 One month later, Shrader teamed with Watsumi the Rising Sun and Chad Austin in a 6-man elimination tag team match against the American Ninja, Johnny Paradise and The Comet at Kenwood High School in Essex, Maryland; though he and Watsumi were eliminated from the contest, their team won the match when Austin ended up as the sole survivor.In 1994, Shrader started wrestling for the Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation.It was at this time that he stated using his more familiar moniker "The Shark", a reference to his "pool hustling" days, and whose in-ring persona similarly portrayed an ex-pool shark complete with a pool cue he used as a foreign object.
