The alliance crumbled in February 1994 after The Sandman was temporarily blinded following a match and inadvertently struck his wife, Peaches.

The Sandman subsequently became estranged from his wife (claiming "life's a bitch, and then you marry one"), and Peaches became the valet of Cairo.

The Sandman later revealed that his "blinding" had been an elaborate ruse concocted to trick Dreamer into hurting Cairo on his behalf.

On June 24, 1995 in Williamstown, New Jersey, Cairo defeated Devon Storm in the finals of a tournament for the vacant NWA North American Heavyweight Championship.

Cairo returned to the business in 2011 with Coastal Pro Wrestling (again with former partner Phil Varlese, and with former NWA official Fred "Richards" Rubenstein).

Coastal signed on as a National Wrestling Alliance affiliate, and eventually a licensee, but broke away a year later due to differences with the ownership of the NWA.
