Dothan Eagle - Alabama Newspaper Article - 4/3/93 - Doll Performs Through Pain - Wrestler Spotlight

 In 1993, Steve Doll & Rex King changed their ways and their team name to Simply Devine.  They joined USA Wrestling in Dothan, AL, as the top heel team.  The Dothan Eagle did a story about Steve Doll on April 3, 1993.  The promotion would close within a week or two, and Steve and Rex would be back in the USWA shortly after that.  In just a few months, they would enter the WWF as Well Dunn. 

January 30th Kicks off Simply Devine Week! Southern Rockers Steve Doll & Rex King Before Well Dunn

Apparently, January 30th is the start of Simply Devine week! Who knew?

Look, I don't make the laws; I just follow them!

This will kick off a week of Simply Devine/Well Dunn.

Today, I posted a video of the complete saga of Simply Devine from USA Wrestling in Alabama in 1993. If you watch it, come back and tell me how many tag titles they've won in different countries! 🤣

Steve Doll & Rex King, formerly known as the Southern
Rockers, join the new Alabama promotion called USA Wrestling.
This is their first appearance as a heel tag team.

There were some really fun
comedic elements to their characters.
How many countries did they win tag titles in?
This gimmick led directly into their
Well Dunn work in the WWF, 1993-1995. The team makes more sense when they get a chance to develop their characters. WWF never let them do that.

This was a short-lived promotion
that was associated with Austin Idol.
Other wrestlers in the promotion include Steve Armstrong,
Wendell Cooley, Junkyard Dog, The Iron Sheik, and more. They had
some big plans for the promotion.

Included in this video are all of the preserved appearances of
Simply Devine on USA Wrestling. The channel Armstrong Alley has the
full videos, which will also be linked in the description of the video.

The March 20, 1993, episode was the last shown on television, and the
promotion closed. It is unclear if the rescheduled Battle of
Boutwell actually happened, and if it did, was it taped?

Steve & Rex make their first appearance as Simply Devine in
USWA wrestling in April 1993, beating the Moondogs
for the Southern Tag Team Titles. They join the WWF as Well Dunn in July of 1993.

Rest In Peace
Steve Doll
December 9, 1960 - March 22, 2009
Timothy Smith (Rex King)
September 8, 1961 - January 9, 2017
