Later Years
Representing NWA New England, Magliaro appeared with The Brotherhood (Erich Sbraccia and Knuckles Nelson) who would win the NWA World Tag Team Championship in a four way elimination match against Tully Blanchard and Tom Prichard, The Border Patrol and Team Extreme (Kit Carson and Khris Germany) during the NWA's 50th Anniversary Show in October 1998.
Magliaro would continue running NWA New England until his death following a heart attack on November 13, 1999. Following Magliaro's death, his wife Victoria Van Ellen Magliaro Rumble took over ownership of the promotion which later became NWA Cold Front and eventually Victory Championship Wresting (based in Everett, MA). Jason Della Gatta, who both runs live events and competes in the promotion as "Jason Rumble", is claimed to be the son of Magliaro's in-ring persona. However, the two are not related. VCW runs an annual "Tony Rumble Memorial" show. The Millennium Wrestling Federation has also featured an annual Tony Rumble Memorial Battle Royal with Todd Hanson, Bull Montana (Rumble's best friend and best man at his wedding), Ox Baker and Rick Fuller winning the most recent held on August 4, 2007. Magliaro's Tony Rumble is frequently mentioned/referenced during VCW's Livewire television program.

Decorum and calm were restored.
He did nothing hateful
For which we were grateful
But terribly, terribly bored.”
