Steve Blackman (Wrestling) | comment |
Steve Blackman (born September 28, 1963) is a retired American Professional Wrestler, martial artist and MMA trainer from Annville, PA who competed for WWE first as a Jobber in 1988 and then full-time from 1997-2002. He debuted in 1986 and first worked for Stampede Wrestling in Calgary. He made a surprise return/debut on the November 3, 1997 Raw, coming out of the crowd to rescue Vader from the Hart Foundation. His first match was as the replacement for the Patriot on Team USA (Vader/Goldust/"Marvelous" Marc Mero) against Team Canada (Davey Boy Smith/Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart/Doug Furnas/Phil LaFon) at Survivor Series 1997. Over the course of his WWE run, he would hold the WWE Hardcore Title six times. He retired in 2002 after his contract ran out.Not to be confused with Scary Black Man, although he was definitely scary to boot. | |

Steve Blackman (Wrestling) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: According to the aforementioned Holly book, when Blackman found out he was in the Brawl 4 All shootfighting tournament, he asked if it was allowed to kick people's knees out. The bookers immediately made a ruleset limiting strikes to punches only, fearing Blackman would cripple up half of the roster. Holly and Ken Shamrock have gone to claim Blackman would have won the entire tournament anyways if he hadn't got injured. | |

Dual Wielding: Some of his signature weapons were a pair of combat sticks, one wielded in each hand. One of Blackman's trademark moves was hit the opponent so fast and hard with these sticks he looked like he was playing a drum solo on his opponent. | |

The Comically Serious: He loosened up when he entered the hardcore division. "It's party time!" doubled as a Catchphrase and a Pre Ass Kicking One Liner, as it would set up him beating the hell out of his opponents with weapons en route to his winning the match. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
Steve Blackman (Wrestling) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: A story in Bob Holly's book tells how a drunken John "Bradshaw" Layfield decided to repeatedly play the jerk on Blackman in an airport, only for Steve to backhand him in the face and start raining punches on him before being restrained by other wrestlers. Blackman was supposedly charging a low kick before they grabbed him, and Holly assured that had Steve's leg not got caught in a bag handle, Layfield would have had to go to the hospital. (Another popular version has Blackman actually managing to land crescent kick to the jaw, but given that we know John came out of the incident alive, we will believe Holly instead.) Another anecdote by Teddy Long sees Big Show messing with Blackman while the latter was resting laying on the floor. Apparently, all Blackman needed were his feet and a legsweep to take Show down and immobilize him. He had a beef with Vader and Buzz Sawyer since they bullied him while they all were working in Japan. At the time Blackman was still sick and a new boy in the crew and had promised his family and girlfriend not to get in fights, so he had to suck it up. However, when Vader and him met again in WWF, Blackman didn't have these limitations anymore. As soon Vader saw what was coming for him, he apologized profusely to him in front of the entire locker room. | |

I Know Karate | |
Steve Blackman (Wrestling) / int_a4ad4fe5 | comment |
I Know Karate: An interesting variation. Although his entire gimmick was about his martial arts background, exactly which styles Blackman was trained in remain a mystery. For what's said, he trained boxing and amateur wrestling at college, as well as possibly Kickboxing; judging for his in-ring style, he was at least familiar with Karate, Taekwondo or both due to his kicking stances, as well as Judo or some form of jiu-jitsu due to his submissions, and maybe Eskrima for his weapons expertise; and finally, a WWE article describes him as having a background in Muay Thai and an unspecified style of jiu-jitsu. In any case, he’s a Mixed Martial Arts trainer now. | |

No-Nonsense Nemesis: While other wrestlers had quirky gimmicks, made Badass Boasts or played mind games with their opponents, Blackman never wasted any time and went right for the kill. His strict, no-frills approach was reflected as much by the plain black pants he wore as ring attire and his simple, straightforward theme song. | |

Would Hit a Girl: Blackman didn't go any easier on women who interfered in his hardcore matches than he did on the men he was fighting. As noted above, he sprayed Trish Stratus with a fire extinguisher when she tried to distract him in his match with Albert. When Terri Runnels jumped onto his back when he was fighting Perry Saturn, Blackman nearly spanked her until Saturn interfered. | |
