During his five month run with the promotion, Sandman, who performed under the ring name Hak, was able to sqaure off against the likes of Kevin Nash, Goldberg, and Raven.

While doing a recent signing for K&S WrestleFest, the wrestling legend revealed that Konnan wanted him to join the popular Filthy Animals faction, a group that included the likes of Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman, Juventud Guerrera, and Eddie Guerrero.

"I worked with [Konnan] when he first came in his first night [in ECW]. In fact, we didn't even talk. It was a run-in, and he was late. We didn't even talk when he came into the room but I saw a couple of matches of his and he was supposed to end up like running me out and then we'd do a program but me and him got along great. Then, we went to WCW and he wanted to put me in the Filthy Animals with them but Bischoff said no, which was good anyway because 'Rap is Crap' fucking crushed them with that song. Curt Hennig, Bobby Duncam. 'Rap is Crap' was hilarious."

Elsewhere in the signing, Sandman said that he hasn't spoken to anyone from All Elite Wrestling. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
