Jake The Snake Roberts - Jumped to WCW

"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff - Believe he stepped back from wrestling all together for a few years

Pedro Morales - took a job as a Spanish Announcer in the WWF for a while before retiring from the business.

Mr. Fuji -Retired due to health problems that made it impossible for him to travel

Paul Roma - Not sure but I think we quit for a boxing career which didn't work out and then he joined WCW

Lord Alfred Hayes - Think he quit

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.
