Steve Lombardi was a WWF loyalist seemingly forever. Sometimes he would be in the ring twice per night, as himself and under a mask.

It never ceases to be strange to me to watch episodes of Nitro from like 1996-1998 and see Greg Valentine randomly pop up every once in a blue moon. You might have forgotten he was in WWE until 2005 as well:

I wish Cena threw him a bone and put the title up for grabs in a one off match on Cyber Sunday, Taboo Tuesday or whatever it was called.

Props to Funaki for staying on the payroll as long as he did. It pays to be a good jobber I guess.

IRS was in WWE up to 1995. In fact, he competed at the pre-show for the infamous 95 King Of The Ring against Savio Vega for the last spot in the tournament that was vacated by an injured Razor Ramon.

Was Ice Train's WCW run really uninterrupted from 1993 forward? I thought he left in 1997 and returned in 2000. I was surprised reading his wikipedia that he was with WCW so long. I don't remember him on TV at all after early 1994, losing to Ron Simmons and after that the first I saw of him was at earliest spring 1996 before the tag team run. If he was with them all that time he definitely wasn't on any TV shows, I watched all the TV shows.

Carlos Cabrera has been with the WWF/E for just shy of thirty years.

He spent a lot of time on and off TV but Tiger Ali Singh was there from 1997 to 2002

Pete Sanchez was an enhancement guy who started in Capitol Wrestling as a tag partner for a young Pedro Morales in 1963. He stuck around until 1992. Literally came into this thread to suggest this in the opposite direction! Also in the other direction, I was shocked when I found out Sunni War Cloud, who did various televised independents in the mid and late 80s was in the 1955 Parkhurst trading card set.

Bobby Eaton is someone I always think of as an eighties guy, but he made WCW appearances from it's very beginning all the way through to 2000.
His first match listed on Cagematch under WCW is alongside Stan Lane in a losing effort for the Tag Titles against the Road Warriors and his final, a losing effort against Chuck Palumbo on a house show some 12 years later.

I always forget that Val Venis stuck around in WWE until the late 2000s. Like, I always think that his stuff he did under his real name in like 2003ish was the last time he was in WWE outside of random appearances. Also, I never watched much WCW so it trips me out that Paul Orndorff was still wrestling in like 1999. I always picture him as an 80s WWF guy only. The end of Val Venis’ run was wild. Like, he was just a regular wrestler wearing some green trunks, but he still had the porn star music. And he would only ever wrestle on the online shows at the time. D’lo Brown’s cup of coffee in a similar role that same year also fits this bill. And Hacksaw Jim Duggan’s run as a semi-regular on Heat. 2008-2009 was a wild year in the WWE undercard. Val? Wild? Green? You don't say... I was recently knocked out to find Bunkhouse Buck matches within the NWO era.

The Pete Sanchez who did TV jobs in the late '80s and early '90s was not the same guy as the longtime undercarder.

WWF @ Palmetto, FL - Civic Center - May 20, 1994 The Bushwhackers defeated the Heavenly Bodies Koko B. Ware defeated the Genius Bastion Booger defeated the Cuban Assassin Duke Drose defeated Dave Heath Yokozuna defeated Typhoon (sub. for Earthquake)
The Bushwackers, Koko B Ware, Lanny Poffo, and Typhoon doesn't quite scream "New Generation"
