Big Boss Man appearing at a special guest referee at a house show in late 93 for a match between Bret and Jeff Jarrett.
Virgil appearing at a house show in 1995 I think. It was after the magazine said he tore his ACL.

The Sandman sticking around into deep 2007 always amuses me since he lasted longer than most ECW guys he brought in when you would probably expect him to lose his job pretty quickly. I forgot about his run on Raw lol They moved him from ECW, then realised what the f*** do we do with a guy whose only thing is hitting people with a stick.

He almost won a battle royal to be RAW's GM; Regal snuck out of the ring and then reentered when Sandman was all alone. Could you imagine if they had let Sandman become the RAW General Manager!?

Hornswoggle was still in WWE up until 2016. I can’t name a single thing that he did after his 3MB run.

Chavo's cruiserweight reign being ended by Jacqueline in 04 after disappearing from TV for nearly 6 months, her last two TV matches, one with Gail Kim and another in a tag match teaming with Trish, where she didn't amount to doing much. And even then the rest of the year sporadically appearing and mostly just jobbing out. While a fan, it was just weird to see her come out of nowhere after nothing for so long winning the cruiserweight belt.

Years after the NWO had ceased to be…again…Ed Leslie showed up on WCW Saturday night as The Disciple. He’d cut his hair, shaved his beard, wasn’t wearing the biker getup, it was a def moment if “he’s still around?” He was pretty much the Barber again, albeit as a heel. youtu.be/Y_7wt1zj43gAbout three weeks earlier he was still wrestling in the biker leathers, and as a babyface. There was no heel turn in between, he just reverted to the Barber gear and was wrestling against faces.

Glacier was still around in 1999 WCW. In Jan-Feb he wrestled 6 TV matches. 3 on Saturday Night, 2 on Thunder and 1 on Nitro. Then later in the year he got a new gimmick (Coach Buzz Stern) which went nowhere before being released in November. Didn't he come back in 2000 or 2001 (had to have been really early in the year) when he tried to act like a superhero when he was supposed to assist Norman Smiley on Nitro or Thunder? Also, while not on TV, I found out years ago that Yokozuna was still signed to the WWF until late-1998. I am aware that he was off TV so that he could lose weight but I didn't think he was still actually with the company during that time. When was his last appearance? Was it still 1996 or was it 1997? Wasn't he on the card for Survivor Series 1996?

Like marry Janetty and Corey Feldman, he is one of those people who has led a life life awesome thanI-but who I can also point at and tell myself “Well at least I’m not that guy.”

Sid at King of the Ring 1997. He was pretty much gone from tv after WM13, pops up in a random 6 man at that show, and is gone again after it.

He also was almost Vince McMahon's illegitimate son because they didn't realize one of their clues applied to him.

He also was almost Vince McMahon's illegitimate son because they didn't realize one of their clues applied to him. All of the clues fit him... I think they expected him to leave with a "This superstar is not extreme" clue... but... at that point Sandman was not on ECW he was drafted to RAW.

He made one more appearance on Raw in July, standing alongside Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, The Patriot, and Ken Shamrock in a segment with the Hart Foundation. There was also promotion for Sid vs. Vader at SummerSlam in the local market.

The best thing she ever did was when she did the Batista Bomb on Bayley and Alexa because Batista flirted with her Wait, what? Context please?

The Dungeon Of Doom finally dissolved in 1997. They were still around for a year after Hogan’s heel turn.
