Not that into it. Sure it would pop the Philly crowd, but it most likely won't lead to anything long term.

'Surprise returns' that are basically a one-off thing don't do anything for me anymore, sure it's alright for the nostalgia but most of the time they only last a minute or two. I know that they have no chance of winning, but I just don't see the logic behind wasting a spot on something that barely lasts instead of utilizing the full current roster.

This is simply the entertainment value of WWE. It's not always about who will last long or who's a current star, it's sometimes about you having s moment to cheer for someone/something that you haven't been able to cheer for in a while. It's about having a superstar you haven't seen in ages show up and fight one of your favorite current talents.

Better than having an El Torito and Hornswoggle do a comedy spot.

I see where you're coming from, but would you rather see Team 3D face off against a team like the Dust Brothers instead of someone like Cesaro not having a shot in the Rumble? I know that it depends on which legend it is but for me personally there isn't anyone that could return that I would be excited for since most of them are dead, or already pop up semi-regularly.

As if they didn't already set it in motion, that along with Kofi saving himself with a couple of innovative ways are probably the only things set in stone.
