Was more disapointed that Flair came out of retirement in TNA than marking out for it so it is Bryan's return for me.

Bryan's return, I was pretty pissed off that Flair went to TNA after stating he had retired.

Yeah don't think Flair showing up in TNA was that suprising or much to shout about.

Did anyone actually care that Flair came out of the biggest retirement ceremony in wrestling history to whore himself out and make enough money to cover his latest in a long line of loses/debts/marriages?

Bryans return actually had impact.

Nobody gave a fuck about Bryan back then, he hadn't found his niche in his comedy tag team role and was stlll playing underdog vanilla midget.

Also that Summerslam was awful.

I loved Daniel Bryan's return at SummerSlam. What made it so great was how unexpected it was, I don't think there were any rumours or leaks about his return at all.

This is a weak match-up really. Went with Bryan just because he came back, but the actually moment was underwhelming as fuck. He was great in that match though.

Truth is, no one cares about Flair anymore. His TNA debut was a facepalm.

Both moments were underwhelming and I didn't "mark" for either. But I'll vote Bryan simply based off the fact that he didn't spit in anyone's face like Flair did when he went to TNA

I've been a fan of DB for a long time, so I was quite pissed when he was released after the Nexus Invasion and Roberts Choke-out. Whoever mentioned the lack of spoilers is right, it was a complete surprise. They'd actually kinda led us to believe THAT NIGht that it was going to be Miz, right? Then the Bait and Switch. It was well done. If he'd been on the main roster more than 11 minutes before his return, it would have been pretty epic.

True Story. I marked a bit.

Flair should not only not come out of retirement that year, but should have retired 20 years before then.

Bryan gets this one by default, pretty much.

Flair debuting in TNA was a sad moment, he had the perfect sendoff with WWE so it was a shame that he decided to head to TNA. Daniel Bryan returning was a great surprise on the PPV, no-one predicted him as the last member of Team WWE so it was more of a mark out moment than Flair/TNA.
