WWE fans didn't get to see a ton of Brock Lesnar and The Rock in 2012, but both part-timers' impact was huge.
Without them, John Cena'sWrestleMania 28 opponent, in all likelihood, would have been someone far less famous. Extreme Rules 2012 would have been short one vicious slugfest. PaulHeyman would have had a lot less reason to return.
The way the Miami audience exploded upon Lesnar's return to Raw may have been worth his asking price alone.
As for The Rock, it's clear that he has not returned to getting bodyslammed for a living full time. He's too big of a movie star to stick solely to the ring, but bringing him back in small increments was a great move.
The ability to draw from its past is one of the things that makes WWE great.
The Dolphins can't ask Dan Marino to come back for one more game. Michael Jordan won't be making any appearances for the Chicago Bulls.
2012 showed how in WWE's world, legends from years past can return, even if it is just temporary.
