It's no doctored photograph. A few years back, WWE put out promo pictures from Survivor Series' of the past, revealing would-be teams that didn't come to fruition for one reason or another. One of those teams was Ted Dibiase's quartet from the 1990 show.

The photo shows Dibiase with partners Rhythm and Blues (Honky Tonk Man and a comically-miscast Greg Valentine), as well as Bad News Brown. Bad News didn't make it to Survivor Series, and had in fact left the company shortly after SummerSlam 1990. Such promo photos were taken far in advance, and reflect the long-term planning that the company was known for (especially then).

Brown's replacement, of course, made a much bigger impact than a third straight year of Brown getting mad and walking out on his teammates would have.
