Where are they now, the (nearly)forgotten heros of old.

Golddust

Now works for a comedy promotion that runs out of Florida called TNA. He walks around with a rat on a leash (no, not Terri) and acts all scary but in reality he's just Golddust,just a bit fatter and a bit more ****.

Hacksaw

Remarkably, inexplicably remains employed by WWE. Still caries a stick and shouts Hooo a lot and walks around with a vaguely constipated look on his face giving a thumbs up to no one in particular like a contestant in the Special Olympics. Like Golddust he's now a bit fatter and a bit more ****.

Hillbilly Jim presents a radio show and he's always at WWE organised events in the lead up to Wrestlemania

Fascinating stuff, here I was thinking that mayhap one of them may of had a sordid mystery death or some kind of seedy motel scandal. Cest la vie.

On another note though fair play to hillbilly jim, he always did have a radio voice...

I know there's a Bob Heenan thread on this but as of the last observer I got which was 2 weeks ago, he was still in a very bad way after his surgery. He must be in hospital close to 6 weeks at this stage and it didn't sound good.

It must be closer to eight, wasn't he in hospital for Christmas? I hope he makes it through alright

Is anyone else actually terrified at the thought that Hacksaw is still wrestling in 2008? he was over the hill back in 1990!

Yes. It's a complete joke. What purpose does he serve? It's not like a win over Hacksaw for a youngster translates as a decent push does it?

What purpose does anyone serve? Apart from a few guys, WWE could let go 90% of anyone from their roster and it wouldn't mean a thing.

Hacksaws a guy that shows up, puts his thumb in the air, shouts HO and might do a running tackle as a finish if your lucky. And I bet it's still over 18 years later on house shows.

Indeed it is, he gets a bigger reaction on Heat than anyone else it seems from the few times I've seen it recently

Umaga beating the dayights out of hima few weeks ago was very funny:D:D
Nobody does a squash match as well as umaga:cool:

Melion

Hacksaw is a regular on Heat, had a bit of a thing with Super Crazy a few months ago. Still as terrible as ever

moongoose

in saying about hillbilly jim does he not have some job with wwe, i think i heard something about him being a road agent or something like that a while ago.

Yeah hillbilly Jim is under a legends contract still , he is also a rep for WWe and turns up to events also. Not only that but he still looks in great shape :eek:

AlphaMale 3OO

No I'm still convinced Hacksaw is worthless. Vince, there IS loads of worthless guys on the roster but the thread is about heroes of old etc.

moongoose

maybe they keep some of the deadweight & "legends" around so they can do what they did to trips after the clique moment in MSG. remember him fighting henry godwin in the pig sty shortly after?

How is he worthless when he gets a bigger pop than half the bloody roster.

Charlie

I would be interested where the headbangers are.

Oh and also Ed Ferrera, surprised TNA in their infinite wisdom hasn't signed him up.

He's a terrible worker with a terrible look and a lame finisher, yet he gets the loudest pop on HEAT. I'd be happy enough if I never saw him again, but the live audiences seem to lap him up. Go figure.

Glen Ruth(Trasher) retired from wrestling. Charles Warrington(Mosh) wrestles occassionally in Florida.

He worked for them as an announcer when they first set up, but didn't last long.


Ah, wikipedia. Where would we be without you?

Just read this update, seems the healing process is going very slowly

Regarding the health of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, he is showing very slow improvement from reconstructive surgery on his jaw, which put him in a medically induced coma for a few weeks. Heenan is still unable to speak, but now communicates using a chalkboard.

Machismo Fan

I think Ferrera was only there until Don West got the hang of commentating (please no jokes of why is he gone then). Anyone who has seen/heard Don West on TNA's first show would know how bad he was and that he has come on quite well.

Because when I see him coming I tend to want to go do something else. And because citing the other thread you started, he's the type of guy that makes me embarassed to admit to some people I watch wrestling. He's fat, he's old and he's oh so bloody boring to watch.

To be fair he's on Heat. He's not main eventing Raw every week.

thats right i suppose.
