Steve Blackman came close to starring in WWE during the late 1980s, but became seriously ill and missed years of his wrestling career.

He did make what was his second WWE debut back in 1997, helping Vader after the Rocky Mountain Monster had been attacked by the Hart Foundation.

While it may have flown under the radar, Blackman actually boasted one of the most impressive undefeated WWE runs of the 1990s. His first loss, to Jeff Jarrett, came almost a year into his career. He enjoyed a memorable feud with Shane McMahon and was part of one of the most iconic moments of the year 2000 when he knocked the Boy Wonder off the top of the TitanTron

From there, Blackman starred in tag team wrestling, the Brawl for All tournament, and as a Hardcore specialist prior to his eventual departure from WWE in 2002.

The former martial arts fighter had six reigns as Hardcore Champion to his name but, despite his impressive physical condition and a no-frills attitude that proved popular, he never quite managed to move on to the next level.
