Match of the Day - It's not Slater time.
Heath Slater vs. Vader - Monday Night Raw (2012)
Despite the constant plugging of Raw's 1000th episode last year, we did get to see Heath Slater, the super jobber of the WWE get squashed for a few by returning legends who actually looked in good shape for their age. Albeit there were some segments of rookie Heath Slater versus veteran superstars from the past that weren't all too great (sorry Lauper), but for the most part this was a relatively good concept.
On this particular Heath Slater squashing, the "One Man Band" would take on the returning big man, the man they call Vader - no stranger to this blog. But not only was this Vader's first match on Raw since 2005, no no no, this was Vader's first time seen on TV since before being in a coma for 30 something days in Japan, causing him to lose 112 pounds and to subsequently turn his life around. And while Vader has had countless surgeries on his knees and the rest of his body, he still could move in the ring with the lightweight rookie of Heath Slater.

Returner: Vader to WWE.

Match of the Day - Johnny Saint returns 10 years later!
Johnny Saint vs. Johnny Kidd - LDN Legends Showdown (2007)
In 1996, Johnny Saint, the master of reversals and World of Sport legend wrestled his retirement against Naohiro Hoshikawa in Michinoku Pro Wrestling. However, this would not be Saints' last match. It would just be his last match for over 10 years! Saint returned to the ring once more to compete for the British indie promotion, LDN Wrestling where he faced up against another former World of Sport alum, Johnny Kidd at LDN's Legends Showdown in 2007.
Despite being away from the ring for over a decade, Johnny Saint looked and performed just like he had all those years in the World of Sport era. Here's to the man of a thousand holds!

Match of the Day - Who's the real Midnight Express?!?
The Midnight Express w/Jim Cornette vs. The "Original" Midnight Express w/Paul E. Dangerously - NWA Main Event (1989)
After Paul E. Dangerously brought in the original Midnight Express team of Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose to Jim Crockett Promotions, it was only appropriate that they would go after the newly turned babyface team of Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane, AKA the current Midnight Express at the time. The feud quickly became a heated battle of who is the best Midnight Express pairing - the original or the current.
Unfortunately, due to Dennis Condrey's departure from JCP in the midst of this feud, the battle of who's the real Midnight Express just fizzled out rather than ending with a bang. Still, there's always this match from Main Event that best portrays the feud that really could have been momentous!
