His first PPV was SummerSlam 1998, he was Sable’s mystery partner against Mark Mero and Jacqueline. He had entered from the crowd. From that night onwards, fans opened their arms to her. Respect is hard to earn in New York. It’s a city full of hardworking people and big dreamers, that’s what it is, even today.
