Tenta returned for an appearance in the Gimmick Battle Royal at WrestleMania X-Seven in 2001. He passed away due to bladder cancer in 2006.

Meanwhile, Ottman worked for WWE from 1989 to 1993, going by Tugboat before the name change to Typhoon. His most infamous pro wrestling moment came in his WCW debut as The Shockmaster in August 1993.

Ottman wrestled his last match in East Coast Pro Wrestling in 2009.
