Then: Steve Blackman's total lack of personality and promo skills would force a glass ceiling to form above his head. He was a dispensable member of the Royal Rumble line up in 2000 and lasted a mere 44 seconds before being punted by Rikishi.

Now: Real-life hard man Blackman quit wrestling in 2002 and opened a self-defence school. From there, he'd develop Steve Blackman's Fighting Systems, teach MMA classes and even run some small MMA shows. Beyond that, he's worked as a bail bondsman in his native Pennsylvania.
