrificed and I guess WWF had bigger plans for Earthquake with a Yokozuna feud. I think Quake won the sumo match but probably he was supposed to lose at some point and realized what WWF wanted for him and he bolted again. |
