Bastion Booger: Not Mike Shaw's finest hour

Poor Mike Shaw. That man, perhaps more than any other had to withstand a flurry of bad gimmicks with ridiculous monikers.

Prior to Bastion Booger, Shaw portrayed Norman the Lunatic and Friar Ferguson to little fanfare. But it was his rechristening as the slovenly Bastion Booger, whose name is the Americanised word for snot was a repulsive character that ate huge amounts of food before, after and sometimes during his matches.

Booger debuted on the June 19, 1993, episode in a losing effort to Virgil. That's right! The debutant lost to a jobber in his first televised appearance.

It didn't bode well. The character lasted less than a year before it was scrapped and forgotten about. The irony is, that Booger, despite his size, could work and had success in the 1980s in the Stampede Wrestling promotion, run by Stu Hart.

Under the Booger gimmick though, he never had a chance.
