Steve Cox is a retired American professional wrestler who competed in Mid-South regional promotions during the 1980s and early 1990s including the Universal Wrestling Federation, World Class Championship Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance.

Born in Portsmouth, Virginia, Cox played college football at the University of Tulsa and was team captain before becoming a professional wrestler.

During 1987, Cox appeared on several Mid-South supercards defeating Super Ninja at Superblast at the Superdome on April 11 and Gary Young at the Superdome Extravaganza on June 13 before losing to Terry Taylor at Superdome Extravaganza on August 1.

After short stints in All Star Wrestling and Central States Wrestling, he was introduced by Michael P.S. Hayes as his protégé and new tag team partner soon becoming involved in a feud with the Samoan Swat Team and defeating them for the World Class Tag Team titles on September 16 before losing it back to them three days later.

Regaining the titles at the supercard Cotton Bowl Extravaganza on October 15, they would only hold the titles for two days before losing them back to the Samoan Swat Team on October 17. After losing to the Samoan Swat Team in a rematch at SuperClash III on December 13, the team broke up shortly thereafter with both men leaving the promotion.

Resurfacing in the Global Wrestling Federation during the early 1990s, Cox began teaming with Stan Lane and defeated Kendo Nagasaki and Ninja in the opening rounds of the 2-day GWF World Tag Team Title Tournament before losing to Steve Simpson and Chris Walker in the semi-finals in July 1991.
