The Forgotten Technician: Steve Doll's Legacy Lives On

Steve Doll was more than just another wrestler - he was a technician of the ring, a master of his craft. Born on December 9, 1964, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, Doll would go on to carve out a successful career spanning nearly two decades.

At 5'10" and 240 pounds, Doll was an imposing figure in the ring. His wrestling style was characterized by technical grappling and cunning strategy, earning him the respect of his peers and fans alike.

Doll's professional journey took him to various promotions, including World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), IWA Mid- South, and others. He worked tirelessly to hone his skills, perfecting moves like "The Chair," which became a hallmark of his in-ring persona.

Throughout his career, Doll accumulated an impressive list of accolades, including the USWA Heavyweight Championship, USWA Tag Team Championship, PNW Heavyweight Championship, NWA Texas Heavyweight Championship, and NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship.
