10 of the Worst signings in Pro Wrestling history

Ultimate Warrior vs. Hulk Hogan part II? This should have been a classic, but instead fell miserably flat, like all of Warrior's WCW run.

Stasiak is a well respected performer who has held over twenty different championships during his illustrious career. He is a WWE Hall of Fame member and a former WWWF champion--the precursor to the WWE Championship.

Of course, that's Stan "The Man" Stasiak. His son, Shawn Stasiak, accomplished pretty much zilch during his career in either WCW or WWE.

Sure, he was one half of the WCW world tag team champions, but honestly it was at the lowest point of that company's history. He has a record fifteen Hardcore championship reigns, but many of those occurred on the same night; Due to the 24/7 rule Stasiak would be pinned and then regain the title in mere minutes.

Shawn Stasiak was actually a fairly accomplished amateur wrestler, but those accolades didn't translate into professional success. Neither did having a famous father help his prospects much. Overall, fans reacted to Stasiak in any of his gimmicks with a half-hearted "Meh."

Stasiak is yet another example of a wrestler with a great physique who failed to make it big in the WWE despite the brand's penchant to push talent like him.
