, Florida Championship Wrestling
and Ohio Valley Wrestling
, all of which were at one time World Wrestling Entertainment
developmental territories, as well as a brief stint in International Wrestling Association
, where he twice won the Hardcore

While signed to a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment, Bzibziak achieved considerable success in FCW and OVW where he wrestled under the name Chet Jablonski or Chet the Jet. He won the HWA Heavyweight Championship
once and the HWA Tag Team Championship
a record seven times with Dean Jablonski, Cody Hawk and Derrick Neikirk between 2000 and 2003. He also won the Heavyweight
and Tag Team Championships
in Ohio Valley Wrestling with Seth Skyhawk and Steve Lewington in 2005 and 2007, respectively. He and Lewington were known as Terminal Velocity while teaming in Ohio Valley Wrestling.
It was while competing in Florida Championship Wrestling in 2008 that he and Derrick Neikirk, among other developmental wrestlers, were suspended and eventually released from their contracts as a result of violating the company's Wellness Program. Prior to his release, he had been preparing to join the main WWE roster.
, Bzibziak moved to Norwood, Ohio
in September 1999 to train at Les Thatcher
's Main Event Pro-Wrestling Camp. He and his best friend Jesse Guilmette worked as part-time waiters at a local Ruby Tuesday's in the Tri-County Mall
. He left Buffalo immediately after graduating high school, however his mother had wanted him to enroll in culinary school to become a chef.
After several months training under Thatcher, Bzibziak made his professional debut on July 22, 2000. He soon began teaming with Dean Jablonski, as both the Jablonski Brothers and The "A" Squad, and managed by Bobbi Jo Jablonski. They quickly rose through the tag team division to captured the HWA Tag Team Championship
from Brian Fury and Bobby Casanova in a 3-Way Dance with Cody Hawk and Anthony McMurphy on October 7, 2000. They lost the titles to Cody Hawk and Anthony McMurphy on January 26, 2001, but regained them on March 16. On June 19 in Cincinnati, they successfully defended the titles against Derek Neikirk and HWA Cruiserweight Champion
Matt Stryker. Nearly four months later, they again lost the titles when Dean Jablonski lost to Nigel McGuinness
in a singles match on July 10. The Jablonski Brothers defeated Nigel McGuinness and AAA to regain the titles for a third and final time on August 7. Two days later, they appeared at the 4th Annual Brian Pillman Memorial Show where they lost to Mike Hard and the Damaja in a non-title match. They eventually lost the titles to Evan Karagias
and Shannon Moore
on October 13, 2001. He and B.J. Whitmer
also teamed up against Sharkboy and Ice Cream Man defeating them twice in February 2002. On March 12, 2002, he and Derek Neikirk defeated Ron "H2O" Waterman and Human Time Bomb at the HWA Arena. A week later, he scored a major singles victory over HWA Rookie of the Year Crypt at the HWA Arena.
On November 9, 2002, Bzibziak won the HWA Heavyweight Championship
from Matt Stryker in Batavia, Ohio
. He defended the title for over five months before losing the belt to Big Al in Cincinnati on April 15, 2003. A few weeks later in Aurora, Indiana
, he and Cody Hawk were eliminated by Chad Collyer
in a battle royal
for the vacant HWA Heavyweight Championship. He then formed a tag team with Cody Hawk, with whom he defeated his former rival Matt Stryker and Rory Fox for the tag team titles on May 23, but lost them to Stryker and D-Lo Brown later that month. Shortly after winning the titles from T.J. Dalton and J.T. Stahr, Cody Hawk suffered an injury and Bzibziak left the promotion for IWA Puerto Rico. The titles were subsequently vacated after his departure. His last major appearance was on August 9, 2003 in Dayton, Ohio
where he lost to Nigel McGiness in a match to determine the number one contender for the heavyweight championship. The match was later released on DVD by Ring of Honor
entitled ROH: The Wrath of the Racket. He also wrestled his last tag team match with Dean Jablonski when they were defeated by American Youth in a tournament final on September 12, 2003, to crown the first tag team champions for Buckeye Pro Wrestling.
from Buffalo Bison the following year. On August 14, 2004, he lost the title to Ricky Banderas
at the Pepin Cestero Arena in Bayamón, Puerto Rico
. He and Kasey James
also held the World Tag Team Championship
after defeating Slash Venom and Chicano for the titles on October 16, 2004, but lost the belts back to them the following month.
He briefly regained the Hardcore Title in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico
on October 23, with help from Kasey James
, during a hardcore match. His opponent, Chicano, managed to pin him with a roll-up to win back the title. The stipulations for the title required it be defended at all times and, technically, allowed the title to change hands at any time via a successful pinfall.
Although Bzibziak spent much of the next two years in Puerto Rico
, he would occasionally return to the HWA. On December 29, 2004, he was part of Team Fox (JT Stahr, Quinten Lee, Gotti and 4BJ) which defeated Team Kimera (Cody Hawk, Matt Stryker, Chad Collyer and Deuce) in a War Games match at the HWA WWIII War Games supercard.

Bzibziak was one of several wrestlers to be featured on both HWA's "Best of 2003" and "Best of 2005" DVDs.
, where he was called Chet The Jet. One of his earliest appearances for the promotion was at Davis Arena in Louisville, Kentucky
on May 7, 2005, where he was pinned by Blaster Lashley. Participating in the 2005 OVW Summer Sizzler Series, he defeated Dean Fiske on July 1 and, the following night at Davis Arena, he and Nick Nemeth

He and Skyfire teamed with Deuce Shade to defeat Mike Mondo and The Blonde Bombers (Tank and Chad Toland) in a 6-man tag team match at an OVW television taping on October 5, and the following week, they defeated The Tolands for the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship
. During their first three months as champions, they successfully defended the titles against The Tolands, Aaron Stevens
and Boris Alexiev, Mike Mondo and Da Beast
, The Riggs Brothers and Osama Rodriguez and Roberto Dawber. Bzibziak also defeated Armando Alejandro Estrada and Kasey Jamez in singles matches. He and Brent Albright
also beat The Highlanders
(Robbie and Rory McCallister) via disqualification on December 10, 2005.
On January 4, 2006, he and Skyfire teamed with Elijah Burke
to defeat Paul Burchill
and The Dicks (James
and Chad Dick) in a 6-man tag team match. A week later, Bzibziak saved his tag team partner when Chris Cage interfered in a match between Skyfire and Johnny Jeter
. Skyfire later won the match and, at that same event, he defeated Chris Cage. Cage and Jeter attempted to shave Bzibziak's head following the match but, when Skyfire attempted to save Bzibziak had his head shaved instead. With Skyfire out of action for the next two weeks, Bzibziak took part in single and 6-man tag team matches. On January 21, he and the Riggs Brothers defeated J-Mann, Ogre and Mason Raige. He and Paul Burchill beat Dean Visk and K.C. Jamez the next night. On January 26, he also defeated Jack Bull. At the end of the month, he and Skyfire win a four-way match between Osama and Roadkill, The Highlanders and the Riggs Brothers. They finally lost the tag team titles to Mike Mizanin
and Chris Cage on February 8.
A month later, Bzibziak was given a new in-ring persona as a "super fan" who was seen frequently asking for wrestler's autographs. He continued teaming with Skyfire, and on occasion Rene Dupree, but failed to regain the title from Mizanin and Cage in rematches during the first week of March. He did have some success as a singles wrestler defeating Jack Bull on March 8, but lost to OVW Heavyweight Champion Brent Albright a week later. The next night, he and Skyfire lost to Deuce 'n Domino
on March 12. In one of their last matches together, he and Skyfire defeated The Riggs Brothers (Johnny and Jason Riggs) in Elizabethtown, Kentucky
on March 25 to become the number one contenders to the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship. They were helped, in part, to outside interference by Da Beast and Tytus.
Bzibziak continued wrestling as a singles wrestler, and participated in tag team matches, throughout the next year. On March 19, he lost to Brent Albright and C.M. Punk in a 3-Way Dance for the OVW Heavyweight Championship, as well as a one-on-one match with Albright on March 29. On April 8, he and C.M. Punk beat Brent Albright and Aaron Stevens when Punk pinned Albright. During the next two months, Bzibziak wrestled matches against Jack Bull, Mikey Mondo, Aaron Stevens and The Neighborhoodie.

In his final matches in the series, Bzibziak won another 10-man tag team match with Brent Albright, Sean Osbourne, and Cody Runnels against Jon Bolen
, Eddie Craven, Rod Steel and Aaron Stevens on July 29. On August 11, he also beat Boris Alexiev. During the first week of August, he teamed with Elijah Burke to defeat both Shad Gaspard and Neighborhoodie and Boris Alexiev and Mr. Strongko, and with Brent Albright to defeat OVW Southern Tag Team Champions The Untouchables in a non-title match on August 19. On August 30, Bzibziak defeated C.M. Punk to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship
. He had been a last-minute replacement for tag team partner Seth Skyfire who was attacked by Charles Evans prior to the match.
He successfully defended the title against Ken Doane
, Paul Burchill, Jacob Duncan, Johhny Jeter and Elijah Burke for nearly two months before losing the title to Duncan on October 25. Bzibziak continued feuding with Duncan over the title for the rest of the year. On November 8, he defeated Duncan via disqualification and interfered in Duncan's title defenses against Steve Lewington and Paul Burchill causing the champion to be disqualified or resulting in no-contests. On December 20, 2006, Bzibziak finally won back the title from Duncan only to lose it to Paul Burchill that same night.
On January 3, 2007, Bzibziak defeated "Platinum" Pat Buck and teamed with Lewington the following week to beat Gothic Mayhem (Johnny Punch
and Pat Buck), The Untouchables and Los Locos in a four-way tag team match. He also frequently faced Paul Burchill in hopes of regaining the OVW Heavyweight Championship, often in three-way matches involving Steve Lewington and Jacob Duncan, and lost to Burchill in a 2-of-3 falls match on February 7.
They had somewhat mixed success in the next few weeks defeating Mason Raige and Scott Cardinal on March 21, but lost to Cody Runnels and Shawn Spears the following week. They did, however, avenge their loss to Nikolas Sinn and The Belgian Brawler on March 28, and defeated Pat Buck and Johnny Punch and Los Locos in dark matches during the next two weeks. However, they lost to Mike Kruel and Vladimir Kozlov on April 21 and, four days later, to OVW Southern Tag Team Champions Charles Evans and Justin LaRoche. On May 9, Bzibziak also lost to OVW Television Champion Shawn Spears at Davis Arena in Louisville, Kentucky.

Bzibziak did lose single matches to Bradley Jay and Anthoni Polaski; the latter loss was during the opening rounds of a tournament to face The Miz

During the next three months, Bzibziak took part in the 2007 OVW Summer Sizzler Series with he and Steve Lewington lost to Victor Kozlov and Mr. Strongko on the first night of the event. Bzibziak also reunited with Seth Skyfire to take on the OVW Southern Tag Team Champions The James Boys. In the next few weeks, he wrestled MVP (June 15), OVW Heavyweight Champion Jay Bradley (June 29) and lost a "$2,500 Bodyslam Challenge" match to Antoni Polaski (July 6) in which Bzibziak had to bodyslam his opponent to win the match.
