Following the highly publicised caning of Michael P. Fay in Singapore on May 5, 1994, Cairo and Peaches faced The Sandman and his new manager, Woman, in an intergender "Singapore Caning" match on May 14, 1994 at When Worlds Collide. 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 at Hostile City Showdown that was ruled a No Contest after the cane fell off the pole and The Sandman retrieved a second cane from beneath the ring, and a "Dueling Canes" match on July 16, 1994 at Heat Wave 1994 that was won by The Sandman.
