- Rick Steiner on WCW Jobber beatings & his Shoot w Dr. Death!
10 time World Tag Team champion and Professional Wrestling Hall of Famer "The Dog Faced Gremlin" Rick Steiner discusses the very legit betings "The Steiner Brothers" would give some of the less than skilled enhancement talent in WCW as well as an in-ring "Shoot Incident" he had with Steve "Dr. Death" Williams that Teddy Long was the referee for.

I've always thought it was kinda a wuss way out to beat up on a guy while in the ring, as the other guy probably won't retaliate for fear of being fired, looking bad, being unprofessional etc. Someone like Rick rude did it the manly way, was a pro in the ring and fought in the locker room.
Yeah- taking liberties with a guy who is out there to help make you look good, is just shitty. Its a work. No need to be an a**hole to the guys.
I always loved Rick’s promos in the early 90s. As a little kid you related to him lol
In the 90s my cousin worked as a bank teller and the Steiners used to come in all the time. Rick was really rude to her a few times to the point she cried at least once. As I got older I asked her what Scott was like and oddly enough she said he was normal and more patient.
I have actually met Rick and got to speak with him. He is really cool
My dad meet him in a gym in Marietta Georgia back in the mid to late 80's, he was working out with his girl friend, dad said she was pretty hot looking, both were really nice.
There were 2 kinds of guys who could have good matches with anybody. There were guys like Ric Flair and Arn Anderson who would carry you, and there were guys like the Steiners and Vader who would MAKE YOU WORK as hard as they worked. You were going up for the suplex 1 way or another, even if you didn’t want to.
Vader was a Dangerous Stink Box that believed his Hype ...
@@CP-kb1duboy I hatred Vader as a kid
Loved the Stieners (pre papa pump) but Rick was my favorite. "You don't like me? Bite me!" 😂😂😂😂
Papa pump is legendary
Rick as the Dog Faced Gremlin... fond childhood memories 😂
He's so much more personable than Scott
Gianluca Badejo lolol
@ Heard many say in a straight fight, they put their money on Rick.
At the same time, I feel like Scott is a little more personable than I thought he would be. Brock Lesnar is probably the worst I've seen lol. Only interview I've seen him is with Stone Cold and there were times I thought Brock was gonna whoop Steve's ass lol
@@Tony-fq5bn 😂😂
@@Tony-fq5bn brock has anxiety problems and interviews make him uncomfortable.... quite a few legends have regarded him as a friend and an ok guy to talk to
They don't make 'em like the Steiners anymore... great wrestlers in the ring, and they could kick your ass in the parking lot.
#OldSchool
Thats the Detroit mentality 👊
Dr death and terry bam bam Gordy we’re the only tag team that could test these two
Harlem Heat
Doom. Ron Simmons and Butch Reed
“Let me tell you something about this guy…HE HAS HERPES!”
-Koko Watch Out
He was one of my favorites, running around barking like a dog, the varsity guys think Mike Rotunda,Michigan jacket lol!
Dr Death, if a man was too rough even for Steiners, that was a scary man.
The Varsity Club were gold.
Loved the Steiners. IMO the greatest tag team in pro-wrestling. They used to legit beat the crap out of other tag teams but they were noticeably soft in their matches against Faces of Fear (Haku & Barbarian) and against Doom (Ron Simmons & Butch Reed).
MMAfan They were also softer in their matches with Dick Murdoc & Dick Slater, 2 other guys that they knew not to mess with.
@@The86lenny apparently they were terrified of Ron Simmons,just Ron alone,now that says something right there
2nd greatest
@@poopsyko it's a difference between being scared of someone and having respect for. Just like most ppl on the internet, most ppl are punks. Easy targets then there are some ppl you just know even if you win it might not be worth it
Lol , Scott Steiner and Rick Steiner was as good As They Got in Tag Teams. If the looked soft it was because that was what they were told to do. I saw em beat Simmons and Reed like drums . As for Murdock, he was trying to seriously injure Scott Steiner. That's Bull shit . The Steiner's DOMINATED WCW TAG TEAM WRESTLING. . 👍
Jimmy Snuka didn't have to beat anybody up, because he knew how to work. Jimmy was a class act. Know body could be better.
I'd be scared if I had to wrestle the Steiners especially in the 90s...they could toss you on your head whether you worked with them or not
moonbeamskies Really? I honestly don't believe you. However, if you post a link, I'd like to look into this for myself.
Muscle Doggs No, that was a bad joke! It never happened. The Steiners were so tough even the Road Warriors would probably have been unable to beat them in a shoot.
moonbeamskies Oh, okay. Sorry. You definitely got me though! 😂
@@moonbeamskies3346 You got me too. I had to Google the mulkey brothers and I was just staring at the picture literally saying out loud "these guys???"
@@jarrodromanowski7559 The Mulkey brothers always lost very badly on TV. They seldom got any offense in at all in their matches.
So who is the tougher out of the two?
Rick
Scott
@@DarkShark-xj4fd who was bigger in size?
@@DarkShark-xj4fd thanks for responding 🙂
Rick Steiner what an incredibly nice guy.
My cousins best friend saw him fight live.
@@shaan1001 WOW THATS INCREDIBLE!!
@@shaan1001 You cousin's dog's uncle's boyfriend's sister saw him FIGHT LIVE?
Rick Steiner is literally the coolest wrestler I have met......hats off to him he is a truly a cool dude!
2 of the best underrated wrestlers in the business better than most of the top talent in their day
No
How come these real wrestling fights are never caught on camera
Go watch him give a receipt to Chris Champion via a ridiculous clothesline. Or go watch Saturn rough up a guy to the point that it's basically assault. Or go watch The Skyscrapers rough up Mike Blackwell badly. There are instances where it was caught. The things I don't believe are the stories of Haku taking out entire police forces or multiple military branches all at once with just his bare hands and a pencil eraser or something.
Scott's heart is in bad shape right now.
Years of steroid abuse will do that to a person.
Unfortunately to become Big poppa Pump, he abused steroids, and heart issues are a side affect
Rick looks great...
The steiners were the best next to midnight and Rock n roll. As far as tag teams in the 80s
The Hannibal not gonna lie I just discovered this guy back in 2011 or 2012 something like that. I do remember it was December in 1 of those years. However I am slowly becoming a fan. His work as well as shoots. Great questions in the shoots going back 2 childhood & how these guy's got into this business. & he's a very respectful nice dude but he's Also a big bad ass s.o.b. 2.. keep it goin bro.
I like how rick laughs when he starts asking the question. Like a bully reminiscing of the good ol days. When boys were boys.
Wrestling was better when jobbers became better
Buddy Landel was the kind of guy you had to fuck with, he was his own worst enemy, to bad he couldn't have straighten out before Jim Crockett promotions had enough of his shit and fired him back in 85.
I got in the ring with the Steiners before & I was scared shitless
Jamie McVay what was your ring name?
@@gioarias75 His ring name was 'The Lying Piece of Shit'.
Jai Courvoisier that’s a pretty vulgar ring name!
@@JustinJaiC. lol
@@JustinJaiC. couldnt find anything on the google
Most jobbers knew their role and performed accordingly,but for the marks and also the top guys to think or believe said jobbers if need be couldn't kick their ass in a real world confrontation sets a difficult precedent.
I've seen the matches Steiner is talking about. Trust me there is no way any of those guys would stand a chance against him or Scott in a real fight. The whole reason they were using amateur wrestling moves on them was because they weren't good enough to do the pro moves properly. Neither did they have any amateur techniques to defend the moves. Landel was very scared, he couldn't figure out if they were shooting on him or just toying with them but he apparently deserved it.
GilbertSyndrome brass taxes? Auto correct sucks, doesn't it. I hope you didn't reality mean taxes.
iTubeYourDadsMinge Damn you're a worthless piece of shit lol
In Stan Hansen's book he talks about how his gimmick as a monster heel was to beat up guys in the ring and that many of those guys would destroy him in real life, he mentions the Malenkos.
There were some jobbers who knew their rol, but never learnt how to play it. In my opinion the biggest risk is when you dont know how to move, and you are unable to coordinate those moves with your "opponent": Then is when they have to get total control and double power : to create the show and to overpower any move of that their jobber was doing in any other direction.
When you learn "a little something" in even high school wrestling you can kinda do so some stuff to the average person. So just imagine a high level AAU or NCAA type of dude with a build like a Steiner or a Steve Williams or a Brock Lesnar... it's a terrifying thing to think about. And then you have that other OTHER level of shooter with a catch background... who's maybe possessed of a bit of sadism for whatever reason. The kind that could tear out a pectoral muscle or blow a knee without thinking about it...just to do it. At least with some of the more "conventional" martial arts there's some kind of humanitarian philosophy that's taught alongside the skill set.
STIFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!! Trust me!
LARRYCORY1 I've seen you comment on several videos. I bet you have a lot of awesome stories to tell!
steiner was one of my first Wrestling Heros.....as a part of the varsity Club...i did not like Kevin sullivan or mike rotunda...but steiner was cool.
Remember the Kangaroo shoes commercials?
midnight express only tag team to hold both united States and world tag team belt's at same time
steiner brothers has the World Tag Title, US Tag Titles and IWGP Tag Titles at once....the real IWGP ones.
@@georgebsuh5144 I just watched that match yesterday. It is on the Allied Powers DVD
old yeller tried to bully Vordell Walker,and old yeller got put down
Road warriors always got the big talk and talked of as the goats,the steiners were far better
Harlem Heat were better than both
@@cojack636 not a chance they were better than the steiners
I'm actually a good bit taller than Rick (I stand 6'6) but I got to talk with him a good bit. Him and Scott were one of my 2 All time favourite tag teams. The other is the 4 horsemen
Weird flex but ok
@@LANGI902 seriously
@@LANGI902 I'm faster than Rick in the 40 but I met him and he's cool
These guys are just bullies.
No they weren’t. They were old school, wrestling was more physical back then. Jobber and enhancement talent were supposed to fight back, that’s the art of wrestling it’s supposed to look like a fight. So when guys would no sell they would teach them.
@@durden2480 bullies....period...
Scott wouldn't do that would he? LMAO
Both Steiners don't seem to realize that this whole thing is entertainment and not about hurting each other. I guess that's why neither one of them ever drew any real money. I'm sure there were plenty of times other wrestlers could have hurt them in the ring and didn't -- you know because it's a work...
+Joseph Greene A cup of water if it was American would draw huge in Japan,how else do you explain cheap tricks appeal?
lambert1702 i guess that would be why they always had belts around their waist?
no, actually hes right. the steiners just couldnt connect well enough with the audience to be a BIG draw. most wrestlers were not a BIG draw.
How did they not realize it was entertainment both guys were characters and scott steiner went to be a great heel in WCW.
No one ever said wrestling wouldn't hurt and a lot of guys were rough and most men took it!
Ryan Blevins i guess thats why everywhere they went, they kept putting belts on them because they didnt draw big money. lol
Dogface gremlin
Dream 6 Man Tag Match: The Steiner Brothers(Rick & Scott) w/ Dr. Death Steve Williams
vs.
The British Bulldogs(Davey Boy Smith & The Dynamite Kid) w/ Mr. Magnificent Don Muraco.
Which team wins???
Steiners is going over brother (hulk hogan voice)
Steiner's vs Dr Death and Bam Bam Gordy. Those were the only guys that could handle the bros. Did got his kung pulled out, the Nasty boys were bloodied, the midnights we're destroyed. SST, Doom, Free birds crushed.. Rick and Scott ran through everyone until Doc and Gordy. And then Doc and Gordy lose to a 19 yr old Shane Douglas and little Ricky Steamboat!?! WTF.
OK, I need glasses. I'm looking to the right and there's a picture of Kurt Angle and I'm looking at Rick Steiner thinking they look a lot alike. Are my eyes really that fucked or does anyone think they've grown to look alike? In any way?
that's what high class amateur wrestlers look like! shorter and heavy/low centre of gravity
Ears, noses, eyebrows, necks. You wrestle long enough enough and they get kind of blenderized together.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 Truth.
Ever wonder if a man knows some shit? Just look at his ears.
Another great tag team that the wwf ruined.
Just read the story about him shooting on that one jobber who trained at an MMA gym and getting his ass kicked. It's ad man. The old roided Rick Steiner of the 90's would stretch anyone. Hell I train at the most popular gym in East TN and have a huge MMA bias but I still wish Steiner would have came out on top :/
That was a highly talented independent wrestler named Vordell Walker (who is one of the coolest people you could ever know, and has legit fighting credentials) and he embarrassed Steiner when he tried to shoot on him. 😂
@@power_man1 Never knew that. I looked it up, but couldn't find a ton of stuff since it happened years ago, but it sounded impressive.
Any Rick promo/interview. Count "my brother". Its like he uses it in place of commas or something Just observing.
Also "y'know" is quite common too.
Scott Steiner is a bully and a coward. He badmouthed Flair simply because he's not in Flairs class as a wrestler. I never heard of Steiner bullying Harley Race or Meng. They r plently of guys that like to fight if that's what u wanna do, but I never heard of Steiner picking on someone who fights back because he would have got his ass whipped. Them muscles dont mean shit in a fight
Hi Ric
I met rick once and it was nothing like i wouldve imagined. Very put-off'ish
Gotta love how his reasoning for him and his brother beating the shit out of the enhancement guys is that "they were just in it for a paycheck". Those guys probably made absolute peanuts to go out there and get their heads kicked in, and you're calling into question their profession integrity. I'm sorry, but get fucked lol. When the show closes up, those guys have to go back to their day job. They're not making big contract money, and most of them aren't ever going to he given any opportunities to do anything else besides job for bigger names. The fact is, guys like the Steiners and The Road Warriors did what they did, because they knew they could get away with it. They could go out there and tear the heads off the local guys and no one would say shit. So they did it and they didn't care.
I still have the stars beating the crap of the jobbers with my NWA tabletop wrestling game. I have em booked every weekend when I have the matches ala TBS days. And then its back on tour on Monday night for the house shows. Then on Friday's its the NWA Power Hour, & then I have the 2 hours on Saturday nights & then the NWA Main Event on Sunday's. It don't get anymore old school than this. lol And I have my big Thanksgiving PPV coming up on Thanksgiving night with my NEW creation as you'll be LOCKED IN THE ROCK. Even have up a forum where we all post at. I've been at it for 32 years & I'm just getting started!!! lol
If you use a computer to game you might want to try EWR 4.2 (Google search, its free) or Total Extreme Wrestling (2005 is free, the other versions cost money, they mostly do get better as they go). You can create or download a "mod" that will replicate the "TBS days" (along with the competition so you can poach em).
That’s why they drew no money or never got a Push
Rick is even hotter here than he was back in his wrestling days....cute and handsome...and seems very down to Earth...I'd date him in a second!
Who's this guy?
Really?
Are you a teenager? Not hating but if you dont know who The Steiners are then that's a sign of your youth.
