On the May 19, 1997 episode of "Raw" Wippleman appeared in a backstage segment with Stone Cold Steve Austin telling Wippleman that he was going to be his tag team partner with Wippleman responding that he was scared. Wippleman also appeared as "Handsome Harvey," introducing D-Generation-X on "Raw" on November 24, 1997. This was to make fun of Rick Rude. Rude had been a member of DX and had just left the company a week earlier to go to WCW. This resulted in Rude being on both "Raw" and "WCW Monday Nitro" on the same night. (At the time, "Raw" was taped every other week while "Nitro" was live every week).
