Her feet stabbed at the floor, her fingers tore at the air... her passions and emotions were never really human ones; instead, they were always those of a being from some supernatural realm." In 1995 and 1997 Tyrus again performed Firebird in New York, again reviewed by Anderson, who wrote of the 1995 performance,"... the most memorable characterization was that of Judy Tyrus, who moved so sharply as the Firebird that every choreographic phrase resembled a shower of sparks.

When the two returned to the ring La Parka threw L.A. Park off the top with a superplex that sent L.A. Park crashing through the table. While the crowd was generally split 50/50 for most of the match the boos were overwhelming when La Parka tried to pin L.A. Park, making it clear what outcome most of the fans were hoping for.

The day before his death, Buchanan predicted that "history will vindicate my memory". Historians have defied that prediction and criticize Buchanan for his passivity as the debate over slavery tore at and disrupted the country in the late 1850s. In terms of his legacy to American history, historian Michael Todd Landis Links and closely to his top advisor Jehu Glancy Jones: :Leading Northern Democrats such as Jones and Buchanan were not romantic defenders of working men, as some scholars have claimed; nor were they moderates striving to save the Union from extreme sectionalism. Rather, they were proslavery activists whose willful actions had direct and disastrous effects on the nation. Their policies enraged free-state voters and caused the fatal split in the Democratic Party that resulted in Lincoln’s election, which, in turn, triggered disunion.
