Steve Finley (May 27, 1967 – June 15, 2017), better known by his ring name Buddy Wayne, was an American professional wrestler. At his death in 2017, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer called Finley a great worker, but said his size, death of the wrestling territories, and heart problems kept him from being a bigger star, despite his popularity in the Pacific Northwest.[1] He is the father of current All Elite Wrestling wrestler Nick Wayne.[2]
