| abstract | - Steve Stoner (also known as The Stone) was a wrestler who is most known for his time in the World Revolutionary Wrestling Federation. His first venture into contact sports came in the form of rugby where he represented his county up until senior level. He had a temperamental relationship with his coach Ted Turner who questioned his attitude and work ethic. Things came to a head when the two had a scuffle in the changing rooms, which resulted in Stoner breaking Turner's nose, he was subsequently suspended for two months. Escaping being sacked after pleading with Turner to give him another chance. Stoner then became their leading try scorer for the next two seasons. However after the death of his father Stoner was forced to quit rugby in order to take over the family butchers, which he ran for over four years. However he was not content with the path life had taken him and after seeing the first Rocky movie he began doing weight training and used the hanging meat as a punch bag. He first wanted to become a boxer but found that the rules restricted him from “going all out”. He instead turned to wrestling and began wrestling for local organisations. He got his first major break when he joined the United Wrestling Alliance. He became the world champion there defeating Reaper. When the federation folded he was immediately hired by the World Revolutionary Wrestling Federation. At the federation's first PPV March Mercy he would win the World Championship after winning an 8 man tournament. He would then controversially retain the title at the WRWF's next PPV Survival of the Fittest against Gaf. Gaf looked well on top but the lights in the arena suddenly went out and the remainder of the show had to be canceled. It was later revealed that it was WRWF President John Warren who ordered for them to be switched off. This triggered a long feud between the two. Gaf responded by forming The Hooligans, at attempt to destroy the authority figures of the WRWF from taking hold. They considered the two main authority figures as being Stoner and Warren. As a response Stoner would create the Hard Stones with relative WRWF newcomer Hardcore. The Hard Stones needed a manager and Stoner hired his old rugby coach Ted Turner. Unfortunately Harcore was the weak link in the team and he would often let them down, which meant that the team had to be disbanded. The Stone would then lose the title to David Drake after a shock result. The Stone would then take a break due to injury but in his first match back he would defeat Drake in a Falls Count Anywhere match and reclaim the title. He would hang onto the title for the next three months until losing it in an Electric Cage match against Matt White and Gaf. Gaf managed to pin The Stone and won the belt for the first time in his career. The Stone would continue to work within the WRWF until he announced his retirement from wrestling in September 2001. He would however return for the WRWF's last show where he had a rematch with Gaf and lost. It is thought he now owns a Dairy Farm.
