What happened to some of the old wrestlers...Dutch Mantell, Bobby Eaton, Bill Dundee...etc?

Question

I watched these guys when I was younger, along with some of the others..Does anybody have a clue where they are now and what they are doing.

Answer 1

Wayne Cowan (born November 29, 1949) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Dutch Mantel. He currently is semi-retired but still makes occasional wrestling appearances. His main job is with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as head writer behind the scenes.

As of 2006, Eaton is still competing on the independent wrestling circuit. He worked two shows in April and one in July for the United Wrestling Association in Knoxville.

Dundee is still active as of 2005 in Lawler's Memphis Wrestling where he has been a heel and a baby-face. He is the proprietor of "Bill Dundee's Club" a topless entertainment club located at Exit 126 on Interstate 40, near the Tennessee River in West Tennessee. He frequently appears on a talk show on the community-access cable channel in McKenzie, Tennessee.

Answer 2

Bobby Eaton, as I understand, is a road agent with WWE (unless he was released). As for Dutch Mantell and "Superstar" Bill Dundee, I have no clue.

Answer 3

I actually saw Bobby Eaton wrestle in NC about last year. And I had a chance to speak to him, and he is kinda out of it most of the time. I spoke to the promoter, and he says that Eaton has lost a lot of brain cells over the years, and that hes not even allowed to drive himself to indy shows anymore. From what I heard hes kinda crazy now, but he still wrestles a good match.

Answer 4

Bobby Eaton suffered a mild heart attack recently.
