World Wrestling Federation (1999-2000)

In 1996 he sent a video cassette with clips to the World Westling Federation and was allowed to participate in a tryout in October 1997. In January 1998 he signed a development contract with WWF and was trained by Tom Prichard at Power Pro Wrestling in Memphis , Tennessee . He made his debut at WWF on April 13, 1999 as Meat on Sunday Night Heat . He attacked Tiger Ali Singh there . In his first role he appeared as a pleasure boy for the Pretty Mean Sisters ( Terri Runnels , Jacqueline and Ryan Shamrock ). Meat was allowed to win several matches, including against Droz , Brian Christopher and The Blue Meanie . Shortly thereafter, however, he was demoted to a jobber .

After a few months the storyline was dropped and Stipich took on as Shawn Stasiak. He had a brief feud in the fall of 1999 with Kurt Angle , who played his first match against him in the 1999 Survivor Series .

In December 1999, he was fired from WWF for taping an argument between Davey Boy Smith and Steve Blackman without their permission.

World Championship Wrestling (2000-2001)

After Stipich had initially started for independent promotions, he was able to sign a contract with World Championship Wrestling in the spring of 2000. First he trained in the Power Plant with Paul Orndorff . He then made his debut on April 10, 2000 at Nitro with an attack on Curt Hennig . He later joined The New Blood group and began a feud with Hennig. He was then given nicknames like "The Perfect One" or "PerfectShawn", which refer to "Mr. Perfect ”, alluded to Hennig's character in the WWF. Stasiak was able to defeat Hennig twice, once at the pay-per-view slamboree.

In May, Stasiak founded the Perfect Event tag team with Chuck Palumbo . The two became World Tag Team Champions after defeating KroniK ( Brian Adams and Bryan Clark ). This led to a feud against KroniK, in the course of which the tag team stable Natural Born Thrillers was founded. Stasiak and Palumbo won the World Tag Team Title two more times, but were then split. Stasiak and Mark Jindrak became tag team partners. After a match at SuperBrawl Revenge on February 18, 2001, the team disbanded.

In March 2001, Stipich began performing as a single wrestler. Stacy Keibler (Miss Hancock) appeared as his companion. He was nicknamed "The Mecca of Manhood". He mainly appeared as a heel and had a feud with Bam Bam Bigelow that ran until the last Nitro edition on March 26, 2001. WCW had been bought up by WWF and Stipich's contract was also transferred to WWF.

WWF / WWE (2001-2002)

As part of the storyline, Stipich again appeared as Shawn Stasiak as part of a table of former WCW wrestlers. He was introduced this time as a clumsy wrestler who kept getting mishaps. In August 2001, Keibler appeared as his companion a few times until she became the manager of the Dudley Boyz . Shortly afterwards, Stipich was injured and had to take a break until October. When he returned, he was injured again and had a bursa removed from his knee. In February 2002 he trained with the Heartland Wrestling Association to get fit for the ring again. In March 2002 he returned to WWE and became part of WWE Raw , his first appearance he awaited on April 7, 2002 against Tommy Dreamer on Sunday Night Heat .

He got a new gimmick where he claimed to come from the planet "Stasiak" and heard voices speaking to him in rhyme. With this gimmick he competed until the end of his active wrestling time. He won and lost the WWE hardcore title several times against, among others, Steven Richards , Justin Credible , Bradshaw and Tommy Dreamer . He requested his release in September and left WWE on September 27, 2002.
