Professional wrestling career

=After training in 1984 with retired wrestlers Rick and John Davidson, Doll debuted in May 1985 for Mid South Wrestling against Dick Slater in Shreveport, Louisiana. He wrestled for Pacific Northwest Wrestling (PNW) from 1987 to 1992, and formed The Southern Rockers with Scott Peterson, a team inspired by the Rock 'n' Roll Express. Doll won a total of three Pacific Northwest Heavyweight titles and eighteen Pacific Northwest Tag Team titles in teams with Peterson, Jimmy Jack Funk, Crush, The Grappler, and Rex King. King would join Doll in the Southern Rockers after Peterson left wrestling. The two would sometimes wrestle as Simply Divine.

=Steve Doll joined the World Wrestling Federation in the summer of 1993 alongside his Southern Rocker teammate Rex King, and they became known as Well Dunn (Steven Dunn and Timothy Well), managed by Harvey Wippleman. They were used primarily as an undercard tag team but feuded with many teams, including The Bushwhackers, Smoking Gunns, Men on a Mission and Allied Powers. On January 22, 1995, at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Dunn competed in the namesake match, but was eliminated by Aldo Montoya. Doll and King left the WWF in the spring of 1995.
