Rusty Brooks was simply let go, as were most of the guys of his time, due to them using him until they no longer needed him. He assisted them in many other capacities during his time with the company, including ring rentals and all of that stuff.
Rusty went on to do extremely well for himself in wrestling, doing Global in Florida with many of FL's notible talents, and then running his IPWA promotion in the 1990's. After folding IPWA to pursue working for other promotions - he started FSCW with several other wrestlers and is still running that promotion and his training school.
