For those who’ve felt that grunge was underrepresented in the world of wrestling, we present to you Steven Flowe! That’s right, Steven Flowe, whose name sounds very similar to a popular Pearl Jam song, was all the buzz after making an appearance at Chicago’s The SuperWrestlers event over the weekend and his entrance theme is something you’ve just got to see.
About Steven Flowe
Yes, fans flocked to The SuperWrestlers: Unleashed show at Chicago’s Concord Music Hall on Sunday to see Shogun vs. Syphon and Canadad vs. “The World’s Slowest Chef” Chef Delay Mignon, but it was Steven Flowe that seemingly won over the imagination of wrestling and music fans.
As seen in video shared by Cheapheat Spotfest on the X social media platform below, Steven Flowe made his debut coming out to a parodied version of Pearl Jam’s “Even Flow” where his name “Steven Flowe” was just repeated multiple times over the musical backdrop.
He arrived sporting shorts, two flannel shirts (one tied around his waist) and lifting a guitar to the sky. His long flowing hair also seemed to time warp from the early ’90s and even some of his mannerisms seemed inspired by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder.

How did he fare? At one point after tossing competitor Jordan Kross to the ground, Flowe doffed his flannel shirt to expose a light brown T-shirt, toss his flannel into the crowd and make a triumphant Vedder-like pose. He then threw himself against the ropes, did a quick duck walk and landed one more elbow blow to the chest while his opponent laid immobile on the mat.
