Sean Waltman was in several huge factions and that certainly overshadowed his time here, which has led to it being forgotten. Nowadays, Waltman is working on a Legends deal, being used by WWE when needed while he has remained part of the independent scene as well.

Old School Faction | Current Work | Former Names |
|---|---|---|
Team NWA | Independent scene | Still the same |
The Rock N' Roll Express are an impressive tag team, rightfully being considered to be one of the best of all time. However, that doesn't mean every moment of their career was memorable and the Team NWA faction was a great example of that.
This group was supposed to bring elements of the iconic NWA into WWE, with Jim Cornette being in charge, but it didn't quite work. Despite that, Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson are both impressively still wrestling at a high level on the indies.

The Corporation | N/A | Still the same |
Ken Shamrock was a brilliant performer in WWE, and he got the chance to be a member of The Corporation because of that. However, he's often overlooked and not spoken about in the manner that he deserves, which is largely because WWE doesn't talk about him.
