"Macho Man" Randy Savage

This was not the Macho Man of old, he wrestled in a long sleeve black shirt and pants. He only appeared for the closing moments of the match but was able to beat up everyone before reversing a sunset flip into a pin.

Ultimate Warrior
June 25, 2008 NEW Summer Tour, Barcelona, Spain
defeated NEW Champion: Orlando Jordan to win the title
It was Warriors first match in ten years and he didn't look like the Ultimate Warrior. He had the face paint, trunks and tassels, but short gray hair and not the physic he once had. He won with a shoulder tackle.
Warrior passed away April 8, 2014 the Tuesday after WrestleMania XXX weekend where he was inducted in the Hall of Fame, appeared at Mania, and appeared on Raw cutting a powerful promo.
Yokozuna
October 10, 1999 Heroes of Wrestling PPV, Bay St. Louis, MO
with Jake Roberts lost to Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart & King Kong Bundy
This is the last recorded match I can find of Yoko. When he died he was in Liverpool, England on a tour for Brian Dixon's All Star Wrestling, I can't find and record of any matches he may have participated in.
Yokozuna passed away October 23, 2000
