Yeah, they came close a few times. He was set to come back and join the Straight Edge Society but they axed it at the last minute. He was also going to be in a "Second Chance" season of NXT which could've been interesting but that of course fell through too. And loads of pitched return ideas that never went anywhere.
He could've fleshed out the midcard on one of the brands. He's 37 years old, but it's not like there's a ton of wear and tear on him. He took a year or two off after his initial WWE release and then worked OVW, ROH, and the indies. Doesn't have a huge amount of wear and tear. But it sounds like he's retired now anyway.
