You see them pop up every now and then, with some of the appearances taking place in the annual Royal Rumble. The match is a great place for legends to show up, but now one of the all time greats is turning down the chance to return before he is even asked. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: AHA! Fans Believe They Have Solved Bray Wyatt’s Uncle Howdy Mystery During a recent interview with Bill Apter, WWE Hall Of Famer Ricky Steamboat was asked about a hypothetical offer to return for this month’s Royal Rumble.

It is special to see someone that talented wrestle a match, but now one of the best ever seems to be having some problems. During the latest edition of his DDT Snake Pit Podcast, Jake Roberts revealed that Ricky Steamboat was going through health issues.
