The Steiners vs. Doom. That was some good sh*t.
Yes! My dad and I LOVED Doom! But I also loved the Steiners as well, so it was tough for me rooting for both.
First match I thought of was Steiners vs Simmons and Reed!
Just two bad ass tag teams going at it. Doom is underappreciated
@@cctitansfanthey sure are. I was always a fan. They were so cool as a kid. Scary.
"So I tell Scotty, you know what will get over the most? If you take every steroid there is, at the same time" - Dwayne Johnson to Scott Steiner in 1994.
Alternate: "you know what will get you over? Tell everyone your eating in and our burger for the first time, dosnt matter if you have before. The marks don't pay attention."
Dwayne The "My-Wife-is-a-Marketer-and-Is-Trying-to-change-Wrestling-History" Johnson
😂😂😂😂
Dwayne really had the most help and was given so much and no one sees that , that’s what I dislike about him the most, he always had a spot in the business cause of family, he married into a marketing team, and he had business relations with wwe even before the recent buy
If ya trapped in a burning car, you couldn't think of 2 better guys turn up than Dr Death and Steiner to rip the door off... 🤣
People don't remember how great the Steiners were. I was a big fan of the tag team. Them, Legion of Doom, & Hart Foundation were my favorite tag teams.
Ax & smash, headshrinkers as well.
They do remember. It's the younger Gen that doesn't care about the past and treat it likes it irrelevant. Nah, WE know how good they were ;)
The Frankensteiner is still my favorite move of all time. It blew my mind as a little kid.
When Scott Steiner was attacking anyone in WCW who called it a hurricanrana instead of a frankensteiner, bullying the announcers too 😂 good times
I KNOW RIGHT !REMEMBER THE 1ST TIME I SEEN IT ALSO !!FREAKIN BLEW MY MIND!! MY DAD HAD TO TELL ME TO CALM DOWN WAS SO EXCITED !! LOL LOL !!!
Steiner Screwdriver
If you play the video games, WCW superbrawl for super nintendo and WCW main event for Gameboy, Scott Steiner uses the Frankensteiner as a finisher in both games.
@Mekrabb wow, good memory...I don't think he ever hurt anyone but was asked to stop using it (scott)
Bulldogs versus Steiners would have been good.
i thought the same thing. Two most talented all around teams of all time i'd say
I wasn't even deare
The Steiners, in their youth, were a freaking menace to society!
Scott will always be a menace.
Legit toughest team in wrestling history
Aronald was a German Shepherd
@@shawnsdr3406 Loved watching there tag team matches from 89 to 94 That era they where absolute machines in the ring! Was hyped to see them wrestle every time. No other wrestlers where that exciting! People that never seen them wrestle back then have no idea how good they where!
I love that Jim’s review of the Steiner Brothers Biography is almost twice as long as the episode.
The editing was so oddly abrupt, multiple times, including the end on that biography. It really should’ve been a 2 hour documentary.
"The numbers don't lie and they spell disaster for you" - Scott Steiner
Kurt Angle KNOWS
SMO JOE,
@@Cursed_Mark 😂😂😂
At Snackrafice!
Sloppy joe
Jim taking shots at Conrad 😂😂
The Steiners get 1 hour. Jerry Lawler got 1 hour. Rob Van Dam, 1 hour. The Miz gets 2??? Great job A&E.
Damn, really? They made a 2-hour biography for the only two-time Grand Slam Champion in the history of WWE? A&E is stupid. 👎👎 😬😬
Miz is cool
MTV paid for that coverage.
@@AdamSylis-nh5ooright, people pretending miz isn't gonna go down as an all time great is wildddd.
It is bullshit but...WWE icons RVD is near 2 hours and it's great. Yoko's had his icons for 2 hours as well and his A&E for just an hour is just the "best of" from icons.
The 1st time i ever saw the franken-steiner, i was like whaattt the fuucckkk was that. It was the most impressive move at the time
My dad wrestled Rick in high school and still says he’s the strongest person he ever had a match with.
I wouldn't doubt it!
Bay city!!!
I doubt it. Your story that is lmao
@@joshuaflowers4781 tbh i dont, bay city is small as hell, i met a lot of people who went to high school with the steiners while i lived out there
Bay City has a population of about 35,000 and it doesn't surprise me at all when people from the Bay area say that they knew the Steiners. Both of my parents are from Bay City and they both knew the Steiners, as well as their parents.
My dad went to school with their mom, and she had a crush on one of his brothers, who didn't reciprocate her feelings . I wonder what might have happened if my uncle had been interested in her and they had gotten married. Would their kids have gone on to be wrestlers? I don't know. My uncle wasn't the biggest person, but according to my dad, their mom had a very strong build. My dad also briefly worked with Scott and Rick on construction jobs. Their dad was a mason, if I remember correctly.
My mom met Rick, Scott, and their father when they showed up at her house. A relative of hers had gotten on Rick and Scott's father's bad side. My mom said that he was a big dude and not someone to be messed with. The story that she told was actually pretty funny...and fairly short. She didn't hang around once their father started--ahem--confronting her relative. 😆
The Steiner Bros were a question on Jeopardy last night. 😂
Who are the two biggest baddest booty daddies on the plant? Who are the Steiner Brothers.
usually when youre in jeopardy, theyre the answer
The Steiners vs. Sting/Luger was the only reason I wanted to watch Superbrawl One. Such a unique matchup with basically two babyface teams.
It might be my favorite match in the history of wrestling. The older talent thought they all would fail because there was no ring general to carry them. They all hit amazing spots and the match was exactly what it needed to be to enhance all four of them.
I started watching wrestling with my grandmother in 1994/1995 so Steiners vs Sting\Luger along with Harlem Heat and the Nasty Boys just in rotation on whatever they showed on saturday at 6am was classic.
Absolutely fantastic match!
Bron Breakker is a shit name straight out of 2010s WWE.
Bron Steiner would be a cool name though. A mix of both!
Bill Watts said in his book, he wanted to turn Scott heel as far back as 1992 because he thought he would make the greatest natural heel ever because he was such a prick. Watts knew what personalities make for great heels. But alas--we would have to wait 5 years for his dream to come to fruition. Scott just didn't want to do it because it was Watts wanting him to do it
The not so thinly veiled shots at Conrad Thompson that begin at the 54 minute mark really made me chuckle a bit.
CONrad
Ooh, I’ll look forward to that. Conrad is awful.
Me as well
Conman Thompson*
Conrad Flair-Thompson, remember Conrad is a horseman. And Conrad is working toward gaining average carpentry skills.
I grew up in Michigan and I remember a couple of Local News spots on George The Animal Steele, showing him as a wrestler and teacher. They tried to keep it Kayfabe, by saying things like when he's in the ring he "transforms" into "The Animal". 😁
If Scott Steiner threatens you, you gotta take it seriously.
Not really, when Steve Blackman makes a threat, then you take it seriously.
@@roccojamison89gooker51 yeah okay. If Steiner ever threatened you I’d bet you’d take precautions
@@dwoodstwin I'm just following advice from Wrestling Bios. Wrestling Bios is more reliable than Dave Meltzer.
Just don't take a bet against Joe Pesci at the blackjack table in the movie Casino.
My understanding is that the Steiners were up there with Haku in terms of toughness. I don’t think quite that hard, but still. If even half of what we hear about Haku is true, then that means people who were even half of Haku are people you absolutely need to not be on their shitlist
@@VesiustheBoneCruncher he was a standout college wrestler at Michigan and seems to have a volatile personality. That’s all I need to know
Watch there matches with Doom and Harlem Heat. Classics.
Scott was born a genetic freak😂
I loved how he was going after Hogan and there was nothing people could've done to stop him. He's the best!😂😂😂😂😂
Now i have to find the Steiners vs. Bret and Owen match. The documentary didnt even mention the fueds with Kevin Sullivan and Doom. Thise were early Steiner Bro days when Missy came to the ring with them.
141 2/3 chance of this being the best A & E Biography.
Don’t forget to add Kurt Angle to the mix!
Scott Steiner giving Hase the Screwdriver is one of the most batshit crazy things I've ever seen in wrestling.
Scott performed the move so fluid and quick. It was hard to appreciate that Scott protected Hiro as Scott took most of the impact and stabilized Hiro's neck.
I think he spiked his own head every time he did the standing backflip fallaway slam. And half the time he did his frankensteiner. Still one of my all time favourites, would have loved his prime to have matched up with the likes of Lesner and Angle.
You think they would just could call him Bron”The Breaker” Steiner
I could literally watch stieners vs. Harlem heat every Monday night for the rest of my life.
Steiner bros best tagteam
I still find their style was one of a kind torn between Steiner brothers, and Funk brothers for my favorite
Favorite tag team of all time!
I prefer to say one of the best
I still remember the promos of Rick calling Mike Rotunda “Mike Retard-o”
Hahahaha the whole crowd starts chanting “RETARDO, RETARDO”
I never heard of this, was this mid south, or NWA?
@@marccaselle8108 hmmmm don’t quote me on it, but I think it was like 88-89 nwa/wcw Saturday night or whatever It was called at the time.
@@marccaselle8108 lookin back I’m thinking it’s gotta be the Saturday night episodes leading to Starrcade 88, or somewhere around there? I’ll get corrected, but I think I’m in the ballpark.
I wasn't aware of Scott's health circumstances with his foot. That would explain his lackluster in ring work during his second WWE run.
At least he had more of a foot than Kerry Von Erich did
i was so hyped for his wwe return too. man it was bad.
@@sublime90 me too. I wanted to see him succeed!
@@impalaman9707Kerry was infinitely better with a fake foot than most wrestlers today.
That match between Scott and Wojo. It's hard to believe that was Scott's first match in front of people. What a prodigy. Nobody ever took wrestling further than the Steiners.
Wasn’t it Ron Simmons who, when asked why the Steiners didn’t rib him, say “I am unfuckwithable”?
I loved watching the Steiner Brothers growing up and they made me want to get into amteur wrestling. And as a fellow Scott, I loved seeing Scott as big as he was doing the Frankensteiner. Definitely one of the greatest tag teams of all time.
A pair of walking jaws of life just happening upon the scene of your accident while you're trapped in a burning car has gotta be good karma or guardian angels or something.
Bron stated he doesn't want to use his families name to get over, he wants to make his own legacy.
Charlotte Flair used to say the same.
That was under Vince though. Could’ve been a lie. He uses their moves lol
I mean... he uses the bark and the announcers bring it up every time he's on.. lol
I think Bron should not only use the Steiner name, but also The Steiner Recliner. The spear should be the setup to the Recliner...
I really think someone must’ve sat him down and told him Bron Breaker could be star in 10 years, but Bron Steiner is headed to the main roster a third of that time.

When I think of Tag Team, I think of the Steiner Brothers. First Team to pop up in my head. Most decorated Tag Team in history.
When i think tag team the roadwarriors are always the first to come to mind. Steiners were beast though.
@joshrobinson6785 Road Warriors probably drew more money, but The Steiners were better wrestlers. Probably the only team to win the nwa, wcw, IWGP, and WWF Tag Titles.
@@thomashenley1903LOD had AWA, NWA, WWF and NWA INT
There’s a story that goes around in the northern part of Michigan saying that Steiner Brothers got hammer in the bar and beat the crap out of everybody and got banned for life from that area
Greatest tag-team of all time.
Is Bron spectacular? Absolutely. You can not yet say he's what Scott was in his early years in the ring. Lightweights and luchadors couldn't do the stuff Scott was doing. Other muscle men couldn't do the power moves he could. Show me anybody doing standing backflip powerslams holding men the size of Sid Vicous. He invented the huricanrana, and still nobody has done it better and it should be called the Frankensteiner and nothing else.
Agreed. The more I thought about Scotts abilities the more I'm okay with someone arguing he should be considered one of the GOATS
@@nathano9637 I didn't even get into his ludicrous bumping ability.
IMO The Steiner Brothers Are The Greatest Tag Team Of All Time…Two REAL Life Brothers Who Are BOTH Legit Tough And Can Actually Wrestle…I Would Put Then Up Against ANY Brother Tag Team In History…
P.S. I agree…Thst Biography should have been 2 hours long…and so what if Bron doesn’t use the Steiner name,let him develop his own identity and forge his own path…the dude is an absolute beast who is destined for greatness!
The best Steiner Bros story I heard was Paul Herman’s road story he told on Stone Cold’s podcast about him and the Samoan Swat Team having a food fight with the Steiners and Sting driving down a highway in the dessert it was so bad the rental car Heyman rented was declared totaled and he was blacklisted from renting cars in that state lol it’s really insane the things they did back in the day in a pre 9/11 world
The Steiner’s had some bangers when they returned to WCW. That NWO era …. So many underrated bangers.
"The most Understandable Woman in the world, the wife of Scott Steiner."😂😂😂
Very depressing to realize that all three guys who were house-flipping with Rick have been gone for years. 😔
"Gertrude Wildebeest-Floofingham"
I LOVE how Corny's brain works; so abstract yet lightning-quick and highly articulate !!!!
Many of my family members and I went to the same high school as the (Rech)Steiners. The saying was always the brother who acted like he was stupid actually got better grades than the other.
Bron Breakker chose his own name
I was 6 years old when Rick debuted and he was one of my heroes, heel, baby face, didn’t matter. Love Rick Steiner!
That WCW title story is great. The belt used to have a dent at the top and the belt Booker T took to WWF was pristine. Brilliant
Scott Steiner is that rare case of a wrestler who was in WWE but was truly defined by every promotion other than WWE.
"YOU KNOOOOOOOW"
-the start of some of the best promos uttered in any wrestling promotion
I have a feeling you didn't want to be "nerd" in the Steiner's neighborhood.
I'm early 40s this is the best tag team of my generation
Roasting Conrad Thompson 🔥🔥🔥
I mean, the Steiners didn't really have to carry Duct Tape with them. (Though they might have.)
Any Ring Crew worth their salt would have a couple large rolls at the ready at every show. All the Steiners would have to do is ask there the tape was, or even just know where it's kept and go get it themselves.
Jim sounded just like Hawk when he said -
“Well….”😂
Also, here’s a fun fact.
There’s one man that even the Steiner Brothers NEVER ribbed.
Ron Simmons.
That’s says enough on who was tougher than both Steiners
that story about rick and the gun is one of the best stories to by jim
Bron sounds just like scott
For those who didn’t watch the Steiner episode, it’s on my channel for those who wanted to see it
Boy, that story about the Big Gold Belt Corny just made up here sure was funny and surely would have never happened 🤣
First Larry, now Scotty Steiner's pitbull. Two dogs that are confirmed to be better workers than half the AEW roster.
The tag team of Larry and Arnold!
No one thinks of the Steiners as children but as mini muscle versions of themselves. Can’t wait for a Road Warriors, Harlem Heat and Ron Simmons
Scott Steiner has been my personal hero since the 90's, and I didn't even know that his foot was damaged for that long. It's a pretty amazing story that he was even able to accomplish what he did. Scott just never gave a damn, and pretty much dared anybody to do something about it. lol
I'm from Bay City, and my dad said he and his cousins wrestled with them.
The Steiner Bros in WCW were like the Road Warriors of the company. Go watch all their WCW matches and you won't get one bad match because pound for pound before Scott blew up with roids, they were one of the strongest tag teams who could legit beat bigger tag teams they were against.
I first saw the Steiners in '91. They were amazing. Until I saw this documentary, I had no clue that they were so new to the business. I had no clue they had been a tag team for less than two years.
On the topic of Flair and Scott...the reason Steiner has always disliked him is because he felt Flair sand bagged him in that early singles match. And WCW was starting to use Scott as a single...that suddenly ended when Flair took over as the booker and if I'm not mistaken it's been said Flair didn't outright bury him but said something to the effect of he's no Sting.
Scott Steiner is banned from the San Jose Mineta International Airport due to him wanting to whoop Hulk Hogan. This happened during Wrestlemania 31 Weekend.
Road warriors as a Kid was awesome,
Steiner Bros, as a Adult was , are , forever awe inspiring.
Easily G.O.A . Tag team.
The only thing better than Arnold Steiner, the baby face dog that jumps between the ropes to attack the heels, are Jim Cornette's stories about discovering Arnold already knew how to work and deciding to put him on shows!
Scott's late 90s promos on Ric Flair was wild!
The review of the episode is about twenty minutes longer than the episode.
The Steiners started teaming around the same time the British Bulldogs stopped teaming. But if the timeline had been a little different can you imagine these two teams in the same locker room....if they didn´t like each other?
It would have been sheer mayhem.
Steiner Brothers then Road Warriors the goats of tag team.
Mulkey Brothers
Scott was an All American in D1.
To be an All American is to be in the top 8 ranking in College.
To be an All America is a big deal!
You are in the Top 8 in the NCAA you are one of the baddest humans of 8 billion people in the world, especially at 190lbs. I say you are in the top 100 in the world.
Steiners are the GOAT!! And check your Road Warrior crap at the door. They were an amazing attraction and certainly in the top 3 of all-time, but The Steiners could outperform them (and everyone else) every day of the week and twice on Sunday! And you don't need Scott Steiner math to figure that out! Hahaha! :)
nope. midnight express.
Who drew more
It's a shame that Rick wasn't able to have as much success as Scott when they went on singles runs, but as epic as they were as a tag team - Scotty was so entertaining on the mic and is epic as a singles guy as well
I love this podcast, I'm 31 so this was before my time.. I did watch big poppa pump and I liked Scott for what he did and how he looked and it's nice to hear story's about the older generation and learn how the business was compared to today it's almost like listening to your grandparents when you were young and wishing you could have more conversations with them as your older ...
Just found my bootleg Dvd's of this tag team yeah they was good.😮😮😮😮
Lol sounds like a lot of fun memories with the Steiners.
The Steiners had some great matches in WWF in the early 90's. I especially liked their matches with the Heavenly Bodies, and their matches with the Beverly Brothers. It's a shame things never worked out better for them in WWE. Their were some good teams around that time that they never really had the opportunity to work with.
Lol. Father Jim said the dog could work.
55:30 didn't Brain Solomon find the original belt under someone's desk while he worked in the WWE?
They told the story before
Does anyone have more information on the story that starts at 53:52?
One of the most underrated feuds during the nitro days was Steiners vs fire and ice, we also used to get the Steiners vs the faces of fear, also vs Benoit and mongo, what a fun time for tag team wrestling
When they’re talking about the title belt being sold, who are they referring to?
I really enjoyed this biography. One of the greatest tag teams of all time. midnight express are the greatest though. midnight, rock n roll, steiners, road warriors.
I love the fact that Scott Steiner altered the leg scissors and sped it up and made it cool.
I wonder if Bron has been to Mexico North (Canada) yet. I seem to remember that Big Poppa Pump didn’t have much symphy for those people. They were always carelessly throwing out that “Hurricanrana” word.
I first saw Rick in Mid-South/UWF, when he was still being called Rob Rechsteiner; and Scott, in Memphis, in 1988.
Being from Johnson City, every time Jim mentions it I miss SMW so bad. Freedom Hall was the first place I got see the Stiners live.
I agree with Brian about Summerslam '93. That was a great match.
As a Texan, there are "service roads" all over our great state.
As a New Yorker I ask what is a “service road”?
We have them in Michigan. They're basically side roads adjacent to Interstates and highways. You can use them to get on or off the freeway, and there are often businesses like gas stations and convenience stores on them.
Was hoping Jim would review RVD’s episode
Padlocks as a rib is a classic Curt Hennig move that he learned in the AWA. He admitted to pulling that rib on multiple occasions.
That story about the poor ref and the pencil and duct tape, could never look past that they should both be in jail
I wonder if these guys even realize that another second generation wrestler, Tonga Loa, was in WWE over a decade ago under the name Camacho. He was Hunico's (later the second Sin Cara) bike riding running buddy. WWE has always been ridiculous with second generation wrestlers. Snake's boy was Deuce from Deuce and Domino.
They were still in WWF until after Wrestlemania. Scott lost a KOTR qualifier to IRS
I saw and met them in the late 80s and early 90s. They were so good to fans
