Every Star Of The Last WCW Nitro: Where Are They Now?

4. Elix Skipper

Another forgotten WCW star banished to the Heartland Wrestling Association, Elix Skipper wrestled a style that WWE sneered at back then. They don't anymore, and Skipper is an indirect but not inconsiderable influence on the changing of the norm. A standout in TNA, his legendary daredevil cage walk - from some 15 feet in the air - was so audacious and executed so perfectly that it remains a dormant virus that lights up Twitter every now and again. His electric work in the tag team division is fondly remembered by long-term Impact fans.

He hasn't wrestled this decade, and has settled into his life after wrestling as an Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar manager in Georgia. Tragically, Skipper lost his son in 2009, who has murdered by a gunman in his home. A tragic and senseless loss.
