It's probably because we've been spoilt over the years with surprise returns, whether it's legends returning, a surprise nxt appearance or just someone straight debuting like AJ did last year but I do really feel as though a big return was lacking in this rumble. I know people are going to say they needed to sell out so that's what they confirmed Brock/Goldberg/Taker but in my opinion they shouldn't have announced Taker at all. People know that Brock/Goldberg were going to collide in the Rumble so that right there is enough, just imagine if Taker was never announced and then his music hit like it did? Shit would have been incredible.
Speaking of Taker, I dunno if it was just me or not but he did not look good at all. Physically he looked fine but the way he was moving he looked crazy unbalanced. Just do the Cena match and get the hell out of here for your healths sake.
