chad slivenski -lrb- born july 4 , 1972 -rrb- is a semi-retired american professional wrestler , known by his ringname chad bowman , who competed in east coast and mid-atlantic independent promotions during the 1990s and 2000s .
early in his career , slivenski spent time in regional promotions such as the united states wrestling association and smokey mountain wrestling before their close in the mid-1990s , and made occasional appearances as a preliminary wrestler in world wrestling entertainment .
slivenski also wrestles under the name `` stone cold '' chad austin , an in-ring persona he originally used in extreme championship wrestling , and continued in other philadelphia-based `` hardcore '' wrestling promotions such as combat zone wrestling and iwa mid-south .
while in ecw , austin was subject to a real-life `` shoot '' when new jack intentionally broke his leg with a steel chair .
in later shoot interviews , new jack has credited austin for inadvertently inspiring his 187 finishing move , a top rope dive onto an opponent with a steel chair , which he had first used to injure him .
a mainstay of the mid-eastern wrestling federation and maryland championship wrestling , he and kayfabe brother chip bowman were members of the `` heel '' stable total quality management with mcw heavyweight champion `` wiseguy '' jimmy cicero and mcw tag team champions cueball carmichael & dino devine from 2000 until their breakup in 2002 .
he and devine later began teaming together as the slackers and won both the mewf and mcw tag team titles .
