Shane Veryzer[1] (born 24 September 1985) is an Australian professional wrestler. He is currently signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he performs under the ring name Shane Haste, where he is a member of The Mighty Don't Kneel (TMDK) and is one-half of the current IWGP Tag Team Champions and Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions with his tag team partner Mikey Nicholls. He is best known for his tenure in WWE, where he performed under the ring names Shane Thorne and Slapjack.

He is also known for his work in Pro Wrestling Noah, where, as part of The Mighty Don't Kneel with partner Mikey Nicholls, he is a former two-time GHC Tag Team Champion. He also competed for Ring of Honor (ROH) and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) in the United States. He signed with WWE in 2016 and was assigned to the NXT brand, where he was given the Shane Thorne ring name. In early 2020, Thorne debuted on Raw, and in August of that year was repackaged as Slapjack, a mask wearing member of Retribution. Following the stable's split, he reverted to his previous ring name and was moved to SmackDown. Despite this, he was only limited to dark matches and was released from the promotion in November 2021. He then began working for NJPW's American subsidiary, where TMDK were reformed as a stable, with Jonah as the leader.
