My personal claim to fame is representing Lee Marshall during the Raw episode when we discovered that Kane was alive. My 16 year-old string bean arms didn't do Stagger Lee justice.
He was the ring announcer at the LA portion of WrestleMania 2, as well.
As silly as they were, you had to appreciate his enthusiasm whenever he called in on the "Nitro Road Report". "Tony, I'm hanging here at a Nitro Party on Bourbon Street and all the people I've talked to are excited to see The Giant face Hollywood Hogan, next week on Nitro!"

And you notice you never actually saw him on-screen in any of the places he was at.
Eric used Turner's money to get a friend an easy job, and then got 1-800-COLLECT or something to pay for the spot. Probably all done from his easy chair in LA. Still, "Stagger" was a Nitro mainstay.

I believe the story is he was just backstage at Nitro. There was probably some other stuff for him to do - repackaging Nitro for international markets? - but flying to a town just to do a 15 second plug must've been a really great gig at times, and a really boring one at other times.
Let us not forgot his work on the first, last and only WOW PPV.

As long as they don't have the pointless four-team tag-title matches, and Benoit retains the World Heavyweight Title, having WrestleMania XX-2 is cool with me.
