10 Wrestlers Who VANISHED When WWF Became WWE
8. Steve Blackman
The hardest man to ever wear a piece of cheese on his head...
Steve Blackman is nails. Like, absolutely rock hard. So much so, your writer here is a little cautious about even referencing those rare times that Al Snow convinced the Lethal Weapon to wear a hat shaped like a bit of cheese.
Before his time in the then-WWF, Blackman was legit tough. During his time in the company, Blackman was legit tough. After his time there, Blackman was and still is legit tough. Even more terrifying for those who may find themselves in a spot of bother in Pennsylvania, this badass martial artist these days works as a bail bondsman in his local area.
Pro wrestling-wise, though, this six-time Hardcore Champion is another who's largely vanished without a trace since the days that WWF became WWE.
Prior to that release, Blackman actually finished up his WWE tenure by working in the Heartland Wrestling Association developmental territory. After his tag partner Grandmaster Sexay was released in mid-2001, followed by an injury to Steve, he opted to see out his days in the HWA before allowing his WWE contract to naturally expire in October 2002.
Blackman made a one-off WWE appearance in a battle royal for Raw's 15th anniversary, but other than that he's had just one solitary indy match since his 2002 departure.
