Best returning wrestler of 2006

    As the title sugests which returning wrestler do you think has been the best?

    I think it has to be Finlay as he came back from a major leg injury and proved not only could he still perform at the highest level, but that he is one of the best wrestlers in the entire company. He helped Lashley a great deal in the ring as well as Batista and he is also main eventing PPVs. There was a US title win for him to boot.

    I think Sabu and Jeff Hardy did well too. In TNA I think Sting has been the best. He lost a lot of weight and has been willing to put over guys. Not to mention going through those thumbtacks...

    Your thoughts?

    I'd say Jeff Hardy the Ladder match with Nitro was brilliant especially when he tried the swanton onto the ladder and missed that had to hurt.

    Sabu
    have to opt for Finlay, he's been brilliant since his return

    Voted for Finlay. When I first heard he was returning, I thought WWE were gonna make it a complete mess with Little Bastard, but it actually worked out and Finlay has had some great matches!

    Second chioce would be Jeff, he seems to have buffed up a bit since the last time in WWE and continues to be a great wrestler!

    i voted for Jeff( although i have been a fan of him 4 years). But he has had some come back,if you look at his last few matches in TNA(before suspension(s) ) his matches were terrible. I was loving his feud with Nitro especially the ladder match and his match against Carlito at CS. even when Hardy missed the swanton on nitro Melina look quite scared.

    Has to be Finlay. Considering how long he was out of the ring, and the injury he had (possibly still has, I've never heard any talk about it since he returned), he has to be the top guy this year. He was always able to wrestle, but he hasn't lost it one bit

    I'd go with Finlay too although Jeff Hardy has done really well too.

    No doubt about it. Hardcore Holly proved that he is truly indestructible. The fella is about the toughest SOB you'd find anywhere in the world. His matches in ECW have been some of the best that brand have seen since its reinvention (not a hard feat, I know) and to be able to operate at that level after nature did her best to kill him, Spark Plug has to get my nod.

    went with sting on a purely nostagic standpoint.
    other than that, finlay finally got the push he has long deserved.

    notable mention to tatanka for pure entertainment value.

    By the way, this is todays thread of the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,640 ✭✭✭Gillie


    I would go for Finlay also - only because Edge is not in the list of options.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,640 ✭✭✭Gillie


    Sorry. Didn't read the title properly.

    (Wondered why Stiener was in it!)

    I went for the Stinger as well, same points as julep really. Must try and catch TNA on teh telly, seen it advertised on Spike TV in the US.

    Id have to go With Jeff Hardy myself, althought fairplay to Finaly, he has come along way, even tho i cant stand the way he wrestles..

    Went for Jeff cause i saw him in TNA and he was awful and then he came back to WWE and has preformed like he never felt WWE at all. Finaly has done well to get himself into main event status while still putting guys over.

    Another guy i think should be mentioned is Test. He has done well in ECW and i think he'll get the title soon (seen as Big Show is gone for a while). One thing i think he was done well is fit in. He just never seemed to fit in WWE. They just kept sticking him in storyline after storyline and none of them seemed to put him over or go well at all.
