At the event , the team of The Hulkamaniacs ( Hulk Hogan , Jake " The Snake " Roberts , and Demolition ) faced The Million Dollar Team ( Ted DiBiase , Zeus , and the Powers of Pain ) . Zeus was eliminated from the match via disqualification after refusing to break a chokehold on Hogan and shoving the referee away . The Hulkamaniacs went on to win the match . After the Survivor Series , the feud between Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake versus Randy Savage and Zeus ended with a steel cage match on December 27 , 1989 .

Tommy Lister was charged on August 31 , 2012 , in California Central District federal court with conspiring to commit mortgage fraud in a scheme that led to $ 3 . 8 million in losses . He was charged with one count of conspiracy . In a plea agreement Lister agreed to plead guilty to the conspiracy charges . The court documents outline a scheme that ran from November 2005 through June 2007 . The documents state that Lister conspired with several other individuals to fraudulently acquire title to four residential properties he could not afford . With the help of these individuals and others , Lister obtained mortgages for the four properties through fraudulent means , including submitting mortgage applications that included inflated income and asset amounts , fabricating bank statements and falsifying other documents to substantiate the fraudulent statements in the loan applications , and falsifying escrow records to deceive lenders into believing Lister had made required down payments . In addition to fraudulently obtaining the mortgages , Lister and his co - conspirators concealed from lenders the fact that he would receive kickbacks from sellers after the real estate deals closed . Relying on the fraudulent applications and documents , lenders issued mortgages totaling $ 5 . 7 million . Lister subsequently defaulted on the four mortgages , causing those lenders and their successors to lose approximately $ 2 . 6 million . After acquiring title to the four residential properties , Lister obtained fraudulent home equity lines of credit on each of the four properties . Lister drew down a total of $ 1 , 146 , 000 in cash from the four HELOCs , but did not pay back any of the principal . Lister also admitted in his plea agreement that a certified tax preparer and co - conspirator Arcelia Chavez , 48 , of Northridge , California aided and abetted him in obtaining one of the fraudulent mortgages and a fraudulent HELOC by preparing a false CPA letter , as well as fabricating W - 2s and a pay stub . The false CPA letter stated that Chavez had prepared Lister ’ s tax returns . Chavez separately admitted in her plea agreement that she prepared the false and fictitious documents , actions that caused lenders to lose approximately $ 1 . 1 million .
