I read somewhere that Outback Jack is now legally blind and has pretty much completely divorced himself from the wrestling business.
I think there's a lot of guys out there who have just moved on and aren't interested in coming out to embarrass themselves on WWE for a few bucks.

Even before I started reading about Meng's bad-assery. I already assumed he was a tough sunavabitch. You can look at some guys and just tell.

I imagine with some guys it comes down to them having full time jobs. Haku works the car dealership, Luke runs a gym, Ax was a school teacher, Smash has two businesses and Gang was or is a prison guard. From reading the WWE "Where Are They Now?" we often see a lot, if not all, the featured wrestlers have full time jobs. Aside from an occasional "anniversary Raw" or Wrestlemania skit, now we generally only see the guys who are contracted with WWE of the biggest of the big names.
It would be interesting to have seen Haku or Harley Race at younger age during the Brawl For All competition. Whether it was boxing or true fighting without gloves I think either guy could have taken it.

Harley Race is tough. Haku is the freaking Hulk. I've read so many stories of him being the go-to guy if a group of people threatened to beat a wrestler's ass. Jericho once mentioned Haku having his back against the Yakuza.

Harley is going to see this thread and cry. Meng is going to give us all a good deal on a car. That's one car salesman who you never wanna try to haggle with.

Haku doesn't carry a gun so that crosses Harley out

Speaking of Haku, I wonder why they never him bring him back for any legend appearances, same with Akeem and Demolition. With so many 80's stars no longer with us, you'd think they'd be open to bring these guys back for old school raws or whatever. There's still a lot of rawness between WWE and Demolition over the lawsuits, or at least with Bill Eadie. OMG/Akeem had a heart attack years ago, probably one of the reasons they don't bring him in. That said, I get what you're asking. There's a ton of guys from the 80s who didn't leave on the worst of terms and are memorable that just never get called back. Hell, when was the last time the Bushwackers made a cameo? Is Outback Jack still out there somewhere? Mantaur? OMG pretty much only works shows when he wants a vacation from home. Been told by lots of local promoters that usually every 4 months or so he gets in contact with them. He is still a prison guard somewhere in LA.
