Dude was actually nice and one of the best high flyers of the mid 90s. He won the IC belt and seemed to be on his way to greater things.. But then he comes back a year later, he gains weight, he's not as mobile as he was in the ring, They gave him a VHS 90s theme and just fell off. He gained some good heat off the Sable angle but that Sable bomb killed his whole career. WTF happened?

injury, followed by an immediate injury because he over did it with PT

plus him letting sable powerbomb him, none of the top guys wanted to work with him after that [according to Bruce, he specifically named Stone Cold]

Probably didn't help when he adapted that boxing TKO gimmick when the UFC started to have buzz and guys like Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn started to come over in the WWF taking spots that could have been Mero's.
Remember when they had them níggas really throwin hands

Anybody who lets a blonde bimbo with fake t*ts to powerslam him has his career automatically finished.

This is one of many dumb booking decisions WWF has done.

It doesn't help that Perfect turned on him a month later to align with HHH. Also, it's never a good sign when your perverted ass boss is more interested with your wife's career over yours.
