WWE
Steve Lombardi began his WWE career in 1983 and performed under his real name. The first years he worked as a jobber . In 1989 he was assigned Bobby "The Brain" Heenan as manager and was henceforth called The Brooklyn Brawler . During this time he feuded with The Red Rooster , as his manager wanted to take revenge on this within the storyline .
In 1990 Lombardi was downgraded to a high-class jobber again and occasionally appeared under masks or with face paint. So he appeared as one of the many Doinks, as Kim Chee (the tamer of Kamala ), as one of the three masked knights in the Survivor Series '93 and as MVP / Abe Schwarz (baseball player gimmick ). In 1996 he won a Battle Royal at Madison Square Garden and later that evening he had a WWF title fight against Shawn Michaels .
Lombardi has also been working as a road agent and representative for WWE since the late 1990s .
On May 9, 2003, he had to undergo neck surgery. On July 24, 2003, however, he took part in a storyline about the APA. In the following years he appeared sporadically on various WWE programs, even under masks, or officially undetected.
