I never really got into Stampede Wrestling back in the day. I'd watch the last few minutes before Maple Leaf Wrestling, but never really paid attention, except for the "In the meantime, and in between time" line.
Having said that, sadly, my only memory of Mike Shaw in professional wrestling is as Bastion Booger, on of the worst characters WW(F)E ever came up with. His tights were always stained, he was always eating on his way to the ring.
I remember watching one of the TV tapings, and they were hyping one of those ice cream bars they used to sell. It was like an ice cream sandwich on a stick, with an imprint of your favourite superstar on it.
This one they highlighted had Randy "Macho Man" Savage on it. Gorilla Monsoon was talking about it, as it was held out by a fan so that the camera would catch it in all it's glory.
Then, out of nowhere, it's snatched out of the persons hands. Who has it? Bastion Booger, who proceeds to eat it on his way down to the ring.
I've heard many takes on his Stampede Wrestling days, which I regret not following closer.
