Steve Doll, who worked for the WWF as Steven Dunn of the undercard tag team, Well Dunn, passed away on Sunday. I don't have much in the way of details of his passing except that he had been on life support and his family made the decision to let him pass. He had been ill since for some time dating back to 2006. He was 44 years old.
A native of Hendersonville, TN Doll originally broke into the business in the mid-1980s and worked for a number of territories, including Don Owen's Pacific Northwest, Puerto Rico's WWC, and the USWA in Memphis. Small when compared to the larger physiques of the era, he was mostly a tag team performer, originally as one half of the Southern Rockers with Scott Peterson (the pair held the PNW Tag Team belts on numerous occasions) and then later with Rex King and Reno Riggins.
Alongside King, who was re-christened Timothy Well, the two worked full-time for WWF as an undercard team managed at times by Harvey Wippleman. They were never given a sizeable push and were used in competitive bouts to get over the bigger stars or used in comedy roles, including a short TV feud with the Bushwhackers.
After leaving the WWF, Doll returned to the USWA and worked for that promotion during its dying days. He did some shots for WCW in the mid-1990s, including becoming part of a trivia answer in that he and Mike Enos were wrestling when Scott Hall showed up to kick off the NWO storyline.
Doll returned to his native TN as well, working Nashville independent Music City Wrestling as part of a team with Riggins and at one point, also operated a wrestling school with him.
We'd like to pass our condolences on to Doll's family and friends at this time. Thanks to our friends at www.indywrestlingnews.com for their help.
