There are literally no real nostalgia pops left in professional wrestling. The industry has been completely burned out.
I can think of a few nostalgia/surprise pops but they're very blue sky "never going to happen" things. But in wrestling, never say never.
>>18809148Honky Tonk During Gunther's IC rein would've been a big nostalgia pop
Kenny Omega in WWE.
Jim Cornette, used properly in the right surprise cameo spot, could get a really big pop.
Dean would get an earth shattering pop if he returned to the WWeinsteinEpstein
We need Mickie and Trish to win the women's tag titles, preferably by entering a tournament and winning it. Then we need them to split and have one last match against each other at a big PPV. It doesn't have to be WM, I'm thinking more of a Canadian show because Trish will win.
the big nostalgia pops would all be pg era guys now>evan bourne>ryback>zack ryder>eve torres>kelly kelly>sanntino>funkasaurus>hornswoggle
>>18809187He would get a standard "big pop". Earth shattering? Pfft. No one would care an hour later.
>>18809198Out of that list only Ryback has any real chance of making an impact. Kelly Kelly already does nostalgia pops.
One more run after he gets done playing mayor.Who should face him in his final match?
Maven
Who can win the big one for one last time for the big nostalgia pop, brother?
>>18809124>>18809148Lance Storm coming back and doing the "If I can be serious for a minute" promo would get a good pop. Anyway, I can think of a few that are highly unlikely to near-impossiblehighly unlikely>WCW Nitro edition of RAW (like "old school raw" but with Nitro)>Kane or Big Show returns for last runs>Kenny Omega in WWE>Hiroshi Tanahashi in WWE>Ryback Return that isn't a nostalgia one-offNear impossible>Batista returns for another run>Triple H gets in the ring again in any serious wrestling capacity >WWE/AEW collaboration show (for charity)>Any McMahon showing up in any non-WWE company in any capacity
>>18809261>Triple H gets in the ring again in any serious wrestling capacityIf he does, he would shoot die. No joke.
>>18809198Ryback and maybe Kelly Kelly.they're the only two that would bring a big pop
>>18809261He said yday it'd take 7 figures to do it. Somehow, I don't see TKO giving Lance millions to show up in Heroes Of Wrestling II.Only thing good to come from that show was Jake's epic 22 promo.
>>18809261>Hiroshi Tanahashi in WWEit would be a wet fart. no one knows him, and rightfully so
>>18809177He wouldn't fly in a plane to Lexington or Cincinnati, much less KSA
>>18809268That's the point anon.He'd pop the boys
Young Cucks are ALL WWE
>>18809261WCW Nitro nostalgia show seems like a very Triple H thing to do and there's no McMahon around to tell him no anymore.
>>18809295And they have already done >Great American Bash>Halloween Havoc>War GamesSo it's not like there's no precedent.
>>18809124Nostalgia pops were never supposed to be the bread and butter of a show.
>>18809417The territory system operated on the concept of wrestlers touring the country getting pops because they weren't around all the time.
>>18809198As an Airbourne fan I doubt he'd be remembered
>>18809439In some territories, yeah, I guess, but others would run the same towns pretty much every week. Memphis ran Memphis twice a week.
>>18809439>40 years ago, w--Shut the fuck up, boomer
I think we're about to get into the era of the re-cast. The Undertaker will return, but not being portrayed by Mark Calaway.
>>18809510That could be fun because they could have a few different guys portray the character before the spirit finds its host.
>>18809124Vince returns to WWE.
in 20 years there will nostalgia pops for YEET
Sunny when she gets out of prison
>>18810314This. It would blow the roof off the place. He would announce a Swerve Strickland vs the NXT Women’s Roster Reverse Gangbang match. Cole would scream into the mic “DAMN I LOVE BBC”
>>18809124That's why wrestling fans love Saudi shows because those niggers pop like popcorn whenever a member berry wrestler hits the stage
>>18809278cry piggie>>18809261>e-drones begging AEW to make them cool again
>>18809124all the greats that would get those pops are too old or are dead
>>18813085ok chud
Jericho WWE return
>>18809219this
>Enzo music hits
>>18809261>Hiroshi Tanahashi in WWEwho?
>>18809471more that the wrestlers would bounce between territories. they’d hang around a few months, then hit a few other places and come back a year or two later
>>18813136there has to be some wrestlers from the turn of the century still able to get a nostalgia popsandmanthe dudleyzthe hardysbig showbilly gunnshane mcmahonflair
>>18809213cardona lol
>>18814929Steamboat
>>18813085>cant understand the difference of japan vs america>patronizes a company that manages to harm their competition more than wwe/f ever did
>>18809169Maybe 8 years ago
>>18814929They'd get a mild pop sure. but there's no like official "returns" left. punk and aj were the last ones.
>>18809261>Hiroshi Tanahashi in WWEThat would get no pop.
>>18816606They'd just point to the sign and you'd think it was Road Warriors coming out in '87.
>>18814902Fuck you haroldtranny
>>18809167For who 78-year-olds?
>>18809261If we’re just talking a singular pop, the triple H thing could literally be one move and it would get a monster reaction
>>18813085As much as I love Tanahashi I doubt that he'd get a pop if he showed up in WWE
>>18809198santino gets huge pops when he shows up in NXT, he would get a gigapop on the main roster 100%
>>18809198Hornswoggle would get the biggest pop out of those
>>18809219i think WWE and maven were going to work together recently but they burned him and it fell apart at the 11th hour. at least that's the feeling i get from him and his content lately. now he's trying to get tony to hire him. i'm not sure how big of a pop he'd get in AEW.
>>18809124Ryback is the legitimate only return Monster Pop wrestling has left
