Bully Ray Recalls Shawn Stasiak Getting Heat For Recording Private Conversations In WWE

Bully Ray recently recalled how Shawn Stasiak got in trouble with Steve Blackman, Davey Boy Smith, and Ron Simmons for recording private conversations to use for promo inspiration. The WWE Hall of Famer recounted the incident on Busted Open Radio, noting that Stasiak (perhaps best known as Meat in WWE) used to travel with Blackman and Smith and recorded their conversations and road stories for inspiration in his promos without their knowledge. The situation made the two livid when they found out, and Ron Simmons got involved. You can see highlights below, via Wrestling Inc:

On Simmons berating Stasiak for it: “Ron Simmons chewed out Stasiak like I have never seen in my life in the wrestling business. I’ve never witnessed an ass-chewing like this. Basically, Ron said, ‘What the hell were you thinking? Why would you do this? Don’t ever do this again.'”

On Blackman and Smith making Stasiak walk the rest of the trip that night: “That’s what went on in the business if you did wrong. That’s how you get educated. That’s how you learn, sometimes, in the wrestling business.”
