Does anyone what happen to The Honky Tonk Man after the Survivor Series 1990? I don't remember seeing him after that event

He was a commentator on Superstars before leaving the company in 91.

After the WWF run, he had a brief WCW stint in 94 feuding with Johnny B Badd with him then returning to the WWF in 97 as a commentator/manager.

Pretty sure he had a no job policy in WCW. I think he did commentary on the Royal Rumble in 91 and was gone after that

His last appearance was on the Superstars right before it.

I remember in 1991 in IWCCW they teased Honky Tonk Man vs. "Ravishing" Rick Rude for a match but it never happened.

Haku was around until the Summer of 91. Was he? I can remember him at all after Summer 1990 LOL. On a side note? I really want a Haku figure. Essential for my Heenan family setup....in fairness he was one of the longest serving members of the family too! |

Haku was around until 1992, because he was in the Royal Rumble that year. Heenan was freaking out when Flair went after him, saying, "Oh, don't do that Flair!"
Now maybe he was injured a lot in 1991 and came back to do the Rumble in 92 and left?? I know he didn't show up to WCW until 1994 as Rob Parker's bodyguard.

They just brought him in during the Rumble as a one off. He was the replacement for either Knobbs or Marty Jannetty. |

Haku was around until the Summer of 91. Bret Hart's book, which was comprised of his notes, cites that Haku was released around late 1990. I think he was probably let go but then come Royal Rumble time they needed some extra bodies. He really didn't do anything of note except the WrestleMania match. It's too bad Honky didn't stick around after Survivor Series, though. He was a very good commentator but I'm thinking maybe there was a pay cut because who wouldn't want to work commentary for the same money they are making wrestling. But maybe he figured it would eventually lead to him being released. |
