Jose Mourinho could only stand and watch on Sunday as his Manchester United side were humiliated on his Premier League return to Stamford Bridge.The Portuguese maestro is still regarded as a Chelsea legend after guiding the club into uncharted territory, and admitted that it would be hard to keep his emotions under control in the build up to the game.However, things could be much worse -- here are five of the most shockingly bad managerial returns in football.Pep GuardiolaDear oh dear, where do we start with Pep Guardiola? Barcelona have dished out two counts of revenge on their ex-boss.The first came on?May, 6 2015, when he returned to the Nou Camp as an opposing manager with Bayern Munich. His side were thrashed 3-0 -- thanks to a late Lionel Messi brace in the?Champions League semifinal.Guardiola gave it another go in the Champions League group stage with his Manchester City side on?19 October 2016, only for the English side to lose out 4-0. Messi with a hat trick, this time.Harry RedknappHarry Redknapps shock switch across the south coast from Portsmouth to Southampton in 2004 has been described as one of the biggest betrayals in English football.There was absolutely no way Portsmouth were letting Redknapp leave with anything on his return to Fratton Park, as they hammered their fiercest rivals 4-1 on?April, 24 2005.?Just to rub salt in the wound for Southampton fans, Redknapp lead the club to Premier League relegation that season, and then made the switch back to Portsmouth. Bizarre.David MoyesEveryone is aware of David Moyes miserable tenure at the helm of Manchester United. However, not everyone remembers the wonderfully ironic way in which he was sacked.His last game before United pulled the plug was on April, 20 2014, a 2-0 loss at Everton, the club where he spent 11 years as manager.George GrahamArsenal and?George Graham achieved great success together in the nine years they spent together between 1986 and 1995.He led them to two First Division titles, two League Cups, one FA Cup and one?UEFA Cup Winners Cup but was sacked?after it was discovered he had accepted an illegal £425,000 payment over a player in 1992.After serving a year long ban form the FA, Graham ended up at Leeds United, and returned to Highbury on?October, 26 1996 where Arsenal ran out as 3-0 winners.Glenn HoddleGlenn Hoddle is best known for his time at Tottenham as a player, but he later managed the north London side between 2001 and 2003.Inbetween he had a stint at Chelsea as a player manager, guiding them to an FA Cup final in 1994.?He didnt enjoy the best of returns to Stamford Bridge as Tottenham manager, with Chelsea running out as 4-0 winners on?March, 13 2002.But it doesnt always go wrong...Tim Sherwood was sacked by Spurs, only to return to White Hart Lane as Aston Villa boss and grind out a 1-0 win on April 11, 2015.Sam Allardyce is something of a legend at Bolton Wanderers, having managed them from 1999 to 2007. Having moved to Newcastle United, the fixture list saw him return to Greater Manchester within a week. It was a happy return, his new side running out comfortable 3-1 winners.Paul Lambert likes going back, too. His Norwich side thrashed Colchester 5-0 in Jan. 2010. Incidentally, five months earlier in the reverse fixture, Lamberts Colchester had stuck seven past Norwich -- a result that probably got him the Carrow Road job. Having left Norwich to manage Aston Villa, Lambert returned to Norwich in Dec. 2012 and won 4-1.And sometimes going wrong can still work out alright...Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish returned to Anfield on the final day of the 1994-1995 season with his title-chasing Blackburn Rovers. They fluffed their lines, losing 2-1, but it didnt matter because rivals Manchester United had drawn 1-1 at West Ham to hand the trophy to the Ewood Park club.

But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse.

Baseball Jerseys Outlet . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. For any former amateur wrestler trying to make a name for themselves in WWE, it is hard to escape the huge shadow cast by Kurt Angle.An Olympic gold medallist in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Angle transitioned to the world of professional wrestling in 1998, becoming a six-time WWE champion and a household name of the Attitude Era. He paved the way and has been the measuring stick ever since -- no one from the amateur ranks has come close to matching his accomplishments in a WWE ring.Jason Jordan and Chad Gable, the upstart Smackdown Live tag team duo known as American Alpha, could be the first WWE superstars to buck that trend.Kurts a huge inspiration, Jordan admitted to ESPN on a conference call to promote WWEs upcoming European Tour, with Raw and Smackdown heading to Glasgow, Scotland, in November.American Alpha is one of WWEs hottest tag team acts, having enjoyed a meteoric rise from Performance Center obscurity to capturing the NXT Tag Team Championships at Takeover: Dallas over Wrestlemania 32 weekend in April. Given the crowd reactions they received and the quality of matches they put on in WWEs developmental promotion, it was only a matter of time before they earned a call-up up to the main roster. And sure enough, they were duly drafted to Smackdown Live in July.Their amateur backgrounds --?Gable wrestled for the United States at the London 2012 Games, while Jordan attended Indiana University where he became a three-time national qualifier for NCAA at the Division I level -- have seen them draw not just favourable comparison to Angle, but also likened to his former proteges, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. That pair burst onto the WWE scene in 2002 as part of Team Angle and would later call themselves the Worlds Greatest Tag Team, with a gimmick centered around their amateur proficiency.Angle himself is a huge fan of Jordan and Gable. Having departed TNA Impact Wrestling in January, he talked up the possibility earlier this year of a return to WWE as a mentor to American Alpha.Im 47 years old. And thats why those guys would be perfect as my team, like a Team Angle, because they could do the wrestling for me until the big one comes, he said?in March. Ive watched them wrestle and theyre really good. I could do the big matches; the SummerSlams and the WrestleManias. I think that would be a good mix. And it would also give them a great rub, a rub that they need.But Jordan insists he and Gable are intent on forging their own path.I grew up watching Kurt and so Ive studied him a lot and figured out what it is that made him so great, what made him so amazing to watch, Jordan told ESPN. So trying to make sure that I picked up some of those things, but at the same time being myself, because I never wanna try and mimic somebody else. I wanna be myself and be the first Jason Jordan. I dont wanna be the second Kurt Angle.And its the same concept where we always get a lot of comparisons to the Worlds Greatest Tag Team. We wanna be the first American Alpha. We dont wanna be the second Team Angle or Worlds Greatest Tag Team. Weve worked so hard to get to where we are, and we feel like were unique and different. Yes there are similarities but were still different. As much as we look to Kurt, and as much as Ive studied him and been a fan of Kurt Angles, hes been an influence, but its nice to have a little bit of a separation between us.Jordan and Gable are primed for success in Smackdowns tag team division, but it was only fewer than 18 months ago that both were floundering in NXT with no direction. For Jordan, a tag team with Tye Dillinger had failed to catch fire at Full Sail University. They were split up in February of 2015 and both had to go back to the drawing board at the Performance Center again.?It was nothing new for Jordan, who had been with WWE?since 2011 at their former developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling. He addmitted it crossed his mind in the past that he might never make it.ddddddddddddThere was definitely the thought, said the 28-year-old. I was always confident in my ability, I was always confident in the talent that I had, and I felt WWE was a very good fit for me. After it didnt happen for a couple of years and I had a knee surgery and everything, there were times I had doubts. Not that it wasnt gonna happen, just that maybe it wasnt the right time and maybe I had to take a step back and really find myself before I can move forward and be successful in WWE.But just trying different things and really searching to be myself and be comfortable with who I am and letting the world into my background, and whats gotten me here to this point, that removed all doubt. When I started tagging with Chad Gable, we knew it right away that there was something special here between us. We had this chemistry, and that really allowed me to bring out my personality and be who I am and let everybody see what I have to offer, and that allowed me to bring myself to a whole other level. From that point I feel its been skys the limit.Its been an incredible ride and a lot of fun. It helped me move past that point of having any doubt. Its a struggle, extremely difficult. This is the place to be. Everybody wants to get to there from NXT. Everybody is hungry and chomping at the bit and trying to figure it out. Its very possible you can get lost in the shuffle. I feel like maybe for a little while I was at that point where I was kinda getting not necessarily overlooked, but in the mix, among the middle of pack. Now I feel like I definitely rose to the top there. Its been a pleasure and its been a journey, but I wouldnt trade that for anything in the world.Jordan has endured plenty of personal struggle in his life; he revealed on the WWE Networks Performance Center-based documentary series Breaking Ground last year that all three of his older brothers have been incarcerated.I was always close with them, had ups and downs with them, Jordan said. But theres a brother-like relationship with me and Chad. Its definitely something special and Im glad to be a part of it. Its pretty obvious to see -- a lot of people see that. Its not like, lets see where it goes. Were dedicated to staying together and making sure, when you look at WWE history, that we want to be ones that stand out; that this tag team American Alpha, they are arguably the best tag team, period. In order to do that you have to have that legacy. Were building that legacy now. Were looking forward to continue building on it. Long story short, we plan on staying together for a very, very long time.Jordan put attending dental school on hold after graduating college, in order to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler, and admitted winning the NXT tag team titles was just reward for all of his hard work and sacrifice.?That was an amazing feeling. So many times throughout my life that Ive worked so hard for a thing, then been so close to achieving the goals that Ive set, and fallen short sometimes, he said. To have people constantly telling me, Dont worry, hard work pays off, hard work pays off -- you hear it, and you wanna see the results, so that you can truly believe them.And that was just literally everything coming together where it was, You know what? Everybody was right. Im so happy that I didnt get lazy, that I didnt get complacent, and I continued to put in the effort, continued to put in the hard work, and tried to make sure that no matter what happened, at least I can walk away saying that I gave it my all.But for everything to finally work out, to achieve our goal and achieve our dream, and to win the tag team championships in NXT, it was the best feeling of my career to that point.
