ampion winning the title in January of 2000 from Steve Bradley [who had won it from Kurt Angle] and losing it to Wolfie D in April, 2000. Ali at the time was consider one of the next big things and pushed hard at Power Pro. Ali was trained at the WCW Power Plant and by Harley Race. I believe he wrestled under his real name, Steve Sharp, while working jobs for WCW. He was actually under a developmental contract with WCW at the closure of the promotion in 2001. Ali spent some time out of the business, but I had recently got a letter that he was working in October in Russellville, AR for Mid-South Wrestling. That show will feature him [working as The Atomic Dog] vs Prince Al Farat with Skandor Akbar. I was told the show is still almost a month away and they have already sold 146 advance tickets, so it is going to be a big show. Also at that show will be Matt Riviera, The Nightmare [Ted Allen] and a bunch of local guys from that area.SPOILERS
----Details were sketchy, but there is what I got for the two hours…Ali is back…Brian Christopher doing tag team angle with TK2. I am told the tag belts did change hands the other night, even though it was not a title match?? Brian C was tagging with Koko that night, but I think he tags with Ali on the second show…Kevin White with Garry White/Dustin Starr feud is started and featured on both shows…Derrick vs Dotson for about a 15 minute match on TV blow off their feud…"Hurricanes" [Ax/Max] wrestled at least on one show...Lawler did interviews live on both shows, but did not wrestler…Koko Ware was there...Mr. Hughes was not there...Posse were not there, because they were doing the big shows in Alabama this weekend for SCW.
