He was part of the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team ‘Men on a Mission’ with his team partner Mabel from 1993 till 1995.
Together they won the WWF World Tag Team Championship from The Quebecers on March 29, 1994 in London, England but lost them back to The Quebecers just 2 days later in Sheffield, England.
Both title changes happened at untelevised house shows and at this point it’s not known, whether the full matches were even taped by the WWF or not.
