In 1993 , Cairo wrestled several matches with the Japanese UWF International promotion . In the same year , Cairo joined Eastern Championship Wrestling , where he used the song " We Will Rock You " by Queen as his entrance music . On May 14 , 1993 in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , Cairo won a battle royal to become the inaugural NWA Pennsylvania Heavyweight Champion . He held the title until August 7 , 1993 , when he was defeated by Tony Stetson . Cairo was originally an ally of The Sandman , assisting him in his feud with Jason Knight . The alliance crumbled after The Sandman was temporarily blinded following a match and inadvertently struck his wife , Peaches . When The Sandman regained his sight and saw Cairo assisting Peaches to her feet , he attacked Cairo . The Sandman subsequently became estranged from his wife ( claiming " life ' s a bitch , and then you marry one " ) , and Peaches became the valet of Cairo . The Sandman , who had abandoned his " surfer " gimmick in favour of a " pimp " gimmick , claimed that Cairo had neglected to pay one of The Sandman ' s prostitutes , Woman . The Sandman began harassing Cairo and Peaches , demanding Cairo " Pay Your Bills ! " This eventually became Cairo ' s nickname . Following the highly publicised caning of Michael P . Fay in Singapore on May 5 , 1994 , Cairo and Peaches faced The Sandman and Woman in an intergender " Singapore Caning " match on May 14 , 1994 . After Cairo and Peaches defeated their opponents , Peaches caned The Sandman ' s crotch until Woman threw salt in her eyes , enabling The Sandman to regroup and use his cane on both Cairo and Peaches . The feud led to a " Cane on a Pole " match on June 24 , 1994 that The Sandman won after retrieving a second cane from beneath the ring , and a " Dueling Canes " match on July 16 , 1994 at Heat Wave 1994 that was also won by The Sandman . In late 1994 , The Sandman was once again " blinded " after a lit cigarette was pushed into his eye during an " I Quit " match with Tommy Dreamer . The Sandman subsequently claimed that he would have to retire as a result , with Dreamer responding by dedicating the remainder of his career to The Sandman . Cairo began mocking The Sandman , which led to Dreamer heavily beating him in a match on November 5 , 1994 at November to Remember 1994 . During The Sandman ' s retirement ceremony , The Sandman reconciled with Peaches ( Woman had abandoned him upon his blinding ) before revealing that he was not in fact blinded and attacking Dreamer . The Sandman later revealed that his " blinding " had been an elaborate ruse concocted to trick Dreamer into hurting Cairo on his behalf . Cairo left ECW in the mid - 1990s . On June 24 , 1995 in Williamstown , New Jersey , Cairo defeated Devon Storm in the finals of a tournament for the vacant NWA North American Heavyweight Championship .
