They might have made him, but they definetly shortened his career.
If he had left it at the physique he had during the early 90s, then maybe he would never have risen beyond the tag division upper card, but I would hazard a guess he would have had a more "active" career that went a lot longer!

Just watching him trying to jump off the apron to attack Test showed exactly how much of a shadow of his former self that he was by the time he joined WWE.
