Shayne Alexander Bower (April 18, 1965 – June 24, 2007), better known by his ring name Biff Wellington, was a Canadian professional wrestler born, raised, and died in Calgary, Alberta.
Shayne Bower trained with the Hart Brothers (Bret and Owen Hart), but he mainly trained with Mr. Hito and Hiroshi Hase. He debuted in December 1986. He started his career as Biff Wellington in Stampede Wrestling as a villain, but then transitioned to a fan favorite, which he was for the remainder of his time there. In Stampede, Wellington frequently tagged with Chris Benoit. In 1989, Wellington and Benoit beat Makhan Singh and Vokhan Singh to become Stampede Wrestling's International Tag Team Champions.
After Stampede Wrestling shut down in December 1989, Wellington worked in various promotions in Canada, such as Canadian National Wrestling Alliance (CNWA) and Canadian Rocky Mountain Wrestling (CRMW).
Wellington had a couple tryouts for the World Wrestling Federation in July 1991. Wellington had a match in Calgary, Alberta at the Olympic Saddledome during a house show on July 8. Wellington defeated an unknown jobber. The next night on July 9 at Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Alberta, Wellington beat Hugh Thomas with a Tombstone Piledriver (kneeling belly-to-belly piledriver). Despite the victories, Wellington never received a contract with the WWF and returned to the Canadian Indies.
