Kenneth M. "Kenny" Stasiowski (born June 18, 1970) is an American former professional wrestler. He is best known for his stint with World Championship Wrestling, where he performed under the ring name Kenny Kaos and wrestled as a part of the tag team High Voltage with partner Robbie Rage. During his stint in WCW, Stasiowski became a one time World Tag Team Champion with Rick Steiner.
After making his professional wrestling debut in 1995, Stasiowski was signed to a contract by World Championship Wrestling in 1996. He made his WCW debut on the March 2, 1996 episode of Saturday Night under the ring name Kenny Shaw, where he and The Shadow lost to Loch Ness in a handicap match. Following this, Stasiowski started training in the Power Plant, WCW's training facility, where he formed a tag team alongside Robert Knapik. Now renamed to Kenny Kaos and Robbie Rage respectively, the team was named High Voltage and made their debut at the April 27 house show in a losing effort to The State Patrol (Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker and Lt. James Earl Wright). High Voltage then made their televised debut on the June 3 episode of Nitro in a losing effort to The Faces of Fear (The Barbarian and Meng). Kaos made his Pay-per-view debut at World War 3, where he took part in the three ring, 60 man battle royal with the winner earning a title match for the World Heavyweight Championship, but was unsuccessful. Their team had competed against several popular tag teams in WCW, such as Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray), Vicious and Delicious (Scott Norton and Buff Bagwell), the Faces of Fear, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott) and makeshift cruiserweight teams. Despite this, High Voltage remained under-carders and competed on WCW's secondary shows Saturday Night, Pro and WorldWide and remained jobbers for most of their tenure. They appeared in New Japan Pro Wrestling between November 1997 and February 1998 with Kaos representing in the Super Grade Tag League. High Voltage wrestled their final match on the September 5 house show, where they defeated the Dancing Fools (Disco Inferno and Alex Wright). High Voltage subsequently split due to Rage suffering an injury.
