At six feet tall and weighing in at well over three hundred pounds, Mike Shaw seemed destined for a career in pro wrestling.

In Stu Hart's Stampede promotion in Canada, he wrestled under his real name. After Stampede folded, Shawn joined Ted Turner's new WCW promotion.

Shaw wrestled first as Norman the Lunatic, a gimmick which caused some controversy due to being a poor depiction of mental health. Since Shaw was a big man who could spring from the top rope, WCW kept him under contract and renamed him Trucker Norm.

Shaw left WCW for WWE, and wrestled one match as Friar Ferguson--a pretty bizarre gimmick in its own right. However, the Catholic Church complained to WWE, and the gimmick was dropped immediately. Then Shaw became the gluttonous and gross Bastion Booger.

Booger didn't accomplish much in the WWE, but he was a highly visible low card talent during his tenure. He even did 'commentary' with Vince McMahon on an episode of Raw, where Booger mostly just ate.
