When the audience chanted "boring", Doring would pretend that they were chanting for him.
In December 1997, Doring changed his gimmick to that of a womanizer, and formed an unlikelytag team with his fellow House of Hardcore graduate,Roadkill. They were managed byAngelica, his on-screen girlfriend, for six months, until she left ECW in October 1999 atRe-enter the Sandman to join theWorld Wrestling Federation as Lita, and then byElektra until sheturned on them in 2000.
