Jonnie Stewart
Jonnie Stewart is a retired American professional wrestler. He is best known for competing in the American Wrestling Association on ESPN, World Wrestling Association (WWA) and AWA Superstars of Wrestling / Wrestling Superstars Live. Despite his almost 30 year wrestling career, Stewart is probably best known for being mistaken for the Comedy Central Jon Stewart in 2006 when, he was accidentally hired to appear and host a gala charity event at a charter high school in Ogden, Utah.〔 He played college football for University of Memphis and North Park University and he is believed to be the only person ever to play an NCAA football game and perform in a wrestling match all in the same day. In 1990, it was rumored that, the NCAA was considering investigating Stewart, WCW, promoter Gary Juster and North Park University for violating Stewart's amateur status when Juster hired Stewart to wrestle Brad Armstrong for a WCW show at the UIC Pavilion during the regular football season. Fueling the controversy, Chicago promoter Alan Eppenstein claimed that the threshold investigation was dropped when the NCAA determined that: Stewart was never individually promoted on any media and that professional wrestling was not considered an actual sport and Stewart had more or less performed as an actor that night rather than a professional athlete. For the record, this rumor has never been confirmed or denied by any of the parties involved.〔"The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth" September 1992 In This Corner newsletter Edition #12〕
==Professional wrestling career==
In the Winter of 1986, while playing for the University of Memphis football team, Stewart quit during the Spring practice session to begin training under Memphis legend, Buddy Wayne. After three months of training, Stewart made his professional wrestling debut on April 23, 1986 at the Tad Smith Coliseum in Oxford, MS, for Jerry Jarrett and his Mid-South Wrestling in Memphis, TN. He was part of a tag-team named the Beach Boys. In the Winter of 1987 Stewart moved on to the Indianapolis area's WWA. After a Summer working for Dick the Bruiser Stewart helped former AWA worker Sam DeCero start Windy City Pro Wrestling. In 1989, he was offered a multi-year six-figure contract with WCW but the deal was rescinded by Ric Flair and in 1989 he was then signed to a two-year contract with the American Wrestling Association on ESPN. Stewart quickly rose to main event status and worked with Kokina Maximus, Sgt. Slaughter and Paul Diamond and quickly became one of the Verne Gagne's top heels.〔 His final match for Gagne was on August 11, 1990 for the AWA World Light Heavyweight Championship against Buck Zumhofe. Gagne awarded Zumhofe the championship when he learned that Stewart had enrolled to played football for the 1990 season for North Park University.
