Smith had a notable match at The Night the Line Was Crossed on February 5, 1994, in which he defeated Mike Awesome. On the March 22 episode of "Hardcore TV", Smith defeated The Tazmaniac to win the Television Championship. During the match, Smith rescued Woman from The Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Rocco Rock), which resulted in a rivalry between Smith and Public Enemy. Smith successfully defended the title against Rockin' Rebel at the inaugural Ultimate Jeopardy event on March 26. He lost the title to The Pitbull on the April 19 episode of "Hardcore TV" after Public Enemy attacked Smith before the match. At When Worlds Collide, Smith teamed with The Bruise Brothers (Don and Ron) to defeat Public Enemy, Mr. Hughes and Shane Douglas in a handicap elimination match when he became the survivor of his team by single-handedly eliminating Public Enemy.
