#9 Shawn Stasiak: 2001–2002

Piece of Meat

Son of former WWWF Heavyweight Champion, the late Stan Stasiak, Shawn Stasiak made his WWF debut on April 13, 1999, an episode of Sunday Night Heat under the name Meat, where he was the 'toyboy' of Terri Runnels, Jacqueline, and Ryan Shamrock. The meat was mostly a jobber, losing most of his matches, most notably putting over Kurt Angle in Kurt's WWE debut at Survivor Series 1999.

Shawn would then join WCW in 2000 where he had some success as a member of the New Blood stable and held the WCW Tag Team Championship with Chuck Palumbo. Shawn's WCW contract was picked up by WWE following the closure of WCW.

Shawn returned to TV as a member of the Alliance, where he had a gimmick of being very clumsy, which included running into walls backstage during attempted backstage assaults, and tripping over his own feet in matches, causing other superstars to take advantage and win. Shawn would then adopt a new character that saw him claim that he was from Planet Stasiak, heard voices in his head, talked to himself with rhymes, and acted comically insane.

During his return to WWE, Shawn would hold the WWE Hardcore Championship 15 times, under the 24/7 rule. He was bizarrely fired in 2002 for secretly videotaping other superstars private conversations. Today he is a chiropractor.
