It's interesting to look back at the pre-Attitude Era shows and see precisely who was on them. Chances are that many of those same men would still be with WWE once Attitude kicked off, free from the silly and inane gimmicks that they were saddled with in those "New Generation" years.

One need only look at the Dark Side vs. Royals match from the 1995 event to understand. While Savio Vega and Henry Godwinn were out of the picture by the end of 1998, the other six demonstrated some serious longevity.

The Undertaker is obvious, while the entire heel contingent were part of WWE programming in 2008: King Mabel (as Big Daddy V), Hunter Hearst Helmsley (better days ahead as Triple H), Isaac Yankem (better days ahead as Kane), and Jerry Lawler, the ever-present commentating force. All sans the late Mabel are still involved with WWE to present day. Even Undertaker's other partner Fatu maintained a presence on WWE programming as Rikishi through 2004.
