Companion to the company-switching thread.
Bunkhouse Buck lasting in WCW into the start of the NWO era.
Bobby Eaton pretty much being there until close to the end of WCW.
The Bushwhackers only left the WWF on the cusp of...well not the Attitude Era, but the rise of Austin.
Howard Finkel lasting way into the PG era of WWE.

The fact Val Venis, Hardcore Holly, and Scotty 2 Hotty were still there in 2007 or so confuses me.

Rick Martel wrestling at the 1995 Rumble comes to mind.

With the exception of Scotty, all of those lifted above were still in WWE until early to mid 2009.
Los Boriquas still being in WWE into 1998 is a mind-f*** for me lol

Tiger Ali Singh lingered on the WWF roster, occasionally even appearing on television, until like 2001.

obviously not a surprise he was still with the company at the time, but Gorilla Monsoon was still commentating for the WWF in the Attitude Era, as late as mid 1999, he only did b-shows for the international market but would surprise a lot of people still.
The Harris Brothers being there as late as May 1999 is surprising too

Los Boriquas still being in WWE into 1998 is a mind-f*** for me lol if you counted Super Astros show, which I understand some won't do, Savio left but the other 3 where still under contract until September 1999 wrestling as the group |

Even crazier is The Bushwhackers appearing during the Undertaker/Mankind Boiler Room Brawl. The winner of this IMO is Virgil in the 1994 Royal Rumble. Feels like 1991 was his heyday and that he was gone at the end of 92. |

I was watching One Night Only 1997 and Leif Cassidy still being there in September 1997 confused me. |

Dana Brooke being in WWE for almost 10 years despite never improving.
The best thing she ever did was when she did the Batista Bomb on Bayley and Alexa because Batista flirted with her

Moose in Impact. He's also been a heel for most of his time there.

Moose in Impact. He's also been a heel for most of his time there. He’s a never leaving guy at this point. He clearly worked out the math on what they’ll pay him and how long he will be able to work doing their schedule. He learned in the last several years how to go all out in the big matches…and work smart during the buildups. Guy has a great head for the business despite getting such a late start into it. |

Anthony Ogogo reminded me at the Wembley Show that he's still with AEW. There's an alternative timeline where aew were able to come to England sooner but and we got Ogogo Vs Cody rather than Osprey Vs Jericho. |

Lex Luger in WWF through the middle of 1995 as a midcarder while they were in the midst of a crisis for lack of main event talent always weirds me out.
