* CriticalDissonance: While he has a reputation (that's not entirely unfair) of riding Hulk Hogan's coattails, fans of the late 80's will remember that Beefcake was pretty over with the fans as a solid mid-card act and was a perennial contender for the Intercontinental title.

* {{Tear Jerker}}: As noted above, Beefcake was starting to really hit his stride as 1989 wound down, and 1990 was looking to be even better for him; he even notched a Wrestling/WrestleMania win over Mr. Perfect. Whatever waited for him down the road, if not for that parasailing accident, is a tragic "What If".

* GrowingTheBeard: Beefcake became a decent/good wrestler by the end of 1989. Spending a year in matches with TedDiBiase, RickMartel and RandySavage probably helped.
