For a while The Wall had an ongoing feud with Kidman and Vampiro.

The Wall took on The Demon at SuperBrawl where The Wall beat The Demon.

The Wall then feuded with Bam Bam Bigelow, who was angry after The Wall developed a sadistic streak and attacked younger wrestlers, including David Flair and Crowbar.

This led to Uncensored where Wall and Bigelow fought in a match where The Wall put Bigelow through a table.

Crowbar and Flair tried to get revenge on The Wall, but he gave Crowbar a chokeslam off a 20-foot-high platform, sending Crowbar through the stage.
