Once Again, Another Dead Wrestler

This time it was Mike Shaw, otherwise known by WWF fans as Bastion Booger. He died of heart failure at 53. Sadly, this wasn't suprising considering his size but still too young to die. His character in WWF was disgusting but I remember it making me laugh especially when he would be eating a buffet while watching matches. R.I.P

I remember Bastion Booger. RIP.

R.I.P.

I remember him better as Norman The Lunatic in WCW. Fun gimmick there both as a heel and a face (when people would bring him teddy bears).

RIP.

I remember him a little from those days when I would watch WCW on Saturdays in the early 90s but it was his WWF reign I remember most.

Wow why did I think he died a few years ago.

That was his name on WCW, I was trying to remember that all evening.

he also worked here in Dallas for wccw

I saw him wrestle back in 1990 as Norman when he took on Rip Rogers. RIP.

I liked when he first came in to WCW as Norman The Lunatic. I thought it had potential. I remember he used to get a lot of magazine coverage when he was in Calgary. So it was a big deal to me to finally see him wrestle. In fact one of my favorite live wrestling experiences was when he took on Kevin Sullivan at the Baltimore Arena. Sullivan threw his teddy bear into the crowd so that he would get counted out chasing the thing into the crowd. The fans ran and got it for him and were pushing him to get back into the ring before the count. Of course since he had to get counted out he did an amazing job stalling with the fans by playing stupid. It was fun stuff.

The Bastion Booger thing was about the time I decided maybe wrestling had left me.

It's sad watching old tapes and counting up the number of guys who've died way before their time.

RIP

Add another to the list, this time the tallest wrestler of all time The Giant Gonzalez. Remebered for his embarrassing stint with the body suit and the Undertaker, I remember him better from his feud in WCW with Sid Vicious about who the real giant was.

R.I.P., 44 is too young of an age to die at.

Wow he was only 44? Thought he would have been older than that. That sucks
