 What's good Josh boros back again with another video? So we're gonna check out ten WWE superstars who briefly revived an old gimmick Now sometimes wrestlers get into their retro bag And they may bring out a old gimmick or old character that they used to portray Back in a day to kind of I guess you say relive and bring back that nostalgia for certain matches The most recent one I can remember is when Edge tapped into his brood bag when he came out there to Confront Seth Rollins. I thought that was a very cool moment to bring out the brood You know saying the in the brooding himself. I thought that was pretty cool So we're gonna check this out by wrestling. Let me appreciate all the love and support Let's do this thing. It's not uncommon for an iconic WWE wrestler to decide to revert back to a prior gimmick This is usually a brief nostalgia run which reminds fans of the golden years of pro wrestlers careers It goes without saying that some gimmick revivals have been better than others For the gimmick revival to work There should be an obvious and compelling story to tell the gimmick and they shouldn't just bring it back They sell merchandise or give the wrestler something new to do But which times were they or join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 WWE wrestlers who revived an old gimmick They're saying see no one Get that off my seat, bro. Get that shit off my seat That's it Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive videos Also, check out WrestleMania.co.uk and a non-wrestling channel incredible Number 10, Edge. Since Edge came out of retirement in 2020 He hasn't experimented with one of his classic gimmicks when Edge was first getting started in WWE One of his first major angles was a storyline which led him teaming up with gangrel and Christian in the brood This table would become one of the most popular groups of the attitude era as a gothic vampire Presentation resonated with fans at the time They used to scare me out of the kids Fast forward to Edge's feud with Seth Rollins in 2021 and Edge would start to show signs of returning to the brood persona Edge would perform a bloodbath on Rollins and he would even hint that he's going back to a dark place Love it. Edge would even use the brood entrance at SummerSlam for his match against Rollins So great. Which was a nice surprise to fans So good. Since the SummerSlam match with Rollins, Edge has reused the brood entrance on several occasions So it's mainly used to enhance Edge's character and give his pay-per-view matches a big fight feel When Edge turned heel in 2022 and formed the Judgment Day stable The stable at first hand had a rather gothic undertone and clearly took inspiration from the brood However, just a few months after the stable formed Edge would revert back to the ever-so-popular rated-off superstar persona number nine Mark Henry I loved it man. Can we just say Edge and And Seth Rollins easily just fantastic feud that had just great From start to finish just great for my world champion Mark Henry has had his fair share of gimmicks during his career Perhaps the most infamous of these was his sexual chocolate persona that Henry had during Yatsudaira This will Henry turn into a ladies man and eventually have a child with Mae Young In 2010 Henry would decide to bring back a gimmick for one night only This would be at the old-school raw event and Henry would use the sexual chocolate theme It was great to see him use a classic persona, even if it was for just one night number eight JBL. When Brock Lesnar and Goldberg left WWE in 2004 WWE needed to create a new star Vince McMahon would look towards a PA member Bradshaw and the hope of making him a top guy Bradshaw would turn into John Bradshaw layfield and would be instantly thrown into a WWE title feud with Eddie Guerrero Which work was now a hateful villainous rich snob and they give it change work wonders He did JBL would even ascend to the top of WWE and WWE had successfully created a new top heel JBL family's success with his JBL persona He did revert back to his APA persona and a number of occasions The first of these was in 2007 when Hornswoggle had hired the APA for protection The APA would reform an appearance in 2012 and 2015 respectively Number seven Mick Foley. I will say this about JBL, bro He stepped up to the plate. I hated him and that was great Because he was just kind of lost in the shuffle way PA people, you know rocked with them You know he's with Ron Simmons, but bro when I tell you once he went to the I'm the rich guy Rich Texan, you know I'm saying all bro people hated him and that's what made it so good. His heel run highly underrated Other three faces of Foley element of Mick Foley's character meant that WWE could always go between three very different characters Whilst Foley would predominantly use the mankind persona during his full-time run in WWE He enjoyed the benefits of bringing back one of the other three gimmicks from time to time The cactus jack gimmick would be used randomly throughout the attitude era and the most well-known revival of the gimmick was in 2000 for Foley's legendary feud with triple age great In relation to dude love Foley decided to bring back this gimmick in 1998 for a feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin But he also returned to the gimmick for one night only on Royal 1000 Foley would also bring back the mankind persona in 2005. This was at taboo Tuesday pay-per-view And the mankind persona will be back for one match only number six Kofi Kingston 2016 the new day would take part in their segment which would see them enter the time machine when the new day member Kofi Kingston stepped out of the Machine it suddenly reverted back Kingston would be dancing along to his classic SOS theme song and would suddenly be talking in the Jamaican accent Kingston will come I remember he was so fake Jamaican But a brief promo which declared that the Jamaican sensation is back one more time and it looks like there's trouble in paradise It was a humorous segment that was a treat for fans that watched Kingston during the early days of his career number five Kevin Nash When rumors circulated in January 2011 that Kevin Ash was gonna make a surprise return at the Royal Rumble fans expected it to either be the NWO version of Nash or the Nash that was in WWE in 2003 However, what they got completely blew the roof off the arena Nash will revert back to his diesel persona The persona he won the WWE title with Nash using the diesel character received one of the loudest ovations of all time And it was clear that fans remembered and loved the character Even Nash returned to WWE once again in the summer of 2011 Yeah, we're using his standard Kevin Ash persona and the diesel character would be officially retired once again number four Bray Wyatt What are the top feuds during Smackdown and oh man the Bray Wyatt speculation? He's returning at this peer review He's returning at this show. He's returning. You guys y'all can't let it go Just just wait for him if he does return wait for him to return like y'all Boy, yeah, I hope y'all keep the same energy if he does return. I hope you guys Keep that same energy and keep showing that type of passion for him on the show if he does return like Jesus Y'all love y'all some brain. Bray's awesome. It's just we return little return Geez in the summer of 2020 was a few between the being Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman The two were previously members of the Wyatt family So there was a ton of potential in the feud One of the most memorable moments of the feud saw Wyatt revert back to his original persona The classic Wyatt was back along with his colorful shirt and fedora You look like you've seen a ghost Wyatt would declare as Strowman The segment received widespread praise from fans and it's rare that the WWE recognizes their own continuity Never mind devoting an entire segment to carry which was cool Which was very cool number three Hulk Hogan upon returning to WWE in 2002 Hogan was presented as a heel he'd be using his villainous NWO gimmick which had brought him great success in WCW However, WWE quickly realized that fans had no interest in him booing the fool. Yeah, they couldn't boo him. They tried Like they tried to keep him him, but it didn't work, bro. It didn't work There's it did not work. They think they couldn't they tried their best But it just didn't work, bro. I'm a WWE champion This all came to a head at WrestleMania 18 and Hogan showdown with the Rock the fans adored Hogan Yeah, so that Hogan became the default babyface in the match WWE just watching that crowd go crazy And just the goosebumps I got from watching that bro. The crowd just lost it They wanted the hoax to back, you know, they were forced to turn Hogan back into a lovable baby face And he would bring back the red and yellow for a nostalgia run which included him winning the WWE title for the final time in his career Number two John Cena. I believe it or not John Cena was almost fired from WWE before he debuted the Doctor of Thugonomics This character didn't just save seen his career But also propelled him into super stardom Did not know that cut humorous yet brutal pre-match raps on his opponents before his matches This became so popular that WWE had no choice but to turn Cena baby face Eventually WWE decided on Cena being the top guy in the company and this resulted in Cena dropping the rap element of his gimmick entirely Cena would actually bring back the gimmick on two separate occasions The first of these was in 2012 as he would revert to the Doctor of Thugonomics persona during the build for his match with the Rock at WrestleMania 28 Cena would also bring back the gimmick for a special appearance at WrestleMania 35 Which was one of the highlights of the entire pay-per-view The last appearance of the popular gimmick today is in the Firefly Fun House match at WrestleMania 36 And this would see Cena enter a weird time loop of experiencing all his prior gimmicks Number one the Undertaker Upon being buried alive by Kane at 2003 Survivor Series pay-per-view remember that Taker would be returning to a dark persona Whilst the American badass and big evil personas were popular It was clear that it was time for the Undertaker to bring back the classic gimmick This would take place at WrestleMania 20 as the Undertaker would return back to his supernatural Gimmick of the Deadman and even be joined by his legendary manager Paul Bearer What made this version of the Deadman work was that the Undertaker kept virtually the same moveset as he used during his AVA days Meaning that Taker could still have fantastic matches with anyone on the roster in 2020 The Undertaker was set to have his final match This would be a boneyard match against Styles and for his final match Taker brought back the American badass persona Completely broke down kayfabe barriers as AJ would call the Undertaker by his real name Mark Calloway This all this was so cool. I wish it could have been in front of our audience. This was so fucking cool, bro Like oh, I love this. This was state that that boneyard match was so fun If you haven't seen it go check it's just it's entertaining. It's fun as hell This was a huge deal as Taker had typically been reserved in breaking kayfabe in any manner Yeah, Taker clearly thought that it was time to do something new leading up to the match Taker would cut chilling promos which were a mix of his ABA persona the Deadman and Mark Calloway Yep This final work of the Undertaker received widespread praise from virtually all the WWE fans When the boneyard match actually came Taker had fully transitioned back to the beloved American badass Oh, that was such a good produced match for the time period it was in you know during COVID, bro You know whole lockdown. Oh, it was such a great produced match Easy a match. I can go back and watch it in the promos leading up to it. We're just fantastic, man So comment down below.
