Career

edit

Early life and career

edit

Stephen Favata was born in Tampa, Florida and graduated in 2001 from George D. Chamberlain High School, lettering four years in baseball and leading as Senior Class President.[2] Madison was offered several baseball scholarships to small colleges, but turned them down to start wrestling. Steve decided to attend the University of South Florida while starting his professional wrestling training.

His wrestling training started in the summer of 2001 with current WWE Talent Agent Steve Keirn and Jimmy Del Ray of the tag team, The Heavenly Bodies. Steve adopted the "Madison" last name over a lunch meeting with former NWA President Howard Brody, after deciding that the last name "Favata" would not suit him well in the wrestling business.

On December 28, 2001, Madison wrestled future tag team partner Lex Lovett at a house show for Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling, a Georgia-based promotion owned by Dusty Rhodes, and was pinned by Lovett after a modified DDT.[3]

In November 2002, Madison and David Babylon were the co-winners of an interpromotional NWA Florida vs. Future of Wrestling battle royal in which the winners would receive a title shot against the NWA Florida Unified Cruiserweight Champion Naphtali. Madison had been accompanied by Lex Lovett and Jimmy Del Rey while Babylon had FOW promoter Bobby Rogers and Vanessa Harding in his corner.[4] The following month, he defeated the NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship against Agent Steele at NWA Florida's Total Annihilation.

On January 22, 2003, Madison and Agent Steele appeared in a dark match for NWA: Total Nonstop Action show against The Strong Brothers (Sedrick and Roderick Strong).[5]

Touring Japan and Europe (2003-2004)

edit

In mid-February 2003, Madison received a phone call from Steve Kiern who offered him a spot on an upcoming tour of Japan with Riki Choshu's Fighting World of Japan Pro Wrestling promotion. Looking for younger American wrestlers unfamiliar to Japanese fans, Choshu had become interested in several students from Keirn's wrestling school. Tiger Hattori, the American booker for Fighting World of Japan, had visited the school scouting for wrestlers to tour the country. Madison, Big Vito and the Shane Twins would be signed for the first tour and were joined by Lex Lovett on the second tour.[6]

Madison made his first trip to Japan at the age of 19 for new upstart Japanese promotion, World Japan.[7] After his first match against Kenzo Suzuki, he was complimented by Riki Choshu. Madison headlined the Nagareyama Citizen Gymnasium on March 20, 2003, battling Kensuke Sasaki in the main event, making him one of the youngest gaijin of all time to headline a singles match in Japan. The match was watched by The Road Warriors who came out to ringside. On his second tour, he teamed with Big Van Vader to wrestle Takao Omori and Koichiro Kimura during the prologue of the Magna02 Series.[6]

Briefly returning to Florida, he was preparing for his third tour of Japan. Shortly after wrestling Mike Graham and David Babylon, he was hospitalized for appendicitis and had emergency surgery. According to doctors, his appendix was about 24 hours from rupturing. He had already been scheduled to appear for the Magna03 Series but called Hattori to cancel the tour. However, he was back in the gym within three weeks and was eventually cleared to wrestle in Japan the day of the first tour.[6] He later went on to team with Riki Chosyu against Yoji Anjo & Koichiro Kimura at the Tsubame Civic Gym in Niigata Prefecture on October 22 and, teaming with Lex Meyer, against Takao Omori & Shiro Koshinaka at the Thajo City Gym in Miyagi.[8] Three days later, he returned to NWA Florida to wrestle Scoot Andrews at the Leaman School in St. Petersburg.[9]

After several tours with World Japan, Madison teamed with Mike Shane, subbing for Mike's brother, Todd Shane, for several dates with the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico. Soon after that, Madison ventured to Europe, along with Dennis Knight and Jeff Bradley, to wrestle for EWA Wrestling in Austria.[10] On May 14, 2004, Madison faced and lost to Ahmed Chear in a match to crown the first EWA Middleweight Champion in Wolfsburg, Austria.[11] Madison was then booked by Tiger Hattori to participate for New Japan Pro-Wrestling in the summer of 2004. An ankle injury suffered two weeks before the tour postponed Madison's debut in New Japan.

NWA Florida & Full Impact Pro (2004-2005)

Alternately, he worked in the tag team division during his last weeks in NWA Florida. He and Lex Lovett lost to 911 Incorporated (Rod & Bruce Steele) on May 6 and, with Erick Stevens, against The Strong Brothers (Roderick & Sedrick Strong) at the 2005 Peterson Cup tournament on June 10.[13][14][15] He wrestled his last match for NWA Florida defeating Buck Quartermain via disqualification on June 17.
