Steven Williams (May 14, 1960 – December 29, 2009), better known by his ring name "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, was an American professional wrestler and former collegiate football and wrestling star at the University of Oklahoma. (wikipedia)
Steve Williams was one of those rare American professional wrestlers who made a bigger impact in Japan than in the United States. My first experience seeing him was as a monster in ECW where he went on quite a tear. I remember him shrugging off one of Stevie Richards' superkicks and utterly dominating Axl Rotten. A bit later, I started playing Firepro games and he quickly became one of my favorite wrestlers in the games, primarily due to his stunning offense. Finally, there was an odd, text-based wrestling simulator called (I think) TNM that I used to play. In it, my e-fed character used the Doctor Bomb to great effect, somehow defeating Sabu in something like six seconds and putting him on the shelf with a back injury.
At any rate, my introduction to Dr. Death was an odd, yet overwhelmingly positive one. There's not much more to say, onto the videos.
