133. Steve Keirn

Although we kind of found the “Skinner” character a guilty pleasure, it was hardly a reflection of the great career of Steve Keirn.

Keirn was a star in Florida where his technical skills and rugged good looks made him popular with the fans.  With his excellent wrestling acumen Keirn excelled in tag team competition and brought out the best of his opponents and various partners alike.  Keirn was still an excellent solo competitor and was one of those wrestlers who could be said could have a good match with a broomstick.

His run in the WWF was hardly memorable as the tobacco chewing swamp man, Skinner, but when given the chance he was still putting on great matches.  As a road agent and trainer in FCW, he could yet receive his due from the WWE that he didn’t quite receive accurately when he wrestled there.

Should Steve Keirn be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 62.7%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 15.3%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 10.2%
No opinion. - 1.7%
No way! - 10.2%
