Career

Global Wrestling Federation

Lane Huffman started wrestling in 1992 as Super Collider in the independent circuit in Texas. He soon was teaming with his brother, Booker T as Stevie Ray, The Ebony Experience. They worked for the Global Wrestling Federation, which was on ESPN. They were faces and feuded with the "Blackbirds" of Iceman Parsons and Brickhouse Brown. They won the Tag Team Titles twice. Huffman then went on to win the GWF North American Title in 1993.

Early WCW

In August 1993, they went to WCW and changed their team name to Harlem Heat and he became Kane while Booker became Kole. They were then billed from Harlem. They became heels and were on Harley Race and Col. Rob Parker's team in the War Games at Fall Brawl on September 19, 1993, against Sting, Davey Boy Smith, Dustin Rhodes and The Shockmaster. They lost the match but were over as heels because of the caliber of faces they wrestled.

In 1994, they got Sister Sherri as their manager and changed their names back to Booker T and Stevie Ray. They feuded with "Stars N Stripes" (The Patriot and Marcus Bagwell) and won the WCW Tag Team Titles for the first time.

From there, they feuded with The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags & Brian Knobbs) and got into a crazy feud with Col. Parker's "Stud Stable" of Dick Slater and Bunkhouse Buck where Parker and Sherri were carrying on a love affair. Parker eventually left the Stud Stable in favor of the Heat...er Sherri.

They had brief feuds with Lex Luger & Sting and The Road Warriors before starting a long feud with Rick and Scott Steiner in 1996. In October, they lost their titles to "The Outsiders", Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, and they fired Col. Parker and beat him up and became full-fledged faces.

In 1997 they feuded with "Public Enemy" (Johnny Grunge & Rocco Rock), The Steiners and the nWo. In fall 1997, they fired Sherri and added a new manager, Jacqueline. They were briefly put out of action by the nWo and returned to feud with the "Faces of Fear" (Meng & The Barbarian). Stevie then took five months off from WCW.

Harlem Heat reborn

In early 1999, the nWo started bickering over who the leader of the Hollywood faction was. Stevie won the leadership role in a battle royal on WCW Thunder. He started to help Booker T during his matches and when he was getting ganged up on and rejoined him as Harlem Heat in July. They feuded with Barry and Kendall Windham and The Jersey Triad of Diamond Dallas Page, Chris Kanyon and Bam Bam Bigelow. They won the Tag Titles three more times to give them 10 in their career.
