Storylines that paid off here
The Ultimate Warrior vs. Ravishing Rick Rude (Dec 1987 – Aug 1990)
Rick Rude was the first man to pin the Ultimate Warrior in the WWF, the only man to beat him clean for the Intercontinental Championship, and, according to referees and other wrestlers who were there, the man who actually knocked Warrior out cold backstage after growing tired of getting hit for real in the ring.

Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig vs. The Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich (Aug 1990 – Feb 1991)
A parasailing accident cost Brutus Beefcake his SummerSlam 1990 title shot, and the spot went instead to Kerry Von Erich, wrestling on a secret prosthetic foot and privately telling friends he wanted to die, who beat Mr. Perfect for the WWF Intercontinental Championship anyway.
