A true mystery, Vansen's only appearance on WWE Television came via a promo where he spoke cryptically, though it was clear who he aimed to be as his first victim: The Undertaker.

Unfortunately for Vansen, and the fans he acquired during the brief segment, this would be his only WWE appearance, as he would never appear in person, and was fired not long after.

Speaking years later in an interview, Vansen said his departure came when Vince McMahon saw him in person and said he was too short to go toe-to-toe with the Phenom of the WWE.

Instead, Vansen was let go, and his career in WWE remains one of many 'what if' scenarios.
