He did get his one proper entrance with correct theme music. Mr. Perfect WCW knockoff.
Then he just becomes a klutz who forgets what "mecca" means on his pants. Why was this guy buried so bad?
He was a former WWF star.
He was the SON of a former WWF champion.
He had the look.
He had a previous gimmick to fall back on.
And he just became a Stone Cold Jabroni.
Who hated him backstage?

Wasn’t he fired and went to WCW before it folded. I think he was let go for recording conversations in the locker room without people’s consent.
That being said, not sure why WWF chose his contract as 1 that they wanted

Same reason they made Steve Austin The Ringmaster. Sometimes they just don't realize what they have.
Am I putting Shawn Stasiak on the same level as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin? Yes. Yes, I am.

Shawn Stasiak went from a sex slave wearing briefs as his ring gear to an inferior version of Kris Statlander.

I don't know for sure since I wasn't there obviously but my theory is Stasiak was a bit of a goofy/weird guy in real life and it was a rib on him. I mean hell after the invasion they made it his whole gimmick and called him Planet Stasiak.

I mean he's done pretty well for himself despite the maltreatment. He went on to become fairly successful in the medical field and is a chiropractor.

Must be nice to have a gimmick where you lose your matches because you're so exhausted from f***ing.
And I remember watching Shotgun or Heat or whatever it was where he first showed up as Meat. I told my buddy, "I bet you a thousand dollars his finisher is called The Meat Grinder." Haha.

Return Promo:
He's meant for the NWA with that type of promo. Let him dethrone Nick Aldis for the gold.

Val Venis should've called him "Cocktail Weenie."

I did enjoy his whole "try to ambush The Rock and end up humiliating himself" thing.

Better question: Why did they buy his contract?

He had the tools but nothing that really stood out, so it was probably just what they came up with for him because "this is good shit!"

Right...
“Hey, we got the cream of the crop from the three top companies in the most prosperous period in wrestling history, plus some stellar developmental standouts... Let’s strap the rocket to f***ing Meat.”
Dude was OK, but really had nothing to warrant being pushed ahead of anyone they already were pushing.

He was originally fired from WWF for secretly recording private conversations in the locker room. Then his contract was bought out, but he spilled the beans in an interview about the planned WCW run-in during the McMahon street fight at Wrestlemania, which caused creative to scrap the role thing. I can certainly see how that would not ingratiate him amongst the decision makers in the company.

No wonder they got more harsh when Hebner sold merchandise outside, they played themselves hard with that. |

Why do I find the thought of him recording conversations so funny?
