10 Worst Actors In WWE History
8. Steve Blackman
‘The Lethal Weapon’ was a popular mid-card wrestler with a great look and was a legitimate tough guy (I mean heck, he’s a real life bounty hunter) but he never ascended any higher than the WWF Hardcore Championship.
Blackman couldn’t talk and in any other era he would’ve been given a manager to help him with that, but in the late 90s the WWE had moved away from personal mouth-pieces and everyone had to speak for themselves. It worked great for stars like the most electrifying man in the biz The Rock of course, but Steve Blackman’s own brand of electricity stopped as soon as he opened his mouth.
Promos can be found of him intently staring at and yelling in the face of Terry Taylor instead of looking down the camera to address his opponent, emphasising the wrong words and stumbling over others.
For a time, Blackman’s lack of personality was so noticeable that it became his gimmick and he was paired with the fun-loving Al Snow to form Head Cheese. Whilst there’s humour to be had here, it’s still very clear that Blackman is struggling. Everything he says sounds like he’s reading it off a cue card out of shot.
I wouldn't say any of this to his face though because... you know. He's terrifying.
