Mane is best known for his acting, especially for his role as Sabretooth in the early 2000s X-Men movies. However, before his acting career took off, he had a stint in professional wrestling. As Big Sky in WCW, he competed in various matches, with one of his most notable appearances being at WCW Fall Brawl 1993 where he faced Charlie Norris. Mane also wrestled against top names in the business such as Davey Boy Smith and Ric Flair and competed in other wrestling promotions including CMLL, EMLL, and AJPW.
