WCW Greed: Where Are They Now?

WCW Greed: Where Are They Now?

May 9, 2026

By Ryan Porzl

If you know your wrestling history, 2001 was a dark year in American wrestling as two of the big three names in WCW and ECW both shutdown leaving the WWF the only game in town. WCW's downfall has especially been analyzed many ways over the decades and for good reason. In less than five years, WCW went from being #1 and nearly driving the WWF into bankruptcy to losing all their momentum, becoming a joke, and ultimately bought out by the same WWF. On March 18, 2001, just five days before Vince McMahon declared checkmate in the Monday Night Wars and bought WCW, the promotion would have it's final PPV called "Greed". March 18th marked 25 years since that event so like with Guilty As Charged 2001, I decided to see what happened to the participants of this memorable event.

Tony Schiavone

Background: Legendary announcer and producer, Schiavone first entered wrestling in 1983 for the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions after previously working for the Crockett Family's Charlotte O's minor league baseball team. From 1985-1989, he rose to be one of the promotion's top announcers calling the TBS World Championship Wrestling show as well as PPVs with David Crockett and Jim Ross. From 1989-1990, he joined the WWF calling the promotion's Wrestling Challenge show with Gorilla Monsoon as well as the Summerslam 1989 and Royal Rumble 1990 PPVs with Jesse Ventura. In 1990, he returned to JCP or NWA (which eventually became WCW) as an announcer and backstage producer. After the departure of Jim Ross in 1993, Schiavone rose to become WCW's top play-by-play announcer for the remainder of WCW's history calling shows such as Monday Nitro, Thunder, and Saturday Night as well as monthly PPVs with a variety of names including Ventura, Bobby Heenan, Mike Tenay, Larry Zbyszko, and Mark Madden to name some.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Schiavone would call the last Thunder on March 21st and the last two Nitros on March 19th and March 26th before the promotion was bought out by the WWF. After WCW, Schiavone would not return to the WWF and would briefly work for the short lived XWF promotion in late 2001. After it failed to catch on, he largely left the business for fifteen years outside of one appearance for TNA in 2003. Outside of wrestling, Schiavone would host morning sport radio shows and returned to announcing minor league baseball for the Atlanta Brave's AAA team the Gwinnett Braves. In 2017, Schiavone returned to wrestling as the play-by-play announcer for the revived Major League Wrestling where he would remain for two years. Since 2019, Schiavone has worked for All Elite Wrestling as an announcer and interviewer for their shows and PPVs while previously co-hosting a podcast called "AEW Unrestricted". Also since 2019, Schiavone has hosted his own podcast "What Happened When" with Conrad Thompson which covered events during Schiavone's time in WWF and WCW along with watching old events. In 2021, he released his autobiography "Butts In Seats: The Tony Schiavone Story". He was awarded the Gordon Solie Award by the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2024.

Scott Hudson

Background: Longtime WCW announcer, Hudson started in the wrestling business around 1990 where in the early 90s, he worked for the Texas based Global Wrestling Federation. He joined WCW around 1995 spending the first several years working the C and D level shows like Saturday Night, Worldwide, and Pro. By 1999, he began to move up calling Thunder and eventually Monday Nitro as well as the Pay-Per-Views.

Where Is He Now?: After WCW was bought out, Hudson would be picked up by the WWF when the hope was WCW would have it's own show. Hudson would call WCW matches during WWF TV shows with Arn Anderson before parting ways at the end of 2001. After his WWF departure, Hudson worked the indie circuit including NWA Wildside. From 2003-2004, he worked for TNA as a backstage interviewer and fill in announcer. After leaving, he did some shots for Vince Russo's short lived Ring of Glory promotion in 2005 before largely retiring. By 2007, Hudson would make the occasional appearance usually on indie shows with his most recent gig being in 2022. Also in 2022, he returned to TNA for Slammiversary 2022 which celebrated it's 20th Anniversary.

Background: Self trained wrestler who turned pro in 1990 and worked the independent circuit for a decade most notably doing prelim work for Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling. He debuted for ECW in 2000 as "EZ Money" where he formed an alliance with Julio Dinero, Chris Hamrick, and Elektra called "Hot Commodity". After ECW's shutdown, he signed with WCW where he was repackaged as "Jason Jett" and competed in the cruiserweight division.

Where Is He Now?: After WCW was bought out by the WWF, Jett would be picked up and worked for WWF developmental Heartland Wrestling Association for a year where he became a two time HWA Heavyweight Champion and reverted back to the "EZ Money" name before being released in the summer of 2002. After his release, he returned to the indies and made a handful of appearances for TNA and Ring of Honor in late 2002 to early 2003 until retiring in late 2003 where he took a job as a tailor and designer for wrestling attire. Since 2005, Jett has resumed wrestling sporadically over the next twenty years, usually under the "EZ Money" name, wrestling for a few years before taking a few years off at a time. As of 2026, Jett is still active with his most recent match on record being in November 2024.

Kwee Wee

Background: WCW wrestler, Kwee Wee debuted in 1996 in the indie circuit under his real name Allan Funk before joining WCW in 1998 where he trained in the Power Plant. In 2000, he was packaged as "Kwee Wee", an eccentric gay wrestler who wore pink.

Where Is He Now?: After WCW was bought out, Kwee Wee would be picked up by the WWF and assigned to HWA for seasoning as both under the "Kwee Wee" name and under a Hulk Hogan parody gimmick named "The Funkster" before being released in late 2001. In early 2002, he then made appearances for World Wrestling All-Stars as "The Funkster" and under his real name. In the summer of 2002, he joined TNA upon it's formation under the name "Bruce" and reverted back to a gay character teaming with Lenny Lane in The Rainbow Express.

He returned to wrestling in 2009 for NWA Anarchy before working for Lucha Libre USA from 2010-2011 under the name "Chi Chi" before retiring in late 2011.

Elix Skipper

Background: WCW Cruiserweight, Skipper trained at the WCW Power Plant and turned pro in 1998 where he would mostly work on C and D level shows such as Saturday Night and Worldwide. By 2000, he began to rise in the ranks aligning himself with Lance Storm as part of Storm's "Team Canada" stable with the story being that Skipper, despite being American, had a supposed history playing in the Canadian Football League. Skipper would eventually be awarded the WCW Cruiserweight Championship from Storm and would feud with acts like "The Misfits In Action" and "The Filthy Animals" during his time in Team Canada. By February 2001, he went out on his own and formed a team with another WCW Power Plant graduate Kid Romeo with the two becoming the inaugural WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Skipper and Romeo lost the Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships to Mysterio and Kidman on the final Monday Nitro on March 26th. After WWF bought out WCW, Skipper would be picked up and did time in HWA before being released in December 2001. From 2002-2003, he would tour with All Japan under the names "Dark Guerrera" and a masked character named "Extreme Blade" where he took part in the Real World Jr. Tag League teaming with Gran Naniwa. In 2002, he then joined TNA upon it's formation where he would be put in the X Division. From 2003-2004, Skipper achieved perhaps his career peak forming the legendary tag team Triple X with Low-Ki and "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels with the team winning the NWA World Tag Team Championship three times (while Skipper held a fourth with Chris Harris) and had an equally legendary feud with America's Most Wanted. Skipper also became famous for his legendary and often replayed cage walk into a hurricanrana at Turning Point 2004. After XXX broke up, Skipper fell down the cards. From 2005-2006, he then was part of the team The Diamonds of the Rough with longtime TNA prelim wrestler David Young while being managed by Simon Diamond but the act was never pushed. From 2006-2007, he reformed XXX but the team wasn't able to recapture their past success. In 2008, he would be released from TNA and eventually finished his career on the indie circuit with his last match being in 2009 against Tyler Black (the future Seth Rollins).

Kid Romeo

Background: WCW Cruiserweight, Romeo trained at the WCW Power Plant and turned pro in 1999. For the first several months, Romeo would largely work live events and shows like Saturday Night and Worldwide gaining experience. By May 2000, Romeo would be sent to New Japan for seasoning and did two tours with them including wrestling in their prestigious Best of the Super Jrs tournament. After one appearance for the WWF in February 2001 where he lost to Essa Rios, Romeo returned to WCW weeks later. He formed his team with Elix Skipper and the two would ultimately become the inaugural WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Romeo and Skipper lost the Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship to Mysterio and Kidman on the final Nitro on March 26th. After WWF bought WCW, Romeo would be picked up by the WWF and sent to HWA for more seasoning but was released by December 2001. After his release, Romeo would spend 2002-2003 wrestling sporadically as a journeyman making appearances for TNA, MLW, and Full Impact Pro in America and WWC and IWA: Puerto Rico in Puerto Rico. From 2004-2005, he then worked regularly for TNA but while he got matches with Raven, Chris Sabin, Kid Kash, and Jeff Hardy, he was mostly used as a prelim wrestler. After leaving TNA, he took several years off eventually returning for the independent promotion NWA South Atlantic where he held the tag titles but retired after losing the belts in 2008. In 2024, he returned to the ring for the Pro Wrestling VISION promotion for a match.

Rey Mysterio Jr.

Background: Wrestling legend, Mysterio is a second generation wrestler as the nephew of Rey Mysterio Sr. Trained by his uncle, Mysterio turned pro in 1989 at the age of fourteen where he first competed under the names "La Lagartija Verde" and "Colibri" before his uncle gave him the Rey Mysterio Jr name. After working the indies for a few years, Mysterio got his first break in 1992 joining AAA where he enjoyed success for the next four years. While in AAA, Mysterio would also make appearances for WAR in Japan and ECW in the United States, usually facing the likes of Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis. In 1996, he signed with WCW where he became one of the most successful cruiserweights in company history winning the Cruiserweight Championship five times and later the WCW World Tag Team Championship three times as part of the Filthy Animals with Juventud, Konnan, and Kidman. Along the way, he lost his mask while engaging in matches and feuds with Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, and Kevin Nash.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Mysterio and Kidman would defeat Skipper and Romeo for the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship on the final Monday Nitro. After WCW was bought, Mysterio would become a journeyman throughout the remainder of 2001 and early 2002 working in Mexico for CMLL, WWC in Puerto Rico (winning their Junior Heavyweight Championship), and the short lived XWF. In the summer of 2002, he signed with the WWE and once again competed with his mask. Mysterio would enjoy a highly successful thirteen year run winning the WWE Championship once and the World Heavyweight Championship twice including winning the latter at Wrestlemania 22. He once again became successful in the cruiserweight and tag team ranks forming successful teams with Edge, Rob Van Dam, Eddie Guerrero, and Batista. He would also have big matches and feuds with Batista, Kurt Angle, JBL, and rekindled his WCW feud with Eddie. After leaving WWE in 2015, Mysterio became a journeyman again working various promotions in Mexico as well as for Lucha Underground in the United States, and New Japan in Japan. In late 2018, Mysterio returned to the WWE as his son Dominik was beginning a wrestling career. Mysterio would capture the United States Championship several times and the Smackdown Tag Team Championships with Dominik before Dominik turned on him and the two would feud. During this tenure, Mysterio would also reform the former WCW stable the lWo (Latino World Order). As of 2026, Mysterio is still active in the WWE and while he hasn't announced a retirement, there is speculation with age and various injuries, he could be winding his career down soon. Mysterio was inducted into the AAA Hall of Fame in 2007, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 2010, and the WWE Hall of Fame in 2023.

Billy Kidman

Background: Longtime WCW competitor, Kidman turned pro in 1994 and spent the first several years in the independents under various names. He began competing for WCW in 1996 under the "Billy Kidman" name where he first worked as a prelim wrestler before joining Raven's Flock in late 1997. After Raven's Flock broke up in late 1998, Kidman became a successful midcarder for WCW in their later years, specifically for it's cruiserweight division as he held the WCW Cruiserweight Championship three times. He also found success in The Filthy Animals stable winning the WCW World Tag Team Championships with Konnan and Rey Mysterio. Outside of these, he also had a feud with Hulk Hogan in 2000. By 2001, Kidman resumed his team with Mysterio in the new cruiserweight tag team division. 

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Kidman and Mysterio would defeat Skipper and Romeo in a rematch to become the final Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions on the final Nitro eight days later. After WCW was bought out by WWF, Kidman would be among those who was picked up and debuted for the WWF in the summer. Outside of the WCW/ECW Alliance angle of 2001, Kidman's WWF/WWE run was largely the same as his WCW run, mainly in the cruiserweight and tag team divisions. He capture the WCW/WWE Cruiserweight Championship four more times between 2001-2003 and later formed a successful tag team with Paul London with the two winning the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championships in 2004. In 2005, Kidman would be released ending a four year run in the WWE. After leaving, he would work the indie circuit from 2005-2007, during which time he also travelled the world competing in the UK, Asia, Puerto Rico, and Australia. In the latter, he competed for the World Series of Wrestling winning their World Heavyweight Title. From 2007-2008, he returned to WWE competing and helping to train wrestlers in the promotion's then developmental Florida Championship Wrestling until retiring in February 2008. Since 2010, Kidman has worked for the WWE as a backstage producer, a role he still holds to this day outside of a brief time in 2020 when he was furloughed due to the pandemic.

Shawn Stasiak

Background: Second generation wrestler, Stasiak is the son of former WWE Champion Stan "The Man" Stasiak and turned pro in 1996 competing on the indies. After being signed by the WWF in late 1997, he first spent time in developmental Power Pro Wrestling throughout 1998 and into 1999. In April 1999, he debuted for the WWF as "Meat", the boy toy of the stable "Pretty Mean Sisters". By the fall, he reverted to his "Shawn Stasiak" name and was Kurt Angle's debut opponent at Survivor Series 1999 before being fired in December after being caught tape recording wrestler's conversations. After getting further training in the WCW Power Plant, Stasiak debuted for WCW in April 2000 as both "The Perfect One" Shawn Stasiak and "PerfectShawn" Stasiak, a clear ripoff of Curt Hennig's old "Mr. Perfect" gimmick. Speaking of Hennig, Stasiak would briefly feud with Hennig before forming a tag team with Chuck Palumbo called "The Perfect Event". The team proved successful winning the WCW World Tag Team Championship three times during 2000 feuding with the likes of Kronik and The Insiders while being a member of "The Natural Born Thrillers" stable. After the team broke up in early 2001, Stasiak would be directionless until being repackaged as "The Mecca of Manhood" and paired with Stacy Kiebler.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Stasiak would lose to Bam Bam Bigelow on the March 19th Nitro before defeating him on the final Nitro on March 26th. Despite his previous firing, Stasiak would be brought back to the WWF upon it's purchase of WCW. Stasiak would be part of the WCW/ECW Alliance stable that invaded the WWF in 2001 largely serving as a clumsy comic relief for the stable. After periods with injuries and the end of the Alliance, Stasiak returned in 2002 as part of the RAW brand playing an insane character who claimed to be from Planet Stasiak. He would largely settle into the WWE's hardcore division winning the WWE Hardcore Championship fifteen times before the title was retired. In September 2002, Stasiak requested his release and decided to retire. Since his retirement, Stasiak has become a chiropractor in Texas. He would emerge from retirement a few times, wrestling three matches for Pacific Championship Wrestling in 2007 and then had one last match in 2010 for Universal Championship Wrestling. As of 2026, Stasiak is still a chiropractor as well as having been a personal trainer and motivational speaker.

Background: Famous wrestling "diva", Stacy started as a dancer and model before becoming a cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens. She entered wrestling in 1999 after winning a Nitro Girl search contest where she joined WCW as part of their Nitro Girls under the name "Skye". By 2000, she then became a valet named "Miss Hancock" where see briefly managed Lodi and Lenny Lane before embarking on an infamous storyline where she dated David Flair and was supposedly pregnant with either Ric Flair or Vince Russo's baby. After the angle was dropped, she resurfaced in early 2001 as Shawn Stasiak's valet.

Where Is She Now?: After Greed, Stacy would lead Stasiak to another win over Bigelow on the March 26th Nitro. After WCW was bought by WWF, Stacy would get picked up and enjoyed a successful five year run. She originally came in as part of the WCW/ECW Alliance where she aligned with Torrie Wilson and Ivory against WWF divas like Trish Stratus and Lita. After The Alliance ended, she went on to be a valet for The Dudley Boyz, Test, Scott Steiner, and The Superheroes (Rosey and The Hurricane) while also being an assistant for Vince McMahon. After five years with the WWE, she left in 2006 and went on to a fascinating post WWE run including participating on Dancing With The Stars to having a brief acting career to dating George Clooney. By the 2010s, she got married and has since started a family having three children while making the occasional special WWE appearance. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2023.

Bam Bam Bigelow

After leaving WWF, Bigelow would do time in the NWA/WCW briefly feuding with Barry Windham for the NWA United States Championship. From 1989-1992, he then regularly competed for New Japan notably being the New Japan debut opponent of former yokozuna Koji Kitao and then as part of the "Big, Bad, and Dangerous" tag team with Big Van Vader winning the IWGP (International Wrestling Grand Prix) Tag Team Championship. From 1992-1995, he had a second run in the WWF where he notably made it to the finals of the 1993 King of the Ring tournament and main evented Wrestlemania XI against football legend Lawrence Taylor. After working as a journeyman, he worked for ECW from 1997-1998 where he held the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and the ECW World Television Championship, was a member of The Triple Threat, and had memorable feuds with Spike Dudley and Taz. In November 1998, Bigelow jumped to WCW where he first began feuding with Goldberg before settling into the midcard. In 1999, he formed The Jersey Triad with Diamond Dallas Page and Kanyon where he held the WCW World Tag Team Championships twice. After the team broke up, he settled into the midcard and hardcore division winning the WCW Hardcore Championship.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Bigelow would defeat Stasiak in a rematch on the March 19th Nitro before losing a rubber match to Stasiak on the March 26th Nitro. After WWF purchased WCW, Bigelow would choose not to accept a buy out and didn't return. After this, rumors swirled of him returning to New Japan in late 2001 for their G1 World tournament but nothing came of this. He was also considered to appear for TNA upon their launch in June 2002 but his WCW contract prevented it. Ultimately, Bigelow's WCW run would be his last run in a national promotion. He eventually returned to the ring in 2002 and wrestled sporadically for the next two years mostly for Northeast indie promotions like USA Pro (where he held their heavyweight title twice) and 3PW. In his later years, Bigelow would also encounter various hardships including a failed business endeavor, health issues, and run ins with the law all the while being addicted to oxycontin. In 2005, Bigelow and his girlfriend would be involved in a motorcycle accident with each suffering injuries. With Bigelow's girlfriend's health in question, there were rumors possible manslaughter charges being brought to him should she have passed but she recovered. In late 2006, Bigelow then wrestled the last two matches of his lifetime for the indie promotion American Combat Wrestling. On January 19, 2007, Bigelow passed away due to a drug overdose with heart disease playing a factor. He was 45 years old.

Lance Storm

After leaving SMW, Storm mostly worked in the Japanese based WAR for several years as a Six Man Tag Team Champion and two time International Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion. From 1997-2000, he competed for ECW where he became a three time World Tag Team Champion (once with Chris Candido and twice with Justin Credible) all the while engaging in matches and feuds with Candido, Rob Van Dam, and Tommy Dreamer. In 2000, he jumped to WCW becoming one of the most successful wrestlers of the promotion's last year as he won the United States Championship three times, the Cruiserweight Championship once, and the Hardcore Championship once while holding all three simultaneously. Along with this, he led the Team Canada stable, portraying a pro-Canadian/anti-rest of the world character and feuded with The Misfits In Action and The Filthy Animals. By Greed, Storm began teaming with fellow ECW alumni Mike Awesome. 

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Storm and Awesome would defeat Tag Team Champions Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire on the 3/19 Nitro but lost to them in a tag team championship match on the final Nitro on 3/26. After WCW was bought by the WWF, Storm would be among those picked up and joined the promotion. Storm would debut on the 5/28 RAW as the first WCW wrestler to "invade" the WWF. Storm would join the Alliance stable and enjoyed a run with the Intercontinental Championship during the summer of 2001 before forming teams with Awesome and Shane Helms (now The Hurricane). After The Alliance ended, Storm would form a team with Christian and eventually won the Tag Team Championship from Hulk Hogan and Edge. The two then would join with Test and William Regal to form The Un-Americans stable. After the stable broke up, Storm teamed with Regal with the two capturing two more tag titles while feuding with The Dudley Boyz. After Regal took time off due to illness, Storm then held the titles with Chief Morley (Val Venis). After the Morley team, Storm began a gimmick of being mocked by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for being boring which eventually led to him doing a fun loving party character which didn't do much. By 2004, Storm would retire for the first time and become a trainer for then WWE developmental Ohio Valley Wrestling. In 2005, he returned for a few matches before leaving in June 2005 with his last WWE match being a win over Chris Jericho at the ECW One Night Stand PPV. Upon leaving WWE, Storm would set up his own wrestling school called The Storm Wrestling Academy which he would run for nearly fifteen years during which he helped train a number of wrestlers including Chelsea Green, Cassie Lee, Tyler Breeze, Rachael Ellering, Clark Connors, Taya Valkyrie, and Lexis King to name some. Along with running his school, Storm would write columns on his own website as well as for Fighting Spirit Magazine. From 2016-2019, he co-hosted a podcast called "Killing The Town With Storm and Cyrus" with Don "Cyrus" Callis and is a frequent guest on Wrestling Observer radio. Despite retiring in 2005, Storm would occasionally return to the ring for special appearances mostly for Ring of Honor where he challenged Bryan Danielson for the ROH World Title in 2006 and feuded with Mike Bennett in 2012. He would also work Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore as well as the indie circuit with his last match being in 2016 against Matt Hardy. In 2019, Storm shutdown the Storm Wrestling Academy and briefly went to work as a backstage producer for TNA (then Impact Wrestling) before returning to the WWE in the same capacity. However, he would be furloughed and released in 2020 due to the pandemic and cutbacks. In 2022, Storm returned to TNA as a producer and maintains that role to this day. 

Mike Awesome

Background: Florida native and ECW legend, Mike Awesome turned pro in 1989 and first worked for the Florida based Pacific Wrestling Federation while also doing shots for the United States Wrestling Association in Memphis. In 1991, he got his first break when he joined the Japanese based Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling as "The Gladiator" where he became a top star utilizing both his size and power with amazing agility. In FMW, Awesome would hold numerous tag titles while holding both the promotion's Brass Knuckles Title and Independent Title briefly unifying both all the while engaging in popular matches with Masato Tanaka. From 1994-1998, while with FMW, he would also make appearances for ECW. In September 1999, Awesome joined ECW full time winning the ECW World Heavyweight Championship from Taz in a three way dance also involving Tanaka. Awesome would hold the ECW World Title twice and the ECW World Tag Team Titles once with Raven while feuding with Tanaka and Spike Dudley. In April 2000, Awesome would shock the wrestling world by abruptly leaving ECW while still the champion to sign with WCW due to ECW's financial problems. He debuted on the 4/10 Nitro attacking Kevin Nash before making a final ECW appearance on 4/13 to lose the title to Taz (or Tazz as it was spelled in the WWF). After joining WCW, Awesome would start strong doing a "Career Killer" gimmick while feuding with the likes of Diamond Dallas Page and scoring wins over Booker T and Hulk Hogan before being put with several ridiculous gimmicks like "The Fat Chick Thrilla" (a guy who was attracted to overweight women) and "That 70s Guy" (a guy who dressed like someone from the 70s and even drove on The Partridge Family bus). By early 2001, Awesome would be slowly rebuilt joining up with Lance Storm.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Awesome and Storm defeated Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire on the 3/19 Nitro in a non title match before losing a title match to them on the 3/26 Nitro. After WCW was purchased by the WWF, Awesome would be picked up. He debuted on the 6/25 RAW winning the WWF Hardcore Championship from Rhino during a match with Test (the title was under 24/7 rules) becoming the first invader to hold a WWF title. After losing the title weeks later to Jeff Hardy, Awesome would briefly reform his team with Storm and was a member of The Alliance until suffering an injury in November 2001. Upon returning in July 2002, Awesome would be apart of the Smackdown brand as the WWE began the brand split but would mostly be used as a prelim wrestler on house shows and Smackdown's B show Velocity until being released in October. After leaving WWE, Awesome would return to Japan mostly working for All Japan from 2002-2004, once again using The Gladiator name where he received several title shots including the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship but wasn't able to claim gold. Along with All Japan, Awesome appeared for Jersey All Pro Wrestling (winning their heavyweight title), MLW (winning their world title), and TNA. After leaving All Japan, he did some shots for ZERO-ONE and HUSTLE before briefly touring for NOAH even challenging Kenta Kobashi for the GHC (Global Honored Crown) Heavyweight Championship. Awesome's last match would be his win over Tanaka at ECW One Night Stand in June 2005 which gained fame for Joey Styles and the fans burying Awesome before he won the fans over with a critically acclaimed performance. By early 2006, Awesome would retire from wrestling and got into real estate. Awesome would claim he would return if the money was right but it never happened. In February 2007, Awesome would be arrested after a confrontation with his wife after she planned to divorce him and freeze his accounts to ruin him. Days later on February 17, 2007, Awesome was found dead at his home by friends as a result of hanging. He was 42.

Chavo debuted in 1994 working the indie circuit and some appearances in AAA in Mexico. He signed with WCW in 1996 and spent the first few years gaining experience while doing trips to New Japan. In 1998, he began to have some momentum with a feud with Eddie and a storyline where he came out with stick horse named "Pepe". After doing little in 1999, Chavo would finally move up in 2000 as part of The Misfits In Action stable under the name "Lt. Loco". As Loco, he won his first WCW Cruiserweight Championship and the WCW World Tag Team Championship with Lash LeRoux (Corporal Cajun).

From 2004-2005, Chavo would then compete in the cruiserweight division winning the Cruiserweight Championship three times. In late 2005, he was repackaged under a controversial gimmick renaming himself "Kerwin White" and renouncing his hispanic heritage to portray a middle class white conservative who made comments toward minorities. The character didn't last long as Chavo reverted back to himself and became a babyface following the death of Eddie in November 2005. By the summer of 2006, he turned heel again feuding with Rey Mysterio (until an injury put the feud on halt) and Chris Benoit while taking Eddie's widow Vickie as his manager.

By May 2000, Palumbo would get pushed as a member of The New Blood stable as "The Main Event" Chuck Palumbo making him a young version of Lex Luger and briefly feuded with him. After the feud, Palumbo formed "The Perfect Event" tag team with Shawn Stasiak where they captured the WCW World Tag Team Championship three times while also being a member of "The Natural Born Thrillers" stable. By 2001, The Perfect Event broke up and Palumbo began teaming with Sean O'Haire where he won a fourth tag title from The Insiders (Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page) at the Sin PPV on January 14th. They were the defending champions at Greed.

In November 2001, he formed a team with Billy Gunn, eventually named "Billy & Chuck" with the two portraying a gay tag team. The Billy & Chuck team was Palumbo's biggest moment as they captured the WWF/WWE Tag Team Championship twice with Palumbo having a Wrestlemania moment of the two successfully defending against The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and The APA at Wrestlemania X8. After losing the titles for the last time to Hulk Hogan and Edge, the two would have a famous gay wedding on Smackdown which ended with the two admitting this was a publicity stunt and were attacking by Eric Bischoff and Three Minute Warning (Rosey and Umaga). A feud would begin but mostly ended by October 2002 when Billy Gunn went on the shelf due to injury.

Upon debuting in July 2001, O'Haire would continue teaming with Palumbo as the WCW World Tag Team Champions until losing the titles to The Brothers of Destruction in August and the team would be broken up as O'Haire would be sent to developmental for seasoning. From 2001-2002, O'Haire would do time in Heartland Wrestling Association and Ohio Valley Wrestling where he was a member of the Bolin Services stable in the latter. By the summer of 2002, he began working WWE live events for the next few months. By late 2002/early 2003, he returned to the main roster under a Devil's Advocate gimmick but despite it's potential and critically acclaimed vignettes, it didn't last long. By April 2003, O'Haire would be aligned with Vince McMahon and a returning "Rowdy" Roddy Piper to feud with Hulk Hogan (as the masked Mr. America) and Zach Gowen but despite this and even getting a count out win over Hogan, it didn't work.

Lex Luger

Background: Wrestling legend, Luger turned pro in 1985 where he spent the first year and a half of his career in Championship Wrestling from Florida enjoying runs with the Southern Heavyweight Championship, Bahamian Championship, and Television Championship. In 1987, he jumped to NWA/WCW where he quickly become one of their biggest up and comers alongside Sting during which time he enjoyed runs with the NWA United States Championship four times and the NWA World Tag Team Championship while being a member of the Four Horsemen. In 1991, Luger then reached world championship status winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. After leaving WCW in 1992, Luger then worked for Vince McMahon for the next three and a half years first as part of McMahon's failed World Bodybuilding Federation and then as a wrestler for the WWF where he achieved decent success but never reached the heights he was suppose to. In 1995, Luger, who was not under a contract, famously and abruptly left for WCW unannounced and returned at the first Monday Nitro. For the next five years, Luger played a big role in WCW as one of the promotion's top stars as a member of stables such as The Dungeon of Doom, nWo Wolfpac, and The Millionaire's Club all the while having big moments including defeating Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in August 1997 and "retiring" Goldberg in January 2001. By early 2001, Luger would form the tag team Totally Buffed with Buff Bagwell with the two seeking the WCW World Tag Team Championships.

Where Is He Now?: Greed would be Luger's last WCW match. On the final Nitro on March 26th, he would participate in a backstage promo which saw him famously get mocked by Vince McMahon on the Nitro/RAW telecast. After WWF bought WCW, Luger, to no surprise, was not picked up by WWF with many believing his infamous 1995 departure playing the biggest factor. Following the end of WCW, Luger would sit out his AOL/Time Warner contract and wouldn't wrestle again until November 2002 when he toured for WWA and would briefly capture the WWA World Heavyweight Championship. During this time period, Luger's personal life would begin to unravel as his marriage would fall apart due to his affair with Miss Elizabeth which led to divorce and being estranged from his kids. Things would get worse when Luger would be arrested for physical abuse in April 2003 and then on May 1, 2003, Elizabeth would pass away from an overdose at Luger's home. Following Elizabeth's death, Luger struggled for two years having various run ins with the law and personal issues. In November 2003, Luger would wrestle a match for TNA teaming with Jeff Jarrett against AJ Styles and Sting. He would return to TNA in early 2004 attacking Styles but nothing came of this. Luger would wrestle five indie matches between 2004-2006 with his last match being a win teaming with Bagwell against Jarrett and Scott Steiner. By 2006, Luger's life hit rock bottom and after being visited by a pastor, he became a born again christian and began to turn his life around. Later in 2006, he made a few more appearances for TNA in Sting's corner preparing him for the Bound For Glory 2006 main event. In September 2007, Luger would suffer brief paralysis reportedly from spinal stroke which ended his career. Despite this setback and his mobility declining over the years, he would became an inspirational figure in wrestling and not let his setbacks affect him. In 2011, he reportedly would return to the WWE as a consultant on their wellness policy and would participate in various projects including video games and interviews for DVDs. In 2012, he inducted his good friend Sting into the TNA Hall of Fame. Throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, Luger would become a fixture at wrestling conventions and later participated on a WWE biography on himself. In early 2025, Luger began working with Diamond Dallas Page on improving his mobility which has seen results included standing and not needing a wheelchair as often. In April 2025, nearly 30 years after his famous WWF exit, Luger made his first major WWE appearance when he accepted his WWE Hall of Fame induction which saw him stand on the podium. As of 2026, Luger still appears at yearly wrestling conventions and has hosted his own podcast called "The Lex Express". In 2013, Luger released his autobiography "Wrestling With The Devil: The True Story of a World Champion Professional Wrestler - His Reign, Ruin, and Redemption".  Luger was awarded the Frank Gotch Award from the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2016 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2025.

Bagwell would be a fixture of WCW throughout their later years having a feud with Roddy Piper while winning a fifth WCW Tag Title with Shane Douglas as part of The New Blood stable. In early 2001, he began teaming with Luger in the tag team Totally Buffed with the two challenging for the WCW World Tag Team Championship.

Where Is He Now?: Greed turned to be Bagwell's last WCW match as he would appear in a taped backstage segment with Luger on the final Nitro. When WWF bought WCW, Bagwell was picked up reportedly due to positive reception of his name being mentioned by the WWF audience when Vince McMahon gauged names. Bagwell's WWF run would be short and infamous as he wrestled one live event before having a critically panned match with WCW World Champion Booker T on the July 2nd RAW. As a result of the match and reportedly behavior issues, Bagwell was released only a week later. After leaving WWF, Bagwell would become a journeyman by competing for Main Event Championship Wrestling's only show while touring for WWA and wrestling for XWF during their short runs. From 2002-2003, Bagwell made a few appearances for TNA including their first show on June 19th competing in the Gauntlet for the Gold for the vacant NWA World Heavyweight Championship. By 2003, Bagwell would settle into the indie circuit for the rest of his career. He would return to TNA for some live event appearances and appearing on TV along with Luger in helping Sting prepare for his Bound For Glory 2006 match against Jeff Jarrett. Despite these and hoping for a full time TNA run, none occurs and Bagwell eventually returns to the indies with his last match being in 2024 for Memphis Wrestling where he won their Tag Team Championship. Outside of wrestling, Bagwell would also work as a male escort at one point and also suffered from personal issues and run ins with the law. In August 2020, Bagwell would be involved in a car accident that left him with various injuries that continued to linger for years afterwards. In July 2025, Bagwell would eventually have his right leg amputated as a result of the lingering damage from the accident. Despite this, he reportedly has hoped to have another match, something he brought up during a guest appearance for TNA in 2026, but whether or not he does has yet to be seen. 

Ernest Miller

After the angle fizzled, Miller became a cocky karate expert while dancing like James Brown managed by WCW manager Sonny Onoo where he feuded with the likes of Perry Saturn, Disco Inferno, and Buff Bagwell. By 2000, he spent more of it either as the fictional WCW Commissioner or feuding with Mike Sanders and Lance Storm over it while turning babyface.

After WCW was bought by WWF, Miller was not picked up and took a break. In 2002, he returned to the ring touring for WWA and did some indie shots. In late 2002, he worked a dark match for WWE while eventually being hired as a color commentator for Velocity. After doing more dark matches in early 2003, Miller eventually transitioned to a wrestler by the end of the year for the Smackdown brand but the run proved short lived with his only highlight participating in the 2004 Royal Rumble before being released in February 2004. Since his WWE release, Miller has only wrestled sporadically, mostly on the indie circuit although his most recent match in 2024 was for MLW participating in their Battle Riot VI.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Kanyon wrestled one more match on the final Thunder on March 21st where he teamed with Road Warrior Animal in a losing effort against Ernest Miller and MI Smooth. After WCW was bought by WWF, Kanyon would work the indie circuit before being among those picked up.

By October 2001, Kanyon would suffer a torn ACL and spent several months on the shelf. Upon returning in mid 2002, he spent most of the year in OVW and HWA while also suffering a shoulder injury and nearly dying from complications. After recovering, he eventually returned to main roster on the Smackdown brand where his only memorable moment was being presented to The Undertaker as a gift from The Big Show where he came out of a crate dressed as Boy George only to get beat up.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Booker wrestled one more time on the final Nitro on March 26th taking on Scott Steiner in a title vs. title match which he emerged victorious winning his fourth WCW World Heavyweight Championship and leaving a double champion. After WWF purchased WCW, Booker would accept a buy out of his AOL/Time Warner contract and joined WWF. He debuted in June at the 2001 King of the Ring Pay-Per-View attacking WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin during his triple threat title defense against Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho. Booker would then settle into The Alliance stable as a top member during which time he relinquished the United States Championship to Kanyon, won a fifth WCW World Heavyweight Championship after trading the belt with Kurt Angle, and formed a successful team with Test winning both the WWF and WCW Tag Titles.

Despite being in the upper midcard, he did get the occasional main event feud with Austin, Triple H, and The Undertaker. In 2006, he returned to the main event winning the 2006 King of the Ring and taking the name "King Booker" during which time, he won the World Heavyweight Championship from Rey Mysterio in the summer of 2006. After losing the championship to Batista at Survivor Series 2006, Booker returned to the midcard until leaving WWE in 2007 after losing to Triple H at Summerslam 2007.

During his TNA run, he had feuds with Bobby Roode and challenged Samoa Joe for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. After leaving TNA, Booker began to slow down as he worked internationally throughout 2010-2011. In 2011, he returned to the WWE participating at the Royal Rumble and would later work on a Tough Enough revival before joining the WWE's broadcast team and PPV pre show panels while also working as the Smackdown General Manager in 2013. He would also feud with Cody Rhodes over the Intercontinental Championship but wasn't able to get it back.

From 1992-1994, they had a short but successful run in the WWF winning the WWF Tag Team Championship twice while having matches and feuds with Money Inc. and The Quebecers. After leaving WWF, the two would work New Japan from 1994-1996 while making occasional dates with ECW with Steiner replacing Sabu as Taz's partner during a tag title match. In 1996, the brothers returned to WCW winning the tag titles four more times from 1996-1998 while feuding with Harlem Heat and The Outsiders. In 1998, The Steiners would break up when Scott turned heel and joined the nWo which lead to a feud that didn't go far. After going solo, Steiner would capture another WCW Tag Title with WCW prelim talent Kenny Kaos and then won the World TV Title two more times while reuniting with Scott.

In late 1999, he returned to WCW having feuds with Jeff Jarrett and Terry Funk before being taken off TV for most of 2000 during the Vince Russo/Eric Bischoff reboot. He resurfaced in early 2001 reuniting with his father and feuded with The Magnificent Seven.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Rhodes wrestled one more time for WCW, losing a handicap match to Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner on the final Thunder on March 21st. After WWF bought WCW, Rhodes would not be picked up and spent 2001 working the indie circuit including his father's Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling promotion. In early 2002, he accepted a buy out from his AOL/Time Warner contract and returned to the WWF at the 2002 Royal Rumble, once again as Goldust. Rhodes would settle into the RAW brand and the hardcore division for a time winning the WWF Hardcore Championship at least seven times. From mid 2002 to early 2003, he then formed a popular tag team with Booker T where they won the RAW World Tag Team Championship once.

From 2009-2018, Rhodes would bounce back and forth between WWE runs as Goldust and indie shots. His most notable run was 2013-2015, forming a team with half-brother Cody with the two enjoying two runs with the tag titles while feuding with The Authority and Shield stables before briefly feuding with each other. In 2019, Rhodes left WWE and jumped to AEW upon it's formation where he eventually settled into the midcard enjoying success with the AEW TNT Championship.

Dusty Rhodes

Background: All time wrestling legend, Rhodes turned pro in 1968 and spent the first several years of his career in the tag team "The Texas Outlaws" with fellow legend Dick Murdoch winning tag titles in various territories as well as singles titles. By 1974, he settled into Championship Wrestling from Florida and after turning babyface, would adapt the nickname "The American Dream" becoming a megastar in wrestling with the gimmick of a hero for the blue collar people and who can relate to them. Rhodes would become one of wrestling's biggest names for most of the 1970s and 1980s mostly settling into CWF while also enjoying success in other areas such as NWA/WCW and Georgia Championship Wrestling while making many stops in the WWE (then World Wide Wrestling Federation). During this time, he was a top contender for the NWA World Championship, a championship he won three times between 1979-1986. From 1984-1989, Rhodes worked for NWA/WCW as a top wrestler and booker. As a wrestler, he engaged in legendary feuds with The Four Horsemen including Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard while holding numerous titles. As a booker, Rhodes would be groundbreaking coming up with stables like The Four Horsemen to events like NWA/WCW's premiere event Starrcade to iconic matches like WarGames: The Match Beyond. After being fired from his booking position in 1989, Rhodes left and briefly went on to run the Pacific Wrestling Federation. From 1989-1991, Rhodes worked for the WWF where he largely was positioned in the upper midcard feuding with the likes of the Big Boss Man, "Macho King" Randy Savage, and "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase. After leaving WWF in 1991, Rhodes went into semi-retirement and spent most of the 90s in WCW as a booker, color commentator, and a manager while occasionally stepping back into the ring. After leaving WCW in 1999, Rhodes would have a cup of coffee run in ECW feuding with future ECW World Champion Steve Corino. By 2000, Rhodes founded his own promotion Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling based in Atlanta. In early 2001, he returned to WCW reuniting with Dustin and reigniting his legendary feud with Flair.

Where Is He Now?: Greed proved to be Rhodes' last WCW match. After WWF purchased WCW, Rhodes was not picked up and instead co-hosted a show called "WCW Classics Program" on Turner South during this time with Ric Flair. After WCW, Rhodes continued to run TCW for another two years before shutting it down in 2003. During this time, Rhodes would also make special appearances for ROH and MLW while doing indie work. In 2004, Rhodes would also make trips to Japan for ZERO-ONE and HUSTLE. From 2003-2005, Rhodes then worked for TNA on and off camera. During his run, he wrestled several matches and feuded with the likes of Kid Kash, The Next Generation stable (David Flair, Brian Lawler, and Erik Watts), and Vince Russo. On October 8, 2003, Rhodes would challenge AJ Styles for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in what would be his final shot at the championship. Rhodes would also work as head of creative in late 2004 till leaving TNA in the summer of 2005. Along with doing indie appearances throughout 2005-2006, Rhodes would return to the WWE in 2005 working behind the scenes in the creative team. During this time, he wrestled some of his final matches taking part in a Survivor Series elimination match with fellow legends Ric Flair, Ron Simmons, and Roddy Piper against The Spirit Squad at Survivor Series 2006 and then losing a bullrope match to Randy Orton at Great American Bash 2007. In 2010, Rhodes would transfer to Florida Championship Wrestling (WWE's developmental) working in creative. That same year, he had his final match teaming with sons Dustin and Cody in a win over Curt Hawkins, Caylen Croft, and Trent Baretta. Upon FCW becoming NXT and the formation of the WWE Performance Center, Rhodes continued working in NXT creative while working as a trainer larger earning praise in both roles.

Ric Flair

Background: All time wrestling legend, Flair turned pro in 1972 and spent his first few years in the AWA paying his dues until jumping to NWA/WCW in 1974 where his career took off adopting "The Nature Boy" persona, a playboy who flaunted his looks, his luxuries, and his women. Flair would largely spend the 70s and early 80s as one of wrestling's best names. On September 17, 1981, Flair captured his first NWA World Heavyweight Championship which would largely solidify him as face of the National Wrestling Alliance for the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s. From 1981-1991, Flair would hold the NWA World Heavyweight Championship nine times along with being the inaugural WCW World Heavyweight Champion and main evented the first eight Starrcades (1983-1990). Flair would lead the legendary Four Horsemen and be considered the best wrestler in the world having classic title matches with regional names like Jumbo Tsuruta and The Von Erich brothers to national names like Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Sting, Lex Luger, and Ricky Steamboat. In July 1991, Flair would famously leave WCW after a final falling out with WCW head Jim Herd which saw him enjoy an eighteen month run in the WWF while briefly taking the Big Gold Belt that represented the NWA and WCW World Titles with him. From 1991-1993, Flair would have a short but successful WWF run winning the WWF Championship two times as well as the 1992 Royal Rumble and engaged in big matches and feuds with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, and Mr. Perfect. By 1993, Flair returned to WCW where he continued leading various Four Horsemen line ups while capturing ten more world championships (7 WCW, 1 NWA, and 2 WCW International World) as well as the United States Championship. Flair would also go on to have memorable feuds and matches with Hulk Hogan, Vader, and Eric Bischoff while rekindling past feuds with Sting, Ricky Steamboat, Lex Luger, Curt Hennig, and Randy Savage. By 2001, Flair was mostly appearing as the on-screen WCW CEO and boss while leading the top heel stable "The Magnificent Seven".

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Flair would notably make his presence felt on the final Nitro on March 26th, cutting a passionate promo on WCW after Vince McMahon announced he bought it and then wrestled the last match in WCW history losing to long time rival Sting. After WWF bought WCW, Flair would sit out his AOL/Time Warner deal while co-hosting a show called "WCW Classics Program" with Dusty Rhodes. In November, Flair would accept a buy out and returned to the WWF on the November 19th RAW as the new co-owner of WWF alongside Vince McMahon. Flair would play the co-owner role for six months during which time he returned to the ring and engaged in feuds with Vince, The Undertaker, and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. After the co-owner story ended in June 2002, Flair would wander the midcard before forming an alliance with Triple H in September 2002 serving as a wrestler and his advisor. By 2003, the two were joined by Randy Orton and Batista in the stable "Evolution" during which he won the RAW World Tag Team Championship twice with Batista. After Evolution imploded by 2005, Flair captured the Intercontinental Championship and feuded with Carlito, Triple H, and Mick Foley with the latter coming off real life comments made by each other. In 2006, Flair would feud with The Spirit Squad which saw him win a third tag title with fellow legend and friend Roddy Piper. From 2007-2008, Flair began a story where Vince would force him to retire if he lost another match. After scoring wins over Mr. Kennedy (Mr. Anderson) and MVP, Flair would lose an emotional match to Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XXIV in March 2008. After a send off on the following nights RAW, it looked like Flair was done. In 2009, Flair would then make a few appearances for ROH but left after a fallen out with management. Later in the year, Flair would return to the ring working Hulk Hogan's Australian tour where he regularly worked with Hogan. From 2010-2012, Flair then jumped to TNA where he wrestled sporadically feuding with old rivals Hogan and Sting while forming a stable called "Fortune" with AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Douglas Williams, James Storm, Frankie Kazarian, and Matt Morgan. However, Flair's run would be rocky with several occasions being a headache with his off cameras antics. In October 2011, he wrestled his last TNA match, once again, losing to Sting. After leaving TNA, Flair would seemingly end his in-ring career while experiencing triumphs and tragedies in his personal life including the passing of his youngest son Reid in 2013 while youngest daughter Ashley eventually carried the Flair name with great success in WWE as "Charlotte Flair". Flair would make returns to the WWE over the years usually involving Charlotte. In 2022, Flair would wrestle his last match at an independent show "Ric Flair's Last Match" on July 31st teaming with then son-in-law Andrade el Idolo in a winning effort against Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal but the match would be critically panned with the 73 year old Flair passing out twice during it. In 2023, he debuted for AEW making appearances leading up to Sting's retirement while his energy drink sponsored AEW. Outside the ring, Flair has also dabbled in acting and doing commercials for brands like Car Shield while having several businesses including his own cannabis called "Ric Flair Drip" and his own energy drink called "Woooo! Energy". As of 2026, Flair is retired from the ring. His legacy has been complex due to allegations, out of the ring antics especially regarding alcohol, and being the poster child of a wrestler who stuck around way too long. Despite this, Flair is still celebrated in the business and still regarded by many as one of, if not, the greatest wrestler of all time. In 2004, Flair released his autobiography "To Be The Man". In the early 2020s, Flair also hosted a podcast called WOOOO! Nation (later revamped as "To Be The Man"). He was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 1996, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in 2006, the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2007, the NWA Hall of Fame in 2008, the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2013, the International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2021, and is a two time WWE Hall of Fame inductee going in individually in 2008 and with the 1988 Four Horsemen line up in 2012. He was awarded the Pro Wrestling Illustrated Stanley Weston Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 and a WWE Bronze Statue in 2017.

Jeff Jarrett

Background: Third generation wrestler, Jarrett is the son of legendary promoter and wrestler Jerry Jarrett and the grandson of longtime wrestler/figurehead Eddie Marlin and longtime employee in wrestling Christine Jarrett. Jarrett turned pro in 1986 first as a referee before beginning a wrestling career. He spent the first seven years of his career competing for his father's Continental Wrestling Association (later United States Wrestling Association) eventually becoming one of the promotion's top stars. Jarrett would also make appearances for World Class from 1988-1990 when his father owned that. In 1993, Jarrett signed with the WWF and enjoyed a successful three year career there as "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, a country singer gimmick who wanted to use the WWF as a springboard to Nashville. Jarrett would capture the Intercontinental Championship three times and had big matches with Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels. After leaving WWF in 1996, Jarrett jumped to WCW for a one year run where he held the WCW United States Championship and was an unofficial member of The Four Horsemen. From 1997-1999, Jarrett had a second run with the WWF both as himself and the Double J character during which time he won three more IC titles (thus giving him the record for most), the European Title, the NWA North American Title, and the Tag Team Titles with Owen Hart all the while engaging in feuds with X-Pac, D'Lo Brown, and Chyna. In October 1999, Jarrett left the WWF but controversy arose due to his departure as his contract expired the night before the No Mercy PPV and he reportedly asked for money upfront in exchange for losing the title to Chyna. After leaving, Jarrett returned to WCW where he became one of the promotions top stars winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship four times and two more WCW United States Championships while being a member of nWo 2000 and The New Blood. By early 2001, Jarrett was a member of Ric Flair's Magnificent Seven stable feuding with Dustin and Dusty Rhodes.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Jarrett would wrestle one last time on the March 21st Thunder teaming with Scott Steiner to defeat Dustin Rhodes in a handicap match. After WWF bought WCW, Jarrett would not be picked up with many believing his 1999 departure was the reason. Like Luger, Jarrett would also be famously buried on the final Nitro by Vince McMahon. After briefly sitting out his AOL/Time Warner contract, Jarrett returned in late 2001 to compete for World Wrestling All-Stars where he notably became a two time WWA World Champion as well as the final champ unifying the title into the NWA World Championship upon the promotion shutting down in 2003. In 2002, Jarrett, along side his legendary father and former ECW & WCW employee Bob Ryder would form TNA as an alternative to the WWE. While TNA hasn't become a threat to WWE, they have provided fans with another major alternative over the decades. Along with working behind the scenes, Jarrett would also serve as the promotion's top star from 2002-2006 which obviously drew controversy. During his TNA run, Jarrett held the NWA World Championship six times, main evented the first two Bound For Glorys in 2005 and 2006 while engaging in big feuds with AJ Styles, Raven, Sting, and Kurt Angle to name some. From 2006-2008, Jarrett would begin to ease out of the main event and wrestling due to the illness and eventual death of his first wife. Jarrett returned to the TNA ring by 2008 but was never pushed as a top star after that and continued to appear on TV until 2011 when he finished up with TNA running their Indian promotion Ring Ka King from 2012-2013 and then would leave in 2014. Outside of his time with TNA, Jarrett would also tour the world, competing in AAA in Mexico where he held the AAA Mega Championship (the promotion's top title) and for World Series of Wrestling holding their world title. Jarrett would also tour for IWA: Puerto Rico as well. After leaving TNA, Jarrett would then form Global Force Wrestling in 2014 but despite appearances in New Japan, an invasion angle with TNA in 2015, and doing TV tapings, the promotion never took off and it eventually fizzled. After Dixie Carter sold TNA to Anthem in late 2016, Jarrett returned to TNA to oversee it. However, his return lasted less than a year as he would be fired by the fall of 2017 due to personal issues. After leaving, Jarrett would return to the WWE for the 2018 Hall of Fame and returned to AAA, capturing the Mega Title a second time. From 2019-2021, Jarrett returned to the WWE working behind the scenes as well as participating in the 2019 Royal Rumble. From 2021-2022, Jarrett became a journeyman working for Game Changer Wrestling and appearing for the NWA before returning to the WWE for another cup of coffee run while also competing in Ric Flair's final match. In late 2022, Jarrett debuted for AEW where's he's mostly worked in a variety of roles including wrestler, behind the scenes, and co-hosting their PPV pre-shows. As of 2026, Jarrett still works for AEW while also competing on the indie circuit. Outside of wrestling, Jarrett hosts his own podcast called "My World". He was inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame in 2015 and the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018. 

Scott Steiner

Background: Wrestling legend, Steiner turned pro in 1986 and spent his early years competing for World Wrestling Association in Indianapolis and the CWA in Memphis under his real name "Scott Rechsteiner". In 1989, he jumped to NWA/WCW under the Scott Steiner name where he would be paired with older brother Rick in the legendary tag team "The Steiner Brothers". The Steiners would serve as a top tag team for NWA/WCW and New Japan from 1989-1992 winning the NWA/WCW World Tag Team Championships three times, the NWA/WCW United States Tag Team Championships, the New Japan IWGP Tag Team Championships two times, and the 1990 NWA/WCW Pat O'Connor Memorial tournament while Scott would also enjoy a run with the WCW World Television Championship. From 1992-1994, The Steiners then competed for the WWF winning the WWF Tag Team Championship twice while facing the likes of The Beverly Brothers, Money Inc., The Headshrinkers, and The Quebecers. After leaving the WWF, The Steiners then returned to New Japan while doing dates for ECW. From 1996-1998, the brothers returned to WCW where captured four more tag titles while feuding with Harlem Heat and The Outsiders. In 1998, Scott would turn on Rick and join the nWo where he reinvented himself as "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner and would spend WCW's later years as one of their top stars enjoying another run with the World Television Championship, two United States Championships, and finally, in November 2000, would defeat Booker T for the World Heavyweight Championship. During this time, Scott would feud with the likes of Rick and Bill Goldberg while being a member of stables like nWo 2000, The New Blood, and The Magnificent Seven. At Greed, he defended the WCW World Title against DDP.

Where Is He Now?: After Greed, Steiner wrestled two more times, teaming with Jeff Jarrett to defeat Dustin Rhodes in a handicap match on the final Thunder on March 21st and then losing the WCW World Title to Booker T in a title vs. title match on the final Nitro on March 26th. After WWF bought WCW, Steiner would not be picked up and sat out his AOL/Time Warner contract while nursing injuries. From 2001-2002, Steiner worked for the World Wrestling All-Stars where he held their world title. He would also make a few returns to New Japan reuniting with Rick for several tag matches including challenging for the IWGP Tag Team Championship. In October 2002, after being one of the hottest free agents on the marker, Steiner resigned with WWE and returned at Survivor Series 2002. In the end, Steiner's return would be disastrous as a dream feud with Triple H resulted in several critically panned matches that killed Steiner's momentum and his WWE run never recovered. Eventually, Steiner would settle into the midcard in programs with Test and Stacy Kiebler before suffering an injury during the 2004 Royal Rumble match and was eventually released. After leaving WWE, Steiner would eventually take time off for surgery and then work the indies as well as Nu Wrestling Evolution in Europe. From 2006-2009, Steiner worked for TNA earning a bit of redemption as he became a contender for both the NWA World Championship and TNA World Championship while being a member of The Main Event Mafia where he held the TNA World Tag Team Championship with former rival Booker T. While in TNA, Steiner also cut his most famous and memorable "Steiner Math" promo. In 2008, he made one last appearance for New Japan teaming with Rick against Giant Bernard and Travis Tomko for the IWGP Tag Team Championship at Wrestle Kingdom II In Tokyo Dome. After leaving TNA in 2010, which he blame Hulk Hogan on his departure, he worked the indies until briefly returning in 2011 as a member of Hogan's "Immortal" stable. By 2012, Steiner would settle in the indie circuit most notably appearing at CHIKARA's 2019 King of Trios tournament with Jordynne Grace and  protege Petey Williams. From 2017-2018, Steiner made a few returns to TNA including teaming with Josh Matthews in a losing effort to Abyss and Jeremy Borash at Slammiversary 2017 and then a few shots in early 2018 where he won a second tag title with Eli Drake (LA Knight). From 2019-2020, Steiner worked a few matches for NWA including challenging Aron Stevens for the NWA National Championship. Steiner would eventually finish his career on the indie circuit with his last match being in 2023. By the early 2020s, Steiner and Rick rebuilt their relationship with WWE with Steiner's nephew Bronson currently competing in WWE as "Bron Breakker" while his son Brock is part of the WWE's NIL (Next In Line) Program. As of 2026, Steiner is retired but still appears at wrestling conventions and autograph signings. He was inducted into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2014 and the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022 as part of The Steiner Brothers while being inducted into the Memphis Wrestling Hall of Fame individually in 2021.

Diamond Dallas Page

Background: Wrestling legend, Page originally turned pro in 1979 but retired after three matches due to a knee injury. After working outside the business for nearly a decade, he returned to wrestling as a manager for the AWA from 1988-1990 managing the likes of Curt Hennig, Madusa, and Badd Company (Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond). In 1990, he tried out for the WWF as an announcer but wasn't hired though he made a cameo at Wrestlemania VI. After some time in the Florida based Pacific Wrestling Federation, Page joined WCW in 1991. Originally, Page continued as a manager for the Michael Hayes/Jimmy Garvin line up of The Fabulous Freebirds and Scott Hall (then The Diamond Studd) before beginning to transition to wrestling. From 1995-1996, he began to climb the ladder winning the World Television Championship and the 1996 Battlebowl. Then in 1997, he shot to the top after famously turning down an nWo invitation and then began a big feud with the legendary "Macho Man" Randy Savage. From 1998-2001, Page would be one of WCW's biggest names feuding with Raven, Goldberg, Hulk Hogan, Scott Steiner, and Jeff Jarrett. He would also win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship three times, the WCW United States Championship two times, and the WCW World Tag Team Championship four times as part of The Jersey Triad and The Insiders. At Greed, Page sought a fourth world title.

Where Is He Now?: Greed proved to be Page's last match for WCW. After WWF bought WCW, Page would be one of the few main event talents to accept a buy out and was picked up by WWF. Page debuted in June and became a member of the WCW/ECW Alliance while feuding with The Undertaker after famously stalking Taker's then wife Sara. During the feud, Page would reunite with Kanyon and captured the WWF Tag Team Championship before eventually losing them to Undertaker and Kane at Summerslam 2001. After the feud ended, Page would eventually turn babyface and do a motivational speaker type character. By early 2002, he defeated Christian for the WWF European Championship and returned to Wrestlemania and the Skydome for Wrestlemania X8 where he successfully defended against Christian in a rematch. After losing the title to William Regal, Page would eventually be drafted to the Smackdown brand after the WWF began the brand split. However, in April 2002, Page would suffer a neck injury on the April 18th Smackdown in a match against Hardcore Holly. By the summer, Page would retire and leave the WWE due to the injury and recommendation from doctors. Page's retirement didn't last as he returned in 2004 working the indies before having a short run in TNA from 2004-2005 where he feuded with Jeff Jarrett over the NWA World Championship. From 2006-2011, he wrestled sporadically while retiring a few more times. During the 2000s and 2010s, Page would embark on an acting career and began teaching yoga while creating his own yoga called "DDP Yoga". Despite retiring, he would do a few one night only returns including participating in the 2015 Royal Rumble and the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal in 2016 at Wrestlemania 32 while appearing at the All In show in 2018 and AEW's Double or Nothing in 2019 with the latter two being non-wrestling. In 2020, he wrestled his last match on the January 15th edition of AEW Dynamite teaming with Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall in a losing effort to MJF, The Butcher, and The Blade. Since the 2010s, Page has also gained praise and notoriety for assisting wrestling legends who were down on their luck such as Scott Hall and Jake "The Snake" Roberts with their famous demons and Lex Luger with his mobility issues. As of 2026, Page is retired on a WWE Legends deal making special appearances here and there while doing outside projects.
