WWF Hasbro Action Figure - Texas Tornado

In mid-1990, Texas Tornado signed a contract with Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and debuted on the July 28, 1990 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event as a fan favorite under the ring name Texas Tornado (with him being openly acknowledged as Kerry Von Erich by announcers), defeating Buddy Rose, who coincidentally was his first opponent in his career.[41] At SummerSlam, Tornado substituted for the injured Brutus Beefcake and defeated Mr. Perfect (Curt Hennig) to win the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship.[42][43] After he became champion, Tornado defended the title for three months including a match against Haku on the October 13 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event[44] before losing the title back to former champion Mr. Perfect in a rematch on the December 15 (taped November 19) edition of Superstars.[45] Kerry lost this match, and the title to Perfect due to alleged interference from "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase.[45]

At Survivor Series in 1990, while still Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, he wrestled in a Survivor Series match where he teamed with then WWF World Heavyweight Champion The Ultimate Warrior (formerly The Dingo Warrior in World Class) and the Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal). He was eliminated by long-time rival Mr. Perfect, but his team won the match.[46]

Later years (1991–1992)[edit]
At the Royal Rumble in 1991, he participated in the Royal Rumble match where he entered fifth and was eliminated by The Undertaker after lasting nearly half an hour.[47] He made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania VII, defeating Dino Bravo following a Tornado Punch.[48] Von Erich continued to be heavily pushed for the first half of 1991 and did not suffer another pinfall defeat until August 17, 1991 when he was defeated by The Warlord in Landover, MD. At SummerSlam, he teamed with the British Bulldog and Ricky Steamboat in a six-man tag team match to defeat the team of The Warlord and Power and Glory (Paul Roma and Hercules).[49]

In October 1991 Von Erich renewed his old rivalry with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, being among the first to face him when the NWA World Champion joined the WWF. Flair defeated Von Erich multiple times during the WWF's tour of England that month.[50] Later that month "The Texas Tornado" suffered his first lopsided loss when he was squashed by The Undertaker in less than four minutes on the November 10th episode of Prime Time Wrestling.[50] At Survivor Series, he teamed with Sgt. Slaughter, Jim Duggan, and Tito Santana against Colonel Mustafa, The Berzerker, Skinner, and Hercules. He did not eliminate anyone, but his entire team survived.[51] He made his last pay-per-view (PPV) appearance at the Royal Rumble in 1992; he participated in the Royal Rumble match for the vacant WWF World Heavyweight Championship. He was eliminated by the eventual winner Ric Flair, the man Von Erich beat eight years before for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.[8][52] Kerry's push continued to subside in early 1992. He was relegated to a house show feud with Skinner in which he came out victorious; in February he began a house show series with Rick Martel and was winless.

After an absence of several months, Von Erich returned to action following WrestleMania VIII and defeated Marc Roberts on the April 20th episode of WWF Superstars. However he now found himself as an opening card act programmed against low level competition like Barry Horowitz, Kato(Paul Diamond), and Skinner. While undefeated against them in multiple matches, Von Erich was unable to move back up into contention as he suffered several losses against Rick Martell, Nailz, and Kamala. Following a series of house show losses to Kamala, Von Erich left the WWF in August 1992 .
