*Mickie James is one of the best female wrestlers of all time and it’s such a damn shame that WWE never gave her the same respect like Trish or Lita. I really hated how they just made her Alexa Bliss’s lackey in her second run.*

I gotta admit. Rob Van Dam’s second run was terrible. Almost looked like he was treated as a jobber.

Don't forget about Ricky Steamboat. His second run in 1991 was short-lived.

John Morrison’s second run was very disappointing to me, definitely one of the most disappointing second runs ever, also Jeff Hardy’s third run

if you search on youtube you will find out the dudleys knew what they had sign up for. they were to help get other teams get over and knew they weren't getting the belts. and bubba says he was completely find with it and vince paid them very well

It was also weird for Del Rio that after he returned, they took away his trademark Cross Armbreaker and gave his new finisher being...a double stomp in the corner to a hanging opponent. It was awkward to set up and doesn't look as impactful as the cross armbreaker. Not to mention taking away Ricardo has his announcer and him entering the ring with different cards took away pretty much all the character he had.

Shelton Benjamin should be on this list.

EC3 definitely had a terrible second run in Wwe. I was hoping WWE Put the Intercontinental or the US championship with him or possibly the WWE universal championship after he had an excellent impact wrestling push.

When people retire in wwe they don't actually retire from wrestling.

its a shame that Age had caught up to Kurt Angle :(

Dudley Boyz final WWE run was indeed lackluster

John Morrison was done dirty too. He should've won a WWE World Title this go around.

The disrespect to Kurt Angle was criminal.

Does Kurt really count? He wasn’t necessarily someone who was a active competitor other than the occasional matches he was having.

Eva Marie is biggest waste of a comeback in WWE history!

I'm begging you to do "when wrestlers music is More over then the wrestler themselves".. IE Fandango, Bobby Roode and dare I say Nakamura

Mickie James should've been Women Champ for once atleast

Scott Steiner: AM I A F****** JOKE TO YOU?

For some reason I can't see the Dudleyz in a PG setting.

Regardless of what was said, RVD is still one of the best high flying wrestlers, who definitely put his body on the line! I remember I was a kid when he went won Cena’s title and was given the ECW title. Good times remembering “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor” song come on for ECW and have him come out each week! :)

It's a shame Gail didn't get a chance to compete in the WWE during the women's revolution era.

John Morrison, Shelton Benjamin, Chris Masters should be on this list too

Wish Kurt Angle's last match should've been against John Cena

0:45 Kurt Angle 2nd run was good, he was getting old. He knew he fell off after his match with Drew McIntyre during raw. Kurt Angle was a great gm, was apart of WM34’s greatest match.

The British Bulldog’s second run was depressing.

Gail Kim deserved so much more in the Divas era. They shouldve given her the Title at least once so that she can be a Champion again but nope Vinnie doing his same old stick by screwing anyone who left WWF/E only to return to screw them

What about Shelton Benjamin and John Morrison

I wouldn’t say Kurt’s second run was disastrous. He had some good matches and good moments dude was in his 50’s he’s not gonna he pushed as a mega star like he once was

Kurt should've wrestled Cena for his last match, I felt like The Dudleyz came back for nothing should've won the tag titles to me & Lord Tensai aka Albert aka A-train I knew he was gonna start dancing again.

Alberto Del Rio ruined himself in his second WWE run

Poor Albert

This could be a 3-5 part series

This was a pretty cool vid. Now you need to do one that has 10 Wrestlers who had Better careers after their first run. Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley come to mind.

Would Sable’s second run in WWE be considered disastrous? I barely remember her returning.

Mickie James should've had a SmackDown or Raw Women's title Run beating Becky or Alexa Bliss At TLC but they didn't want her to beat trish stratus title record

I wanted Kurt Angle to fight Rusev. But It never happen.

With Kurt Angle, it's not his fault, he was 48 the year he came back, and his age was catching up to him

EC3 had so much potential. His stuff on Impact/TNA was great. World champion caliber

EC3 NXT run is way better than his second WWE run atleast

So Kurt Angle didn't ever wrestle in that gold suit in the thumbnail?

This list really angers me. WWE actually managed to mess up with legends like Mickie James, RVD, The Dudleys, and Kurt Angle????

Tensai they should’ve just brought him back as A Train which he was a beast as.

You know this is an interesting video and I can possibly see you doing the opposite of this video where theyre 2nd run was better then there first run

A - Train is underrated

Okay but what does Kurt Angle have to do with The Conquistador?

Kurt’s 2nd run was more of a HOF run. Build up and pushover talent. He’s expressed that several times. Matt Bloom has also said when he came back, his run as Tensi wasn’t gonna last long. RVD was more fan involvement.

We're gonna forget Tony Atlas' return as Saba Simba because of how ridiculous and insensitive it was?

Who knew Sable would beat Eva Marie,Mickie James,and Gail Kim in terms of having a second run in the wwe. Certainly was memorable lol.

As a kid tensai was legit. Till he start dancing, I didn’t know his character from before

RVD is definitely in my top 5 wrestlers of all times‼️

Again it don't matter

Love your videos

Does Eve Marie count? Her first run was bad. Her second run was not only horrible, it was pointless after 4 months as she got fired. Edit: Never mind, I just saw her on the list.

Kurt Angle was a shell of his form self. He should have had one match vs Cena at a WM and that should have been it.

It kinda seems deliberate because many of these people were huge in other companies when they came back so by squashing them it hurts the reputation of the other companies in a few ways. The company loses there top players and it looks like the other companies have lesser standards and is just overall a small insignificant organization.

watched the ladder match with EC3, velveteen dream, ricochet, lars sullivan, adam cole, and someone else I can’t remember, and could tell EC3 was a talent, classic wwe to waste good nxt talent by burying on main roster lol

And the worst part about them sending her stuff in a trash bag was it wasn't even all her stuff some of it was Natalia's

Kurt was an old man

Lashley and Lesnar had the best second run

Rob Van Dam recently wrestled at a rink in my very tiny rural Canadian hometown in nova scotia, guess that’s where his career is now, was still an absolute wwe legend, I was totally shocked when east coast wrestling announced he was coming, he still puts on a great show

They did the Dudley Boyz so dirty.. ain’t give them 1 W smh

Kurt Angel's 2nd WWE return should've been sooner than in 2017 it should've been around the time when he was with TNA Impact

BIG props to John Cena for putting over random rookies who would never even get a proper push

Still disapointed on the Dudley Boyz, Still remember how hype I was when those pyro technics started, they should've won the title against the New Day, they should've been the one to stop their Tag team title run.

The funny thing about Del Rio, was how all the hardcore fans acted like they loved him, when he basically was hated for quite a while, and was rarely getting reactions. He leaves, returns, suddenly they all loved him, but it wasn't before long he got back dull and boring. He was a good wrestler, but I never quite was drawn to him.

Jeff Hardy for sure. Now that AEW and Matt got involved; I'm certain his next run will be memorable 🤘💯

Your varied content and work ethic is insane WL

Apparently WWE never learned with Eva Marie. She was always just a pretty face and nothing else. I can even remember how back in 2014 she had two wins in a row against AJ Lee as the company's feeble attempt to put her over. No offense to Alexa Bliss who has proven to be among the most talented entertainers in the company but Mickie James did not deserve to be anybody's lackey. Also the company was dead wrong for treating her belongings like garbage by putting it in a garbage bag.

How could you leave off Batista?

Everytime I see EC3 I always think “where is EC1 and 2?”

they really did Mickie dirty in her comeback first they make fun of her weight then they make fun of her age and have play 2nd fiddle to alexa bliss

Kurt Angle's second run would have been fine if he stayed out of the ring.

Well about EC3 The Real reason and the more Realistic Situation with him being Buried after the feud with dean Ambrose AKA Moxely, was that EC3 was reportedly filing for some trademarks that’s WWE didn’t like or cared for at all. And that I was told was the real reason why EC3 was Demoted and removed from TV.

i thought Kurt Angle was gonna end up being the manager for American Alpha and then WWE would have AA turn on Angle and start a heel run.

Is this reupload

Didn't remember test and Albert winning any tag team title as it was said.

Hi love you vids

T & A never held the tag titles. Please get your facts straight next time.

No Scott Hall? Surprised by this. Guy had only a handful of matches before being legitimately wheeled out the door.

Here's my list 10. EC3 9. Mickie James 8. Kurt Angle 7. Tensai 6. Alberto Del Rio 5. Gail Kim 4. D'Lo Brown 3. The Hardy Boyz 2. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamoboat 1. The Dudley Boyz

Jeff Hardy should be on that list as well let’s not forget how they had him chase for the 24/7 championship

RIP Ultimate Warrior

What about tatanka? From a 2 year undefeated streak to being thrown in a random tag team

Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey vs Triple H and Stephanie McMahon actually worked and made sense and was a perfect return for Angle.Kurt Angle and John Cena at WrestleMania 35 would be the final match with John defeating Angle and finishing the story in a perfect way.Tensai should’ve been pushed greatly and having Tensai win the World Heavyweight Title would’ve been a perfect end for his character and career.Alberto Del Rio deserved better and having a proper WWE US Title reign would be amazing with Alberto helping to get other wrestlers over.

Kassius ohno is definitely one that should be on here

Bobby Roode was also one of the best wrestlers in the beginning of his career but vince destroyed his career. 😞😞

Angle's 2nd run itself wasn't bad. Everything was going pretty decent plus the Jason Jordan storyline was starting to pick up more and more heat each week purposefully. Then the Corbin feud happened and it put a damper on it

Morissons run was a bit lackluster

Kurt Angle, RVD, Dudley’s, Batista, Mickie James, Gail Kim, Del Rio, Shelton, John Morrison, Rhyno, Hardy Boys, Christian (yeah he won the WWECW title and the WHC for a second but his second run was disappointing), Jinder (it was good for him but bad for us). So yeah they all come to mind with bad second runs in WWE. Good second runs, Lesnar, Lashley (it was originally bad but MVP saved him), MVP, Drew McIntyre, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Jericho, Goldberg (it was originally good but he overstayed his welcome), Rock, Hulk Hogan, William Regal (he originally debuted in WWF back in 98 and was later released, then he came back in 2000), Umaga. They all come to mind with good second runs.

You also need to add auska in the list

Did you do something different with the background music here? I constantly felt like there must be some annoying commercial popup in the background or something.

Surprised that Batista isn't on the list

Mickie James was working as a part-timer, used to give a rub to the then up-and-coming Alexa Bliss.

4:49 CORRECTION: Mickie James made her WWE return at NXT Takeover: Toronto 2016, failing to take the NXT Women’s Championship from Asuka.

The way WWE treated some of their legends was just so disappointing. RVD, The Dudley’s, Mickey James. These were huge attractions that, if treated right, could’ve really been something. But times don’t change, because Carlito is back and I’ve not heard once about that man even being close to US/IC title gold. He’s not jumping the main event but that man was a brilliant secondary champion

Warrior's 1996 return was his 3rd run

Still trying to figure out how Eva Marie was given a first run.

"They made up for it by having her in the rumble" 😂 oh yeah they said here's some hush money now stfu Sure that's making it up

Next you should do a top 10 with the best second runs in WWE

Albert/Tensai never won the tag titles in WWE.
