Konnan became a huge star in Mexico in the early 1990s, feuding with Jake Roberts and headlining shows for AAA. After a very brief run with WWE, Konnan attempted to make a splash in the U.S. with ECW. He began feuding with The Sandman, and while he was able to score victories over other talent (including a 14 second squash of Jason at November 2 Remember 1995), Sandman defeated him in two ECW Heavyweight Title matches. Soon after that, Konnan signed with WCW.
