Shortly thereafter the two began appearing regularly as a team again, but were now heels and inexplicably came to the ring wearing cone brassieres which they wore while they wrestled.

At least, they closed the scene leaving the fans happy. The Headbangers split in 1999 when Ruth suffered a knee injury and Warrington began pursuing a singles career, but reformed in late 1999 on the October 10 edition of Sunday Night Heat when Ruth came to Warrington's aid during a domestic violence angle, which saw him vilified by other wrestlers and officials alike for a number of weeks. Mosh and Thrasher looked good as former WWE & NWA tag champions, but they were cheated out of the win. They lost the titles to The Godwinns on October 5 of that same year.

Ruth made a number of appearances for the World Wrestling Federation in the early 90s including a losing effort against Marty Jannetty on the 2nd ever episode of Raw, competing under his given name as an enhancement talent. Among the wrestlers trained by Sharpe and Ruth was Chaz Warrington, Ruth's future tag team partner.

He later became Sharpe's assistant and trained wrestlers such as the Big Show and others at Sharpe's "Monster Factory". He trained as a wrestler under Larry Sharpe and debuted in 1990 as The Spider. Cleavage was a parody of Leave it to Beaver, whereas Chaz was just a dude from New Jersey who liked to have a good time.

They last competed on SmackDown 900 in November 2016, when they teamed with The Spirit Squad, The Vaudevillians, and The Ascension to defeat The Usos, Breezango, The Hype Bros, and American Alpha.
