Nailz

Kevin Wacholz wrestled under the name Kevin Kelly in the independent circuit before becoming to the WWF as Nailz, an ex-convict of the Big Bossman. He is not the current Kevin Kelly of the WWF. He went on to feud with The Warrior, which the Warrior complained about. Nailz was soon set to face the Undertaker, when he had an altercation with Vince McMahon. (About what is unknown.) He started choking Vince and was fired on the spot. He showed up in WCW several months later as The Prisoner to face Sting. We haven't seen him since.

Patriot

He injured his arm while in the WWF in early 1998, but the WWF dropped him after he was heeled, because of its new direction. Del retired and sales cars a Herndon Chevrolet in Lexington, SC. However, he did sell the gimmick to Tom Brandi, who uses it on the indie circuit.

He was one of the Black Scorpions, managed by Gary Hart, and feuded with Nikita Koloff over the U.S. title. He left wrestling for a short time, coming back for the NWA tournaments (2nd NWA world tournament and tag tournament.) He currently lives in Tampa, but does some indy dates here and there.

Ralphus

A stagehand and trucker for WCW, Ralphus was discovered by Chris Jericho, who needed a sidekick during his last runs in the WCW. Jericho hired Ralphus as a bodyguard and was the brunt of some of the jokes. He used to wear a food stained t-shirt two sizes two small and had "Ralphus Personal security" written in marker. He was a cult figure among fans and left tv when Jericho left for the WWF. He is still trucking in the eastern U.S.

He is still acting today.
