Biography: Steve Konig, otherwise known by his in-ring name, The Tempest, had a father who was a late, great indy wrestling legend known as THUNDER STEED...an 80s hero who died of a steroid induced heart attack during the main event of a 90s Japanese wrestling PPV. Steve initially had no intention of following in his dad's footsteps. His mother had a sort of PTSD from the death of Steve's father, and tried to steer Steve away from wrestling at all costs. Despite his natural instincts for it as well as a promising amateur college run, Konig would attempt to shed his father's legacy by becoming a police officer in metro Louisville, Kentucky.

It was not meant to be, though. The police department's inherent corruption and decay drove a pure-spirited man like Steve Konig away from it, and in a moment of vulnerability, the Kentucky native made a last minute career switch, allowing talent agent Johnny Vignochi to take Steve under his wing and train him in the craft of his celebrity father.

Now Steve Konig plans to make his debut as "The Tempest" in Razor Wrestling, out West in Las Vegas, Nevada.
