Val Venis and the Time WWE Filmed Two Adult Film Stars

"Helllllo Ladies…." These two sultry words uttered in a deep raspy voice captivated thousands of women with no ease for the WWF’s "former" adult film star, Val Venis.

Val Venis, real name Sean Morley, was born on March 6, 1971, in Oakville, Ontario.

In Mexico, he made history under the name "Steele" by becoming Heavyweight Champion in the prestigious CMLL organization.

 Steele was the eighth-ever CMLL Heavyweight Champion and the third non-Mexican to hold the title, after Konnan and Norman Smiley.

This idea of a crossover between wrestling and adult films was pitched to McMahon, and it was greenlit.

Morley remembers that when McMahon told him that the adult film star gimmick was happening, he was very excited as it was not done before and was envelope-pushing.
