20 WWE Attitude Era Superstars You Forgot Existed

4. Meat

The horrible gimmicks keep on coming, don't they? Meet Shawn Stasiak, who briefly wrestled as the embarrassing 'Meat' in '99. That, from left to right, is Ryan Shamrock, Terri Runnels and Jacqueline with him. Despite being uh...friendly with Shawn, they were the ones responsible for Stasiak losing all of his matches.

Announcers claimed that 'Meat' was knackered because he'd been up all night having sex with the insatiable trio (collectively known as 'PMS'). That didn't leave nearly enough energy to win matches against the calibre of competition in the WWF, and it's why the glorified sex toy was a lowly jobber before ditching the gimmick towards the end of the year.

Wow.

You'd be forgiven for blocking this horrendous idea from your brain for 20+ years. Stasiak went on to wrestle as himself before joining WCW. Modest success there led to another WWE run and a repackage job as the out-there alien 'Planet Stasiak'.

Still better than pretending to be a sex slave though, isn't it?
