I was wondering what ever happened to a few wrestlers and thought this would be a good place to ask. Perhaps this could be a continuing thread (like the "Question For Mark" on the CPC thread) for anyone else who has the same question about different wrestlers.
Okay, here we go:
Ranger Ross (wrestled in NWA in 88-89)
Scott Norton (seemed to fizzle out after the NWO split up)
Ice Train (wrestled in WCW as "Fire & Ice" with Norton, 1996)
Sgt. Craig Pittman (WCW, mid-90's)
Curtis Hughes (AKA Mr. Hughes)
Any help here would be appreciated.

norton didnt fizzle out after the nwo
he went over to japan and became the iwgp heavyweight champion
he is only the 3rd american wrestler to accomplish that
hogan and vader are the only 2 others
his career actually took off after the nwo ended and he went to japan

Thank You! You see, that's the kind of info I was looking for!
I meant that he fizzled out of the American scene. I don't follow Japan that much.

Don't quote me or hold me to this but I think I recall hearing a few months ago that Ranger Ross got into some kind of trouble with the law. I think it was robbery or something, like I said I heard this from some second hand source on the net so take it for what its worth I guess.

You know what, that's what got me originally thinking about him a few months ago. I probably heard whatever it was that you did.

HEY BIG BRI! This is the "other Brian" you mail your awesome card results to! Let me see if I can continue this thread...
What ever happened to:
1. Sting?
2. Ultimate Warrior?
3. Jim Neidhart?
4. Terry Funk, the "original" hardcore?
5. Goldberg (and I know I'm gonna get razzed for that one, but he was a god to me)?
6. Kronik, Brian Clark and Bryan Adams?
Any help on where these guys are would be great!

Hey Brian (you know what, I thought that was you!).
Sting popped up in TNA for a couple of one-shot appearances. There is also a biography movie of him that went straight-to-video last year and I heard it's horrible, although I would still like to see it.
I heard that Goldberg worked a card in Japan, or was preparing to.
Brian Adams continues to be Randy Savage's personal b!tch in all of Savage's endeavors.
That's all the help I can really give you there. After reading the Midnight Express thread, I was wondering whatever happened to Bart Gunn?

Last I heard, Bart Gunn was wrestling in New Japan as Mike Barton.

Dean Malenko works backstage for the WWE, and you can sometimes see him breaking up brawls with the other road agents.
Bull Buchanan works for All-Japan as part of the RO&D. I know the D stands for Destroy, but the voice on their theme music isn't very clear, so I don't know what the R and O stand for. The RO&D is a NWO type group consisting of ex-WWE wrestlers, led by TAKA Michinoku. Members include D-Lo Brown, Bull, Jamal from Three Minute Warning, and I think Johnny Stamboli is a member now too. Taiyo Kea is also a member, but he was never in the WWE.
AWOL died last year.
I think Saturn works somewhere in Japan, but I'm not sure.
Juvy made a few TNA appearances, and a few shows in Japan for NOAH and Zero One. I'm not sure if he's wrestling outside of Mexico currently.
I'm pretty sure the Godfather is retired.

I heard that Perry Saturn had gotten stabbed breaking up an attempted assault or rape. He was keeping the whole thing hush until he got well enough to wrestle again which he eventually did recently. Don't quote me on any of that though.

www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/profiles/index.htmlThis site has a ton of info on past and present wrestlers, so you can quite easily find out about all of them. I tried to insert the link, but I couldn't figure out how to do it on this board. Hopefully the address works, because, as I said, it's a very useful site for those wanting more info on certain wrestlers. Jay

No problem...I found the site while searching for info on Tenru and Tenzan for my federation. Most of it is up to date, at least within the last few months. Hope everyone finds it useful!

LOL! Maybe you shouldn't have put the website link up, you killed the thread! (j/k)

Well I was too lazy to answer about every wrestler. Plus I figured I'd come off as some know-all wrestling guru when in reality, I usually find stuff out by accident.
Although I am curious if anyone found the site useful?
