Steve J. Rogers 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Compliments the other one Just strange final apperances by performers and characters other than simply winning/losing a match never to be seen again -Patriot WWF Last seen getting coffee dumped on by Rick Rude prior to walking down the ramp for a match with HBK -Arn Anderson WWF This is strictly the AA character, not sure if he's ever been part of the security detail that holds back wrestlers since, but the last time we saw him he was being peeded on by Steve Austin (also the last time we saw Austin for a while as well) Thats all I got this morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carnival 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Hogan's departure from WCW in 00 is the obvious one here. When was the last time we saw Ken Shamrock in WWF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 ^^^ He lost a 1st Blood Match on SD to Jericho in the late summer of 1999. Jericho, in full hockey gear, top roped splashed Shamrock a few times until he internally bled . . . I'm as shocked as you are. IIRC, he was never seen again in WWF/E programming.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Unless he was on a the last Nitro and I forgot it, DDP's exit from WCW was the Magnificiant 7's funeral for his career. Come to think of it, same with Goldberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 FWIW, DDP did cut an pre-recorded interview on the final Nitro saying what WCW meant to him and all that yada yada. As for another strange one, Heyman firing Ron Simmons on air is weird since ususually those set up returns 1-21 days later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Steve McMichael getting bleach thrown in his eyes on Nitro in Feb of 99 by Hogan, never to be heard/talked of/seen from in WCW again. I think another one would obviously be Candido and IMPACT from yesterday afternoon. Another one would probably be Bret's last apperance in WCW. Trash talking Goldberg as Steiner beat him down on a Thunder episode. What a way to end his career. Hogan's WWF exit at the KOTR 93 was pretty strange. Almost surreal.

Guest Hass of Pain Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Buff Bagwell being beaten up by Kurt Angle and Steve Austin and then thrown out of the back door of the arena never to be heard from again. The Patriot getting black ink sprayed in his eyes by The Dark Patriot and never being seen again in the GWF despite being built as the star of the promotion.

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Usually "loser leaves the promotion" means thats the last appearence of the person. "This will be the last time we see (so-and-so) again... except this coming Saturday night on Capital Carnage!" Actually any time someone loses a "loser retires/leaves WWF" match, they never do. Savage wrestled 2 days after his retirement (CV taping), Mick Foley wrestled 4 weeks later after his, Mero has been covered... who else is there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Wasn't the last time we saw Vader in WWF shortly after he was paid off by Godfather with The Hos? In a similar vein, the last appearance of Steven Regal as "The Real Man's Man" before leaving the WWF was being paid off with hos by the Godfather, who then called Regal a fag. Lenny Lane left WCW after winning a match to ensure he kept his job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"This will be the last time we see (so-and-so) again... except this coming Saturday night on Capital Carnage!" Maybe so, but that doesn't mean it's stupid. For one, Capital Carnage didn't have any bearing on the major storylines of the time period, and two, the explanation actually makes sense.

To Flair about 8 years to return, I think that might be a record in terms of leaving a promotion via "Loser Leaves Town" and the eventual return Ironically Mr Perfect returned a month later but the two never appeared on screen together I can't believe I forgot "I respect you, bookerman!" which was to be a worked shoot but ended up as a real shoot If I'm not mistaken Pillman's final onscreen apperance in the WWF was in bed with Marlena doing one of his "playing with Goldust's mind" bits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve J. Rogers 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Mick Foley wrestled 4 weeks later after his, If you want to get TECHNICAL about it, Mick Foley retired the "Cactus Jack" character that night at No Way Out as every single apperance wrestling since has been as "Mick Foley" not Cactus, not Dude Love and not Mankind, so in affect he did keep that retirement promise By the way, both Dude and Mankind had interesting final apperances, Dude's costume gets burned, and Mick throws off the mask, and rips the shirt and tie off to reveal a Cactus Jack shirt Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted April 30, 2005 This wasn't a final appearence, but DDP did the job to the Undertakers Wife the night after Summerslam, and just seemed to vanish for 2 months. Then he came back as the smiling guy who jobbed to the Big Show in 60 seconds, then became Christians mentor for a week before being injured in a match with Hardcore Holly.

Warrior/Savage - Billed as "Career vs. Career" Perfect/Flair - Billed as "Loser leaves the WWF" Mero/Gill - Mero promo said if he lost to the "Jobber", he would leave WWF.

Guest The Decadent Slacker Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Isn't the rumor that Warrior ran directly from the ring right out the door at SummerSlam '91, ending that run? If that's the case, that's my personal favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
