"Captain America" Shane StevensHeight: 6' 2" Weight: 239lbs Hometown: Washington, D.C. Finisher: Star Spangled Drop (Torture Rack Drop) GWF Titles Held: When he arrived in WCW in early 2000, Shane Stevens was largely ignored by both fans and management. He was charismatic enough, and his talent was good, but there was something missing. An aborted feud with Billy Kidman didn't help, and when Vince Russo took over, Stevens found himself looking for a job. In stepped Paul Heyman, with an idea that would get Stevens over. "Captain America" was born, and Stevens never looked back, procuring the ECW TV Title in the process, a title he held when ECW hit trouble and Heyman gave him permission to join the GWF, who snapped him up. Now Stevens has a chance to build himself a reputation, the question is will he take it? Stevens in-ring moves are very much based at pleasing the crowd. It's like watching an 80's face in the ring. He does use the Star Spangled Drop as a finisher, but other moves in his arsenal include the crossface chickenwing, a head and arm suplex, a reverse neckbreaker, a rolling reverse cradle and a super gutbuster. Stevens also teams infrequently with Neil Johnson as The Patriots. The team is super-popular, and they use the highly-effective Stacked Up Superplex to win matches.
