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.
