Dino Bravo and The Texas Tornado were spoilt by their spot at the 'Show Of Shows' somewhat, considering how little they'd been up to after their 1990 mini-pushes subsided.
Kerry Von Erich's boom-to-bust WWE run bordered on McMahon machiavellism until it became apparent how emotionally unprepared he appeared for the pressure of the secondary spot. With his Intercontinental Title reign concluding shortly after the Survivor Series right as Bravo's tenure alongside Earthquake similarly slid from view, the two had no reason to exist other than to pad out lower card spots such as these.
By WrestleMania VIII, neither would be part of proceedings, and by IX they'd have tragically both passed away. As far as 'Grandest Stage' sendoffs go, this was better than nothing, but only just.
