EZ Money? I remember watching him as Jason Jett in WCW and thought he was gonna be the next big thing.

 

I watched his PPV match against Kwee-wee last week. Was a ton of spotty bullshit.

Being a white guy named Blackman is unfortunate for a variety of reasons. Trying to pitch a show where you follow your last name up with "bounties" is one of them.

Whatever became of Jeff Katz's WRP? Can't find anything online besides the stuff that has been up forever.

 

Last I heard, he had planned on giving refunds who gave to the Kickstarter campaign, and there was talk of releasing it on DVD at some point.

I was going to ask about Armando Estrada and Wiki-d him, turns out he was released in 2008.

 

What blew my mind is that he had an appearance in 2011 as Tyson Kidd's manager that I have literally no memory of, and he then remained under contract until 2012? That's bonkers!!  They must just forget they are paying dudes until the accounts dept goes through the books.

 

Acts Dept: "Hi Vince, we have all these salaries we are paying, perhaps you could clarify who these people are? JTG? Evan Bourne? Tyson Kidd? Yoshi Tatsu"

 

VINCE: "NOPE, DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, HEY, IS JIMMY YANG HERE, I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR HIM"

Meltzer recently said that WWE doesn't release guys any more, they just wait for their contracts to run out. It seems that this has been their policy for a few years now, although that doesn't explain why they would sign Estrada beyond one appearance. This also leads to the conclusion that JTG signed a 10-year contract.

How active is Kenny Dykstra nowadays? He must still be in his twenties, seems like the kind of guy who could pop up in Jeff Jarrett's new promotion if he's still wrestling.

 

Not sure if he's wrestling currently, but he's now a student at Nichols College in Massachusetts, where he's majoring in sports management and is a defensive lineman on the football team ...

He's also a published author, releasing an anti-bullying book for children last year ...

Someone told me that Al Madril will deny that he was ever a wrestler. This seems insane, but I guess not out of the realm of possibility. Anyone have any more knowledge of this?

 

I just checked with some folks that ought to know and apparently he is a nasty, bitter old man (not unlike the character he played in his last run in Portland). And yes, he refuses to talk about his wrestling past.

Whatever happened to Attitude Era staple Jim Dotson?  Was he a legit security guy or just some developmental guy that never fit in anywhere else?  I seem to recall him getting in a very brief angle with someone but never having a match.

I believe Jim Dotson was a legit security guy that the WWE wanted to train and wrestle.  IIRC, he had a brief "feud" with Steve Blackman that went nowhere because, in part, Dotson had no interest in becoming an in-ring competitor.

 

Not much info on him post-WWE, but if various other forums are to be believed, Dotson left the WWE in 2001 due to migraine headaches and vision issues and now lives in TN.

He's legally blind, too.

That didn't stop Stan Hansen.
