Biography

Stephen Paul Keirn is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for being part of the tag team The Fabulous Ones, with Stan Lane, and later for a run in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as Skinner, a gimmick that portrayed him as a tobacco spitting alligator hunter from the Everglades. During his time in WWF, he was also one of a number of wrestlers to play the role of the masked Doink The Clown. He is a graduate of Port Tampa's Robinson High School. Since the late 1980s, he has run a school to train wrestlers. Originally located in Tampa, Florida, his "Professional Wrestling School of Hard Knocks" is now located in Brandon, Florida. He helped train many wrestlers, including Mike Awesome, Dennis Knight, Joe "Destiny" Clapp, Diamond Dallas Page, Dustin Rhodes, and Tracy Smothers. The school was incorporated into the WWE's developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling where he was President of the FCW and made regular appearances on FCW television. In 2013, FCW was discontinued after the opening of the WWE Performance Center.
