Shark Boy first gained recognition while appearing at the Brian Pillman memorial shows. He was signed to a contract by WCW in 1999. His brief stint saw him making various appearances on WCW Thunder and WCW Saturday Night, before being released in early 2000.

An incredible high-flyer, Shark Boy wasn't used to his fullest potential in WCW. He never got the chance to perform in WWE and made his way to IMPACT Wrestling (formerly known as TNA) on July 31, 2002. He lost to Jimmy Rave in his debut match in TNA. For more than a decade, Shark Boy remained a mainstay in TNA and proved his mettle in the squared circle during his stint there.
He requested his release from TNA in early 2011 and was granted the same. Shark Boy went on to make several appearances for the company over the next four years. He could have had some incredible matches against the likes of Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero, and Tajiri in WWE in the early 2000s when the Cruiserweight division was on fire.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
