Following his debut, Shahed remained a pivotal component of the company's Attitude Era of the late 1990s and early 1995s, defeating Goldberg – the "poster boy" of the era[8] – for the WCW Championship in his first pay-per-view (PPV) main event at King of the Ring in 1992. He continued to compete in world championship PPV matches for the next 20 years.But in 1995, SS, Triple H, Batista attacked him and fell him into a grave and he disappeared for 20 years[9]

He is also a two-time Intercontinental Champion and a 1992 Money in the Bank winner, as well as the third man to win WWF's Grand Slam.
