* SmallRoleBigImpact: Konnan never really rose above the mid card in WWF. He is, however, credited for teaching a young Wrestling/BretHart how to apply the new FinishingMove suggested for him by a producer at the time. This hold became known as the Sharpshooter, which was not only iconic as the finisher for Bret (as well as relatives and associates) through the rest of his career, but also extremely important in retrospect to two landmark WWE moments that set up its critical and commercial peak in the Attitude Era - Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin's face turn and the Montreal Screwjob.
