[edit] High Voltage (1996-1998)
Kenny Stasiowski started his training with best friend, Robbie Rage in August 1995 under WCW Power Plant. He formed a tag team with Rage known as High Voltage. They both debuted in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1996.[1] They debuted on the June 3, 1996 edition of Nitro losing to Faces of Fear (The Barbarian and Meng). Kaos made his pay-per-view debut at World War 3 1996 where he took part in the three ring, 60 man battle royal with the winner getting a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, but Kaos got eliminated.[3][4] Their team had notable feuds with popular tag teams in WCW such as Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray), Vicious and Delicious (Scott Norton and Buff Bagwell), Faces of Fear, Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott) and cruiserweight tag teams. High Voltage were low-carders and never became popular, wrestling on shows such as Saturday Night, Pro and WorldWide and remained jobbers for most of their tenure.[3] They appeared in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) between November 1997 and February 1998 with Kaos representing in the Super Grade Tag League.[1][3] Their team disbanded on September 5, 1998 when they lost to Dancing Fools (Disco Inferno and Alex Wright).[5][3]
[edit] World Tag Team Champion (1998-1999)
After splitting from Robbie Rage, Kaos worked as a singles babyface wrestler but remained in the low-card before receiving a push on October 26, 1998 edition of Nitro, after Rick Steiner defeated The Giant and Stevie Ray in a handicap match to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship himself. He chose Kenny Kaos as his tag team partner and Kaos became the other half of the World Tag Team Champions.[6][7] The title was vacated in January 1999 by Steiner and Kaos due to Steiner's injury.[7] Kaos shortly after left WCW and retired from professional wrestling. Kenny made a rare public appearance at O'Leary's Pub in Saint John, New Brunswick on March 17th, 2008 as part of a St. Patrick's Day Celebration.
