	Steven Caldera got his start in the ACWF in 2000. He progressed quickly, managing to capture the federation's World Title in one month, becoming the first and only ACWF World Champion. During this time he formed close friendships with Gaius Octavianus, later to become known as [[Octavian]], and [[Khan]], as well as the ACWF's owner [[Mr. Danger]]. Caldera also wrestled with close friend [[The Jhub]].		Steven Caldera got his start in the ACWF in 2000.

Caldera also wrestled with close friend [[The Jhub]].

	During the ACWF's first and only Pay-Per-View event, Deadly Decisions, Caldera wrestled in a one-night tournament, defeating The Heckler, the Lord of Illusions, and finally arch nemesis Big Daddy Dero to become the ACWF World Champion. However, during the final match, Caldera suffered a devastating knee injury, rupturing the ACL and MCL in his right knee. Doctors informed Caldera that the injury was career-threatening, and when the ACWF closed shortly thereafter, Caldera considered retirement.

Doctors informed Caldera that the injury was career-threatening, and when the ACWF closed shortly thereafter, Caldera considered retirement.

			=== CWU ===
	However, Caldera was contacted by the Krotzers of the CWU. He was offered a job as Commissioner after expressing interest in working as booker. Commissioner Caldera arrived in the CWU in late 2000 and was immediately despised by the CWU crowd for his manipulative, absolutist approach to management. However, though personally disliked, most of the CWU's roster appreciated Caldera for having quickly boosted ratings. CWU experienced unprecedented success under Caldera, who quickly showed his aptitude for the business. The ownership disappeared during this time, leaving Caldera in charge of the company, and the CWU became the biggest independent federation in America. However, once the ownership returned, Caldera was forced out. Caldera announced his intention to start his own wrestling promotion, and most of the CWU roster made verbal commitments to follow him there. Among the CWU stars who would eventually establish themselves in GCW were Toxic, Trash (later known as [[Twizzy]]) and [[Rich 'The Renegade' Rollins]].

			=== GCW ===
	Caldera founded GCW in February of 2001. He had amassed considerable personal wealth during his time in wrestling, which he invested wisely. He took the entire sum and committed it to GCW, putting his life on the line to continue to pursue his passion for wrestling. The risk paid off as GCW debuted to record numbers.

			=== AWA ===
	Shortly after starting GCW, Caldera underwent an experimental knee replacement surgery. The surgery was highly successful, allowing Caldera to return to the ring. While continuing to work as head booker for GCW, Caldera began working for the independent promotion the [[American Wrestling Alliance]]. Caldera quickly won acclaim as the AWA Television Champion. After major rivalries with Vapor Adams and Dave 'The Rave' Santini, Caldera began his historic feud with Low. Low and Caldera engaged in a long, brutal war over the AWA World Title. Caldera finally won the AWA World Title in a First Blood Match against Low in December 2001. Low would win the title back two months later, only to promptly vacate the belt. Caldera would then win the vacated title back in February. Eventually Caldera's replaced knee wore out and had to be operated on again, prompting Caldera to pass the title off to former rival and protoge Vapor Adams.

	During this break, Caldera returned to the AWA having healed his knee. Caldera met old rival Dave Santini and Ray Owens in a triple threat match in December 2002, where he captured his third AWA World Title. He held the title for 42 days before meeting Hangman in a steel cage match at Hellbowl. The match ended in a no contest when Caldera was thrown from the top of the cage, resulting in massive damage to his knee. Caldera was stripped of the title and would never wrestle in the AWA again. The knee damage was so severe that Caldera was unable to return to any ring for a full time schedule. A third reconstructive surgery on his right knee allows him to live comfortably.

			=== Middle Years ===
	Caldera has returned to the ring from time to time since then. Most notably Caldera entered PTC's [[GTT]]5 tournament, making a short but impressive run before his knee failed him against Jimmy Bong. Caldera also teamed with [[Seymour Almasy]] at [[NC-17]] 2006 against [[Angelo Deville]] and [[Rich 'The Renegade' Rollins]] in an [[ACWF Match]]. Caldera defeated Rollins in the match and escaped significant damage.		Caldera has returned to the ring from time to time since then.

	After splitting from Kimbusa, Caldera took most of 2004 off to expand [[Caldera Enterprises, Incorporated]]. During this time Caldera's company grew exponentially, making Caldera one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.

			=== GCW Again ===
	Caldera finally reopened GCW in 2005 to a huge response. GCW instantly became bigger and better, attributable to Caldera's greater experience and resources. GCW continues to run today with great success, though Caldera himself has returned to his absolutist ways, having resurrected The Establishment once again.
