WRESTLER OF THE DAY: STEVE KEIRN


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

This reminds me of a story Juggernaut was telling a group of fans after an ECCW show several years back. He met Keirn when they were both working an NWA show (back when Keirn and B. Brian Blair were NWA tag champs_ and Keirn bragged about how he hadn't taken a bump in over a year.

Is there any story behind just how in the fuck Steve Keirn ended up in WWF as Skinner? It took me forever to realize it actually was Keirn. Even in hindsight it seems weird.

My guess would be they wanted a reliable, veteran hand to fill a mid-card spot so they signed Keirn and gave him a gimmick they could trademark. No different than Wild Bill Irwin becoming The Goon or Tony Anthony becoming T.L. Hopper (though Skinner had way more success than either of those two)
