A lot of the big draws from the 80s are gone now. Andre, Macho Man, Roddy Piper, Ultimate Warrior, Junkyard Dog, Big John Studd
So who's still alive that was a 'big' name and draw? I'm only counting those who were in the WWF in the 80s, not NWA/WCW.
Hulk Hogan
Ted DiBiase
Sgt. Slaughter
Iron Sheik
Nikolai Volkoff
Jesse Ventura
Ricky Steamboat
That's about all of the big names I can think of. -

Shawn Michaels was pretty big as was Ric Flair. So was Bruno Sammartino (though he dates even further back). Not to mention names like Bob Backlund, Mike Rotunda (IRS), Vince McMahon, Jimmy Hart, Gene Okerlund, Barry Windham etc. Pretty sure there are quite a few of the 80s WWF Superstars still alive, even though mny of them have since p5b4assed on.

sorry to sadden you but bruno just passed away about a year ago and mean gene okerlund passed away a few months to a year ago
sadly most wrestlers in the wwe pass way way before their time due to heart conditions from using steroids i'd have to say. all these big names have died by like 55 or 60 years old. it's so sad. just about half of all the biggest names in the wwe in the '80s and '90s have died already.
