About Mike Shaw

Lived 1957 – 2010 (aged 53). Mike Shaw was an American professional wrestler.

Global Wrestling Federation In 1991, Shaw wrestled in the Global Wrestling Federation under his "Makhan Singh" gimmick, where he joined The Cartel with Cactus Jack, Rip Rogers, and Scott Anthony.

Mexico (1991–1992) Shaw wrestled in Mexico in the early 90s as Aaron Grundy, the supposed brother of Solomon Grundy,

In June 1993, Shaw was, allegedly as punishment for his weight, given the ring name Bastion Booger, with the gimmick of an unkempt, slovenly and gluttonous man who wrestled in dingy, too-small, gray/beige singlets tailored to give him the appearance of a hunchback. Shaw's debut as Bastion Booger saw him lose to Virgil on the June 19, 1993, edition of Superstars, though he won a rematch the following week.

Booger achieved only marginal success, primarily serving as a jobber to the stars. Booger's biggest victory in the WWF was a clean pinfall over Owen Hart. Booger's only WWF pay-per-view appearance was at the 1993 Survivor Series, teaming with Bam Bam Bigelow and The Headshrinkers in a loss to Men on a Mission and The Bushwhackers. He feuded with Bam Bam Bigelow after "falling in love" with Bigelow's valet, Luna Vachon. While teaming with Bigelow on the January 3, 1994, episode of Monday Night Raw, Booger kissed Vachon, causing Bigelow to get angry.

Booger and Bigelow faced each other the following week, and Bigelow won the match after Vachon distracted Booger by blowing him kisses. Booger was scheduled to appear in the 1994 Royal Rumble match, but was unable to compete, and the on-screen explanation given was that he contracted food poisoning. He lost his final match on WWF TV to Koko B. Ware in April 1994 and he left the WWF in August 1994.

Independent circuit (1994–1999) After leaving WWF, Shaw kept the Bastion Booger gimmick. He wrestled in the independent circuit in Michigan and Canada for Border City Wrestling. He feuded with Typhoon in 1995 in indy American promotions losing all the matches to Typhoon. On December 15, 1995, he returned to Calgary as Makhan Singh defeating the Gothic Warrior at the Stu Hart 50th Anniversary Show.

On May 4, 1997, he lost to Doink the Clown at Outaia Pro Wrestling in Arnprior, Ontario. Later that summer, he worked for Renegade Wrestling Alliance based in Hamilton, also worked in Burlington and Oakville, Ontario. Shaw retired from wrestling in 1999.

Return to independent circuit (2006) Shaw worked for various independent promotions in 2006 during his final years while operating a wrestling school in his hometown of Skandia, Michigan.

Return to WWE (2007) On December 10, 2007, during the WWE Raw 15th anniversary special, he returned as Bastion Booger in the opening segment, in which Triple H jokingly suggested that Big Dick Johnson, another character whose unsightly physical appearance had been used by WWE for comic effect, was Booger's son. Jakks Pacific added Bastion Booger to the Classic Superstars line, series 25 in 2009.

Personal life and death Shaw was married and had two children.

Shaw died of a pulmonary embolism on September 11, 2010. He was 53 years old. He is survived by his wife Kelly and their two children, son Joshua and daughter Amanda.
