Steve Blackman

Blackman is exactly the kind of craftsman I root for. A karateka from Pennsylvania, he won crowds not with theatrics but with credible strikes and the chaos of hardcore matches, standing 188 cm of grim efficiency. Six WWF Hardcore Championship reigns and the record for most combined days as champion mark a man who excelled in the rough mid-card trenches rather than the marquee spotlight. That he became a martial arts instructor afterward only deepens the impression of unglamorous discipline. I have a soft spot for performers who never coast, and Blackman, the quiet professional, is precisely that.
