Just wondering, whatever happened to guys like Don Muraco, Ken Patera, Butch Reed, Rick Martel, etc.

None of those guys (and others I haven't wrote down) never do the wrestling fan expo things for pictures or autographs it seems. So does anyone know what those guys are up to now?? You never hear much about the guys who don't do the fan expo conventions.

I guess those guys just wanna live the retired life. They don't have to deal with agents,traveling etc. I can't blame em in that sense.

They do conventions, just not a lot. Butch Reed was the New York Big Event this past March. Don Muraco does the New Jersey Legends of the Ring show late 2015 and another time years ago with Mr. Fuji. Patera did this show too in late 2013. Martel is more rare.
Quite possible you don't see them a lot because they may not be local to the area of conventions. It may be financially more sound to have them rarely so more fans will want their autograph next time. Some guys are local to the show area and it may not cost a lot to bring them in.
