Who will be the last WCW alumni active?

[erisi236]

Since it's been 10 years now since WCW went under the numbers have been getting slim, but who do you think will be the last? Big Show? Regal? Mysterio? Someone else? Guys like Triple H and Undertaker would count as well.

[funkyjesus]

Wouldn't AJ Styles and Chris Daniels count then if HHH does?

[turkeysandwich]

Does Charles Robinson count?

[Crappler El 0 M]

I could see Chavo being a midcarder/jobber for as long as he wants to be. Undertaker's days as a regular performer are pretty much already over. Triple H will probably come back from time to time, but he seems to have moved on to the employee side of the company rather than the performer side of it. Big Show will probably be a regular performer longer than Triple H and certainly longer than Undertaker. Jericho can always come back for a run sort of like Piper used to do.

Chavo?

Depends if it's just reserved for WWE guys.

If it does count everyone, I could imagine AJ Styles being the last one left in a major promotion (Well, for however long TNA stays afloat anyway).

[molson5]

If we're counting everyone who wrestled in WCW, and anywhere they wrestled or remained active afterwards, you're probably looking at one of those young guys they brought in near the end who is barely even 30 now (Shannon Moore, Jimmy Wang Yang, AJ Styles).

[Crappler El 0 M]

Yeah, I figured he meant who will still be active in WWE the longest, but someone like AJ Styles, Shannon Moore, or Jimmy Yang would have to be considered if this just means active in wrestling in general.

[Captain Charisma]

jr? He is considered an athlete by the most influencial wrestler on social media article.
He has been more game time on PPVs this year than Zack Ryder (43 sec at the Royal Rumble) and Primo (no match time). Never thought I would write that at the turn of this year

[worldsstrongestman]

Ric Flair will wrestle until he's 200.

[froggyfrog]

It'll be Chavo

and still owe alimony payments.

[erisi236]

For a more in depth list anyone could use probably 3 categories.

1) Guys that last stepped foot in a WCW ring long ago but are pretty much WWE guys, Triple H, Undertaker

2) "The Invasion" group, guys that were there at the end of WCW or around the end that came over and have since become WWE guys, Jericho, Chavo, Regal ect

3) Guys that were in WCW, came to WWE, but have since left and are now in other promotion, Yang, Moore, ect.

Is it wrong that I never knew that AJ was an active wrestler in WCW, I knew Daniels had a few matches (was signed about a year but got injured in his second match correct?)

As far as just WWE wrestlers go then it is really a three horse face between Chavo, Show and Jericho. Although if we are just talking employment then obviously Triple H is likely to win...or Chavo could get a job in the back.

He'll be on wife #50 by then.

Don't worry. I think he debuted the same month WCW was bought out by WWE. I think he may have appeared on one Thunder and one Nitro. The product was so bad at that point that no one should be ashamed to have not known AJ was there.

kind of ironic vince wont push wcw guys to the moon, but triple h musta been the exception

[Citizen Zero]

The last episode of RAW will end with Chavo jobbing to a plastic trash bin.

It's a matter of whether or not someone became a big star somewhere else before coming to WWE. He had no issues giving a push to Stunning Steve, Cactus Jack, Mean Mark Callous, Diamond Studd, Vinnie Vegas, and Jean-Paul Levesque (Stone Cold, Mankind, Undertaker, Razor Ramon, Diesel, Triple H). It should be noted that Cactus Jack and Stunning Steve had decent WCW careers as Austin was U.S., tag, and TV champ and part of a major stable and Cactus was tag champion and had mini-feuds with Sting and Vader.

[The Blue Blazer]

AJ Styles (going under the name Air Styles) came in as a tag team with Air Paris.
