Forgot about Prince Nana too, I'm surprised he hasn't come back to some indy in this recent boomlet going on. He has! He's been doing some shows for Outlaw Wrestling in NY. He also popped up managing a job team on AEW Dark when they were on Long Island.

A lot of the things Nana did 15-20 years back could get an indy promotion "cancelled". Could you imagine someone doing stuff like ROH did with Nana (et al.) and Jade Chung in 2005?
February 16, 20223 yr comment_5975373 I don't think calling yourself 'the other African virus' was ever appropriate
February 18, 20223 yr comment_5975522 So, I guess the Austin level stuff is Taker getting in the HOF. Apart from a Rock appearance, I just don't see anything else. Hogan can't be it, not anymore.
February 18, 20223 yr comment_5975534 I thought it was supposed to be a surprise on the same level as Austin, not the same level of star. That was my read on it, so my thought is that it's somebody from another company you wouldn't expect to show up. Not saying this is at all going to happen, but if Tanahashi showed up, that would be an 'Austin level surprise.'

February 18, 20223 yr comment_5975536 The 'Austin level' thing is Meltzer's, so it doesn't have anything to do with Vince, plus it was a hypothetical.
February 18, 20223 yr comment_5975546 I do wonder how lavish Taker's ceremony will be considering it's by far the best gimmick that was 100% created by/in WWE.

February 19, 20223 yr comment_5975555 In the "even a broken clock is right twice a day" category, Kevin Dunn's seizure inducing camera cuts actually did a pretty good job covering up the horrible Charlotte botch.
February 19, 20223 yr comment_5975556 Sami vs Nakamura has been very good. Once a year Shinsuke puts on his working boots
