Honestly there top 10 team to ever do it. you can make an argument and say top 5. they had great chemistry, cool moveset,and they were believable especially if they felt like showing out. There character work at times was lacking but even as brothers they were different enough that a fan could tell them apart.

I was gonna give them a 8.5 but they deserve at least a 9. They should be remembered as a legendary team and tag teams today should be studying them especially if they are up-and-coming.

Steiners are the GOAT hoss tag team. Their style was so overwhelming they had The Road Warriors bumping and selling. Their matches 90-94 vs so many opponents had high impact amazing moments. My only negative is that they didn't work every promotion in their prime so their would be even more piff of theirs to enjoy. I still don't understand why someone doesn't outright copy them ala The Revival and Brainbusters. 10

Legendary! I wasn't a big Steiner's fan because my tag teams in the NWA/WCW were Doom, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, Miracle Violence Connection, Road Warrior's and Midnite Express

But they are Legendary top 5 Tag Team of All Times

If y'all want to see The Steiner's not held back at their peak watch them when they wrestled in Japan

Giving them a 9 instead of a 10 cause I missed a good portion of their peak and revisited them later on well after their peak. But what I eventually saw was an excellent power team that had amazing chemistry and a GOAT finisher. Similar to Undertaker, I wish Scott athletic peak (early 90s) was in sync with his peak gimmick/promo ability (98-00). A lot of teams have copied things from them, and that lets you know how great they were.

what kind of logic is this in the bolded?

that's your own personal problem.

you need to take a point away from yourself.


They fell off once they hit the WWF. Combination of roids, injuries and just not fitting in there. They never got back on track after that, but their NWA/WCW is god-tier. Scotty really was one of the best wrestlers in the world for a short period of time.


they had the best tag team matches in mid-90s WWF. like if you do a top 5 list for that, they would have at least 3 or 4 matches on there.

and they were still putting on classics after that. had a cup of coffee in ECW and gave the best tag team match in the company's history, when they faced the eliminators.

they did fall off towards the end of their run together when they went back to WCW tho, before they split them up.

Their match versus Takayki Iizuka & Tatsumi Fujinami at Wrestlewar 92 was sick. On eof the stiffest matches I've seen out of WCW or WWF. Some of the moves were ridiculous too. Scott Steiner fukking up his moonsault powerbomb landing directly on his head then hitting it on the other guy (4:48), Rick being held up in the air like he's about to take a doomsday device and catching him and turning it into a belly to belly off the shoulders (9:38), Scott with the standing backflip out of a double hammerlock (18:00). Dudes was just doing shyt that wrestlers their size shouldn't be doing.

this match does not get enough mention IMHO
