He's a bonafide legend, and has influenced many younger generations of wrestling talents.

Tully has resurfaced in AEW in recent years, first as a manager to Shawn Spears and then former tag team champions FTR. On a March 3, 2021, special episode of Dynamite (entitled "The Crossroads"), Tully had his first match in 14 years.

Tully tagged with Dax Hardwood and Cash Wheeler to defeat Jurassic Express in a match where they were managed by Four Horsemen's long-time manager JJ Dillon.
