Hey Everyone,
Thought I'd open up a fun LJN thread as there hasn't been much LJN action on here in a while.
Of all the LJN figures, what ones do you know are currently still touring with WWE, TNA, or Indy federations?
Off the top of my head, I can think of:
Slaughter
Neidhart
Kamala
Hogan
McMahon
Jake the Snake
Million Dollar Man (non wrestling role)
Koko
One other question, I had while making that list. Is the Kamala that you see on tour today the original Kamala from WWE or the indy's before that?

I am pretty sure that The Hammer, Beefcake and Honkytonk Man still wrestle on a regular basis.
Doesn't Tito Santana wrestle on occassions?

The original Ugandan Giant Kamala (Jim Harris) is semi-retired and apparently also a gifted singer ( www.thegiantkamala.com) Then there's Kamala II (Ben Peacock) who wrestled in ECW (as Uganda) and Japan (where he even teamed with the original Kamala) So, when lucky, you can see the original one, otherwise Kamala II  |

So it seems that Duggan is the only LJN superstar that is still wrestling with WWE. Interesting.
Am I dreaming or was kamala around when Umaga first had his debut? I seem to remember a match between the two.

Jimmy Snuka is still wrestling in the indies ... in fact I met him last night at a show. He now does the Superfly splash off the 2nd turnbuckle instead of the top, and it's not really a "leap" anymore. It's more of a "fall forward."
Snuka was one of the original 5 LJN figures, so for him to still be working matches is pretty incredible, seeing as LJNs first came out 24 years ago.

Jimmy Valiant never had a WWF LJN figure. LJN put out a figure of his "brother" Johnny V depicting him during his later manager years.
Jim Neidhart and Bret Hart still do appearances, and "The Anvil" wrestles on occasion.
Also still active:
The Warlord
Demolition Ax
Jake Roberts
Piper (indy show Piper's Pits)
There are a lot of dead wrestlers too.
Davey Boy
Hercules
Andre
Studd
Bossman
Liz
Blassie
JYD
Adonis
Bam Bam
