Early career (1992–1997) Hans trained to be a professional wrestler by
Antonio Inoki in the
New Japan Pro-Wrestling Dojo and under
Ron Hutchison and
Sweet Daddy Siki at Sully's Gym in Toronto. He debuted as a professional wrestler in November 1992 under the ring name "Tiger Jeet Singh, Jr.", teaming with his father against
Sabu and
Kareem Sudan in a
tag team match for
Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling. He also worked with his father for Network of Wrestling in Japan and New Japan.
World Wrestling Federation (1997–2002) '' on
Viscera in 2012. Singh signed with the
World Wrestling Federation in January 1997, with the signing announced at a press conference at
SkyDome in Toronto. He made his official WWF debut on the April 21, 1997 episode of
Raw. He would disappear from WWF television in November 1997 and worked in the company's developmental territories. Returned to the WWF in June 1998 as his gimmick was that of a rich and arrogant Asiatic heir to a fortune (similar to
Ted DiBiase's character). It took Singh 5 years to fully heal from his injuries. In an appearance on
"In Conversation with Amin Dhillon" podcast, Singh reveals the extent of his injuries and how he tried to take his own life twice.
Retirement (2002–2008) The following month, Singh filed a $7 million lawsuit against World Wrestling Entertainment. Among his claims were that his career-ending injury was the result of being forced to wrestle in the rain while in Puerto Rico. He also accused other WWE wrestlers of frequently calling him "taxi driver", and that he was the victim of a
stunt in 1999 where his
dastar was stuffed with garbage. WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt countered by noting that the company was not responsible for any injuries occurring in a different organization, and that Singh's contract could legally be ended if he suffered an injury.
Later career (2008–2014) In late-2008, Hans, under the new ring name "Mick Hans", returned to wrestling as a part of the
HUSTLE promotion in Japan. He made his return by teaming up with his father in a tag team match against
Genichiro Tenryu and
Shiro Koshinaka. On June 5, 2010, Singh won a battle royal for MPW Wrestling. On September 24, 2011, Singh and
Daivari defeated Kaine and Darkko for SCW Wrestling. On July 1, 2013, at an event called TigerFest, Singh and Harry Smith defeated

Davey Boy Smith Jr. and
