Steve Blackman was added to the "Where are they now?" section of WWE.com. Part one of the story told the tale of Blackman signing with WWE in 1989, but due to horrible health issues, he nearly died.

After years of therapy, he called Brian Pillman and asked for a favor. In 1997, he finally debuted in WWE. Blackman was first noticed in Stampede Wrestling and trained with the Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith.

Twill's Two Cents: Blackman never really got over during his career, but this was a very interesting read. I suggest it. Part two is coming tomorrow.
