Well Dunn returned to the WWF in 1994 and continued facing the promotions top teams, including The Headshrinkers, who held the WWF Tag Team Championship. When the titles were vacated later that year, Well Dunn entered a tournament to determine the new champions. They were eliminated in the first round by Bob Holly and the 1-2-3 Kid, however. The team's biggest feud in the WWF was with The Bushwhackers. Matches between the teams were featured on the company's primary television show, *Monday Night Raw*. Well Dunn left the WWF in 1995.

On January 9, 2017, Well passed away.
WCW Hardcore Championship

Eventually, the rules were changed so that matches began in the backstage area but would only end by pinfall in the ring, but later were changed back to 'Falls Count Anywhere' rules.
Tom Zenk

In mid-1984, Zenk joined the American Wrestling Association, where he performed as an undercard wrestler until September 1985.

In October 1986, Zenk and Rick Martel were signed by the World Wrestling Federation. They teamed together as The Can-Am Connection. In the opening bout of WrestleMania III on March 29, 1987, The Can-Am Connection defeated Don Muraco and Bob Orton, Jr.. In mid-1987, Zenk resigned from the WWF.

Zenk returned to the American Wrestling Association to wrestle a handful of matches in early 1988. He returned again one year later. On February 7, 1988, Zenk competed in a 20-man battle royal for the vacant AWA World Heavyweight Championship, in which he was the last man eliminated by the winner, Larry Zbyszko. Zenk left the AWA once more later that month.

In 1989, Zenk signed with World Championship Wrestling. He debuted at *Clash of the Champions VIII* in September 1989 under the ring name "**The Z-Man**", defeating The Cuban Assassin.

In 1990, Zenk formed a tag team with Brian Pillman. In February 1990, they won the vacant WCW United States Tag Team Championship, defeating The Fabulous Freebirds in the finals of a tournament. They went on to feud with The Midnight Express, who won the championships from them in May 1990.

During this time, Zenk tore a muscle and took several months off to recover. He appeared more slender upon returning. Z-Man then feuded with Arn Anderson over the World Television Championship, eventually winning the title. He lost the title to Anderson on January 7, 1991. Later that year, Z-Man, Dustin Rhodes and Big Josh feuded with The York Foundation and The Fabulous Freebirds over the World Six-Man Tag Team Championship.

Vicious and Delicious

Previously, Marcus Alexander Bagwell had been part of a tag team called The American Males in World Championship Wrestling, alongside Scotty Riggs. Scott Norton, having recently seen his tag team Fire and Ice (with Ice Train) break up, had been doing very little.

WCW President Eric Bischoff had recently been outed as the man behind the New World Order, and he extended an ultimatum to the WCW roster: Join the nWo, or be targeted by it. Norton and Bagwell were two of the wrestlers that answered the call, Bagwell turning on Riggs in the process.

**Vicious and Delicious** fought mainly in the midcards against the nWo's enemies. They were usually accompanied to the ring by the nWo "Head of Security" Vincent, and often teamed with Konnan, another nWo midcarder.

They fought with The Steiner Brothers, but they were never able to win the tag team titles. The tag title scene in WCW was dominated by a feud between The Steiner Brothers and the Outsiders through most of 1997 and 1998, and as The Outsiders and Vicious and Delicious were teammates in the nWo, there was little room for Vicious and Delicious to advance in the division.

## Vicious and Delicious

### Managers

Vincent

On the April 22, 1998 episode of *WCW Thunder*, Bagwell was severely injured by a flying bulldog off the top rope from Rick Steiner. With Bagwell injured, the team was quietly dropped. Norton would spend the rest of his WCW career mainly winning squash matches in the lower midcard, while Bagwell, once recovered, moved on to team with Scott Steiner.

After the pay-per-view, they disappeared off of television for a year only to resurface back on WWF television in 1996. They soon received a WWF Tag Team Title shot against The Bodydonnas, before leaving the WWF later that year.
