Biography

Stephen Nathaneil Ketcher is a former American Professional wrestler known best by the ring name Steve Gatorwolf. Ketcher grew up in Florida, where he dropped out of high school in 1976 and later became a professional wrestler. He wrestled in WWE from 1984 through 1990, mostly as a preliminary talent. His planned push ended abruptly after his first televised match, where he forgot to perform a "war dance" after his match. He was relegated to "jobber" status, though he appeared in the music video for the song "Land of 1,000 Dances" from The Wrestling Album. Following his WWE tenure, he began promoting wrestling evens in the southwestern United States, mostly on American Indian tribal lands. He later branched out into unsanctioned "Toughman" and mixed martial arts events, and was arrested in Utah in 2008 for illegal fight club promoting. He had previously served two years in a Utah prison for aggravated assault convictions in 2001.
