The Steiners only help the wcw tag titles once?
That's gotta be wrong, n
Anyways, I'd said 8 or 9. Gotta knock a point or two off for how much he fell off at the end, but he was legitimately in the conversation for being the best at all things at one time or another
They always had the secondary title or were locked up in feuds with guys like the nasty boys who were never on their level.
Yet the workrate discrepancy is what made the matches in a style make fight sense.
Plus, the fact they were that good nobody else could fukk with them.
So, it created the issue that the road warriors had.
Which was once you put the main title on them and in that era....it started to be a where do we go from here situation.
It did not matter though, because they were so over and everyone knew they were the best that.
They just needed a strap and any strap they had became thee strap.
Plus, it was hard to book them against anyone else because they were so next level in just a domestic workrate sense.
They made anyone look second rate or a complete mismatch.
That included anyone and I mean anyone.
Which would hurt the convincability of the promotion.
Also, the fact anyone and everyone look second rate to scott steiner and why politically he was held back cause if you gave him the strap.
Nobody other than sting, luger and arm in all domestic wrasslin looked convincing opposite him. Which is a completely different convo.
Case in point just think if Vince would have not feared arn and Scott and put the world wwf title on arn and built a real heel champion not some bullshyt joke that most wwf heels were.
Jus think of the possibilities and even how it would have worked to even grt bret and later hbk over if it was built around the tag division and an and scottie spawning off into the world title.
Jus total missed oppurtunities.
So, they hated and held them in a hold position and just had them on the card and used politics.
When real talk,...steiner was the guy that should have made those dudes work harder.
Plus, they did not want to admit steiner was a possible answer to hogun in wwf as well.
When he really was and the nwa hurt themselves never putting the strap on him sting or luger at the right time.
They lived in fear of steiner and what they were not gonna be if he became what they feared.
When, steiner should have been used to leapfrog the wwf instead of living in fear of scott steiner.
In wwf steiner was feared because the steiners also had no brand loyalty.
So, he was also shackled with no wiggle room in tags and in singles.
To the point not many steiners free tv matches came on.
when they were on wwf like they would the nwa show.
Scott steiner past sting and luger is the epitome of the guy held back in the nwa.
All because the other guys are not as dedicated or as talented.
Plus, he was so good he would have moved wrasslin into a higher quality product that the industry feared as well. When it should have went that direction and did not out of fear and to this day wrasslin is crippled as a quality product because of that that as well.
Scott steiner was a revolting revolution that was kept from being total rebellion that would have made all of wrasslin much better.
Imo, he was horrible to guys because he did not respect being put in a box for some bums.
when he was the guy who was the revolution wrasslin needed.
So, even when I hear the stories i still understand kinda why.
As I been there with the guy who is the actual best and seen them be kept from what they should be and should be their destiny and Scott steiner definitely went though that.
To the point I even have been patterned over the years to suppress my markdom for the guy.
Yet outside the juicer, aj and db.
steiner is the best domestic grappler I ever saw in my whole entire life.
By physique, as scott to bpp.
he is the best American grappler I ever saw and I really wish he would have gotten what his skill said he should have really earned.
Yet as I have had to learn in life and in america,...it is a dirty unfair game and totally wrong.
that the best don't get what they worked for and could purposefully be denied that.
