Outsiders don't have the longevity to be even considered Tier 0.


the outsiders don't belong anywhere near any top tier as a tag team.
if they are top tier, then i can place scsa and hbk as top tier.

as a matter of fact, where is your mention of the blondes @Ed MOTHERfukkING G.
since, you were running off names to compare.
or better yet,...
where do you place the blondes?

There are 100s of tag teams, i mentioned 2-3 for each as a general sample. This thread is not about ranking each tag team.

Young Scott Steiner was basically lesnar but even more agile. Absolute beast.


Steiner was light years ahead of any power super heavy.
who competed in singles workrate skill set wise, in wrasslin.
I feel Steiner when he shows venom for flair sabotaging him via the book in nwa.
plus, him always referencing not being given his title.shot which occurred and never was expounded upon correctly back then.
when, it comes to Steiner, luger, Austin, sting having heat with flair about booking.
I understand why they have as much past or current disdain that has either gone away or still present for flair.

they got buried, because either of those guys if booked accurately in the pocket. Would and could have created the second domestic north American boom for wrasslin, if it was done in the pocket of the brightest of their popularity and never upended by purposeful politics.
all those old huff ass placeholder sting has to wtassle a monster. Or, the steiners are downgraded angles. The total miscalculation of booking luger were criminal.


I love flair, and if he never endured his own doghouse days in wcw with Bischoff.
flair would get a lot of that goblin venom that hogun gets.

Did Austin really have heat with Flair though? I thought the stem of Austin's heat in WCW was from Hogan. Austin was upper-tier midcard until Hogan and his goons arrived. If Hogan never arrived in WCW, I think Austin would've gotten Flair's spot eventually.

your references are totally inaccurate though.
yet, put up there like you know.
when, it is obvious and we can tell from what you posted you don't know.

it would be better to just admit, you don't know.
nuffin wrong with saying you don't know as long as you ramp up.
when, the information is there.

he has had little periods of heat with flair here and there.
He is flair's original protege though.
so, of course in that.
they have had periods of on and off again.
like sometimes, he won't give flair his just just due as playing a role in his development.
sometimes, he gives flair his overdue.
it is understandable if you were an apprentice.

If they were there in the late '90s, early '00s, they could have had some GOAT matches.


Imagine Steiners vs Dudleys in a TLC match :wow:



they wrestled WAY BETTER teams in the NWA & WCW. late '80s nwa & mid-90s wcw had the best tag divisions in modern wrestling history.

that attitude era division cant hold a candle, and if yall want to be real, they didnt really shine like that unless a gimmick match was involved.


I don't know, breh. Steiners were shytty, sloppy wrestlers by that point. :patrice: So I guess they would've been perfect for the Attitude era. :leon:

Would've been fun to see some back and forth between on the mic between Big Poppa Pump and Bubba though. (Yeah, I know they feuded in TNA but I didn't even remember that until looking up the Steiners on Wiki.)


the steiners/dudleys feud would not have been as dope in the wwf, seeing that it revolved around the promos, which were a smark's wet dream.

the wwf would not have allowed those promos to even exist.

if anybody missed it in TNA, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

I forgot Muta & Sting vs. Steiners happened. Need to check that out on YouTube.

Steiners were so wasted in WWF. They had no teams to go against.
they had money inc and the beverly brothers lol..but yeah wasted was the word and of course the numerous combination of jobbers they fukked up in the ring

faces of fear >>> APA

why even fantasize about a match with the APA when we already had the stuff with DOOM?

they had money inc and the beverly brothers lol..but yeah wasted was the word and of course the numerous combination of jobbers they fukked up in the ring


no love for the heavenly bodies & the headshrinkers?

their best wwf match was with the heavenly bodies, or are they just not seen as a wwf team? if so, i understand.
