I don't think he will be in the show, as he won't be able to cope with the schedule required, nor is there a role for him?
However, I think he will almost definately be involved in promo, if the producers have their way.
Jim may not like it, but if Meat is willing, I think the producers will want to use him as much as possible. Partly 'cos he's good at promo, and partly 'cos Jim shies away from promo.
I can even see Meat turning up occasionally (maybe even opening night)to sing Bat Out of Hell at the curtain call?
