Ace Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 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. Or Arn Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Whatever became of the guy from the Truth Commisson that teamed with Bull Buchanan. I always forget which one of them was Sniper and which one was Recon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 According to Wikipedia, Sniper is a nurse in Florida now and is "semi-retired" from professional wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 What about Chad Collyer? I always thought of him as a talented blue-collar guy that never really fit in in Ring Of Honor. Loved his theme music though. If ever there was a man out of time in the wrestling industry it was that guy. He could have made a mint in the territory days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 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. Does he talk about his time in Dethklok? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 That downs syndrome backstage interviewer that WCW used on a couple of PPVs in 1993. Awkward for all concerned, and dropped quickly enough and never referred to again? How? What? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I saw that when I was watching Fall Brawl '93 I think and it blew my mind. When Schiavone introduced him as a "very special friend to WCW" or something like that I didn't actually expect him to be mentally handicapped but it was just astounding when they had him interviewing Davey Boy. On the long list of weird, bizarre, and awkward choices that WCW made that really has to be near the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 For some reason I have it in my head that I read about a '90s episode of Memphis Wrestling where Sid had a face run, and brought out a handicapped kid from his neighborhood to talk about a charity/fundraiser he was involved with, introducing him along the lines of "here's my neighbor and friend who's gonna help me stay champion." When I first learned of the Scott Dunlap deal at Fall Brawl, I had always assumed this was the same neighbor kid since Sid was in the main event of this PPV and this was another favor for him to allow the kid to live a dream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Bugg Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Had to resurrect this thread because I just thought of one. Whatever happened to Mike Sanders, dude that was the promo guy in the Natural Born Thrillers in WCW? I know he made a few TNA appearances in their weekly PPV days, but after that I've heard of nothing from him. And speaking of early TNA, whatever happened to Sonny Siaki?

Guest Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Sedrick Strong? Thirteen years and ROH could never be bothered to bring him in for even a one-shot match against "brother" Roderick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I honestly thought Sedrick Strong had retired years ago (2005, say). Cagematch says he worked a regular schedule until the beginning of 2011. Looking at promotions he worked for - mostly Florida indys - I most likely have several of his matches from the late 00's on various DVDs. I remember none of them.

Wyld Samurai Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Are either Donovan Morgan or Michael Modest competing still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Modest might still be. According to Cagematch, Modest had about a dozen matches from 2011 to 2015, almost all in Las Vegas, where he was living, last I heard. His last was over a year ago, though. Morgan's last matches were in 2006, where he did a couple quick shots for TNA, teaming with Modest as La Migra, so he's likely done. I found one of those matches. Morgan had gotten pretty pudgy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
