See that guy that barks?
Yes.
That's the *sane* one.
Oh shit
Whatever you do please _DO NOT_ hand the other guy a live mic 😂
Scott walking up the stage, "Give me that f***** mic!"
😂😂😂 Why did I hear that in Scott Steiner's voice? 😂😂😂
YOU KNOOOOW
(puts foot on 2nd rope)
“ Big poppa pump is your hook up holla if ya hear me “ sirens 🚨
"And now, joining us via Zoom on a 15 second delay, Scott Steiner"
It's genuinely wholesome to hear the respect in Jim's voice
The Steiner Brothers are an all time great tag team, cannot agree enough. I'm glad that Scott is getting some dues too. Not much was good about WCW post-1999 but Big Poppa Pump was one of them.
Steiner was the best thing about Nitro then, totally agree
Holla if ya hear me!
@@tomjohnson5597 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Roid Rage Steiner was one if best things on TV back then.
@@lawv804 it was legendary
There was always a 141.66% chance of them getting into the HoF
You’re a Fool for this one Fella but you are also Correct because not ALL Tag Teams were Created Equal …. 💀
LoL
Kurt Angle KNOWS he can’t beat Scott Steiner so he’s not even going to try.
But what % chance does S’moa Joe have at Sakerfice?
The numbers don't lie.
This one should be a no brainer. 100% deserving.
don't you mean 141⅔ -chance- percent deserving?
And Samoa Joe KNOWS he can’t beat him!
Easily a no brainer.. should have been in a long time ago..
@@DefendYoungstown the numbers don’t lie! And they spell disaster for the 2022 hall of fame class!
Of what? Its a Bullshit Hall of Fame.. they deserve to be enshrined in a real wrestling HOF..are they in for Michigan Wrestling? B/c a cloth banner hanging in the rafters dusty and old is more credible and valuable than..
Vader, the undertaker and the steiner brothers this is gonna be one of the most stacked HOF's ever
Shad getting the Warrior award is also a top choice, in my opinion. Sharmell is not really a big name, but overall it's indeed a great class. Taker alone makes it one of the very best..
And Vader! That's the big one for me.
@@jonathanturbide2232 yeh shad getting the warrior award is also very cool, sharmell getting the Hof is werid she hasn't done much for anything really
Sharmell being in kinda ruins it tho but we cant have everything lol
Idk about stacked have u seen everyone
Steiners vs Muta and Sting in Japan is still one of the best tag matches I've ever seen. If you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend checking it out on WCW/New Japan Supershow 2.
Is it on the network?
Steiners beat up the Hell of Sting on that match
That-match-is-SICK.
I always those Japanese matches in WCW. I remember the Steiner against Muta and Chono. then Steiners vs Williams and Gordy
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 the Steiners/Williams-Gordy matches were the hyped matches everyone wanted to see. Antonio Inoki and New Japan wanted Williams and Gordy to challenge the Steiners for the IWGP Tag Team Championship in New Japan Pro Wrestling....not just work with the Steiners in WCW.....but Gordy and Williams would not work opposition to Giant Baba and All Japan because their loyalty lied with Baba.
When taker finishes his speech then the gong hits…. I can feel the goosebumps already.
The Steiners are simply one of the greatest tag teams that tag teams today should study. Scott Steiner in his youth was almost peerless in terms of in-ring skills. The way he backflipped with guys like Ron Simmons and Butch Reed in his arms was just breathtaking. The Frankensteiner and the Steiner Screwdriver are still a sight to behold.
I remember when they created, and started using, the Frankensteiner. It was a move like no other.
I also think it’s interesting to note the complete metamorphosis that Scott Steiner completed in transforming from the babyface in The Varsity Club, to Big Poppa Pump.
@@adzisme one of the most memorable heel gimmicks without a doubt.
@@adzisme Scott was never part of The Varsity Club but yes his transformation is one of the most notable in wrestling history.
I remember flipping out first time I saw the Steiner Screwdriver
@@theungreatkahli I thought he legit crippled or killed the guy the first time I saw it. Speaks volumes to Scott's ability to perform the move safely.
All math jokes aside, The Steiner Brothers are one of the greatest pure wrestling teams ever and no one should be surprised the son/nephew picked up the business so quick.
Plus it will be worth it if we get a Scott/Otis interaction.
Ha. Plus. Like in Math.....
Seriously though Bron Breaker is the future. He's so dynamic his existence tore down the black balled wall over The Steiner bro's WWE legacy.
Kurt Angle has a 43 and 1/3 percent chance of making it into the hall of fame now that Scott's there.
He's FAT!! (my favorite Scott interview)
@@TheMetalAllfather he's already inducted.
Otis….. he is fat!! 😂😂😂
Scott has really mellowed out, I don't expect the speech to be crazy. It's a good way for them to pump up Bron.
I see what ya did there
I think that's why there going in.
Yup. Exactly
Its a good way for wwe to make more action figures and merch, lets be honest its the only reason legends contracts exist
Scott Steiner actually had a good career in TNA.
I really hope he thanks the people from the great state of obesity during his HOF speech.
His TNA run was a cult classic
HAILING FROM DUNKIN DONUTS
You needed to see them in Japan and WCW in the 80's and 90's Scoot was amazing before the big pappa pump bs
Scott Steiner with a live mic alone will be worth tuning in for. I’m shocked this is even happening, but he and Rick deserve it.
Scott's mic is going to go mute after Rick's speech lol
@@daytractor8553 lol haha 🤣😅
Two of the very few guys i liked every gimmick of because it fitted so perfect. Wether as the steiner bros in wwf or seperated as the DFG and big poppa pump - they were real, believable + extremely good wrestlers.
Scotts transission in wcw is still my favorite. He was so different as the booty daddy and yet great af.
Scott’s speech is the most anticipated moment in recent wrestling history.
He should come out with Stacey Keibler 😄
Gimme the fucking mic!
Aaaaaand it disappointed.
Guess we shouldn't be surprised given how sterile the company is.
@@AxeDharme with his nephews career and his brother running for school board re-election, it was well clear before he signed on that he would need to be tame during the speech
@@AxeDharme Nahhhh the cow is fine with me. Making people backstage scratch their heads is more than enough for me lol.
I know that purely out of respect for his brother, Scott won't say anything outlandish. He won't care what Vince or Triple H wants, but he wouldn't want to take away from his brother's moment.
Also out of love and respect for his 24 years old nephew, the next big thing in WWE.
Both brothers had great mentors when they started. Rick was my favorite. His Steinerline IS on my top 5 list of most devastating clotheslines in the business
The Dog-faced Gremlin perfected the "Clothesline From Hell"
Rock and Roll express...Steiner brothers...LOD...all in the hall of Fame...where in the hell are the Midnight Express?? They deserve it just as much
Steiner Bros: * walk onto the stage at HOF *
* Rick gets his mic *
Scott: GIVE ME A FUCKIN' MIC!
i used to love the matches the Steiners had with Doom.
Poppa Pump was the NWO leader after Hogan & did well. He also owned TNA for awhile. We didn't know what we had. The tag team is up there with LoD, Demolition, Hart Foundation, British Bulldogs, etc. I can go on but I'll be here all day!
Scott once walked to the ring with a tiger on a leash. That is a thing that happened.
If it were anyone else, it would seem out of place. Steiner doing it…nope, normal.
Scott really used his speech to talk about cows. Incredible.
Honestly was my fav part of HOF
The Steiners are legit hall of famers.
I love Scott Steiner I hope they let him make his own speech I’m so glad they finally got to get their accomplishments
I hope they let him run the show.
*UP NEXT AND HAILING FROM DUNKIN DONUTS*
WWE doesent allow that. It’s a professional company. If you want unscripted watch another promotion
@@CPCGamer THE GREAT STATE OF OBESITY
@@Punkinlunk His speech will be unscripted, but he will have ground rules.
Scott wouldn't say anything crazy. Dude is loyal to his brother and won't do anything to fuck up Ricks' son career.
If Scott Steiner was in WWF in 98/99 he would be recognised as one of the best heels of all time
But I doubt he'd play ball with Vince's ideas. For starters, he can't cut his (in)famous promos without being censored
Steiner brothers were my favourite tag team growing up. Deserve to be in the hall of fame plain and simple
With Vader, Undetaker and The Steiner Brothers. This is like old school NWA circa 89-90. Love it! I just hope one day soon we get Sid and Lex in there too.
Sid and Lex both also has major heat with Vince.
Vince blames Lex for killing Elizabeth.
@@Richth76 no, nothing that dramatic. Vince invested a lot of money in Lex and Lex jumped ship back to WCW. Lex screwed Vince. Medusa screwed Vince by throwing the WWF womens title in the trash live on WCW.
The WWE Hall of Fame always has me rolling my eyes in general, both because of the ludicrous entrants in so many cases and because so far it doesn't physically exist. BUT any accolade or acknowledgement the Steiners get as a tag team is fine by me. They were amazing in their day. Good for them.
Agreed. I was happy to see Vader and Rob & Scott getting their props, but was not feeling the Sharmell induction.
They are quitley building it mate, why do you think they are buying memoribillia. Give it 5 years and you can go visit ok son
@@justinmorton7693 Those Hall of Fame inductions started in 1993, friend. Let's go with your timeline; 34 years after they started inducting people into the Hall of Fame they're actually going to have a Hall of Fame.
To compare, the first Baseball Hall of Fame inductions happened in 1936 and the actual Hall was opened in 1939.
The first inductees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame came in 1963. The actual Hall was also opened in 1963.
I'm getting more inconsistent dates on the Hockey Hall of Fame and their first class of inductees, but it looks like at most was there was a two year gap.
I've lost interest in further HoF digging, so feel free to tell me about a longer gap than 34 years between first class and actual building construction, but I'm gonna go right on rolling my eyes at Vince I think.
Its to hoodwink washed up ex talent into signing their likeness to the wwe for merch and action figures
Scott Steiner wisely said once upon a time :
"I am not going into the WWE Hall of Fame. I am not going somewhere where there's nowhere to go. Where's it at? I am not going somewhere where if I get into some trouble, I cannot call 911.
I cannot have a beacon call to the coast guard, because who knows? It could be in Atlantis for all I know.
It could be underwater, it could be in parts unknown ... I am not going there, it's a joke, it's non existent.
It would be better to put the WWE Hall of Fame on the Moon, at least then you can look up at the Moon at night and say - Wow! Look at the WWE Hall of Fame!!"
I love the Steiner brothers. Legit good pick for hof.
"I'd like to thank my freaks and my peaks" *mic drop*
Well deserved and long overdue, a genuinely great team.
Sharmell in the HOF is the height of woke culture.
Special Delivery Jones is another. A glorified jobber, gimme a break.
Awesome. They were a very believable team of tuff brother's. Good to hear!
They are tuff brothers, they could have beaten 99% of the locker room in a shoot in their prime
Scott's heat was always with Triple H and Steph, he always said he had no real problems with Vince.
This is great news. Well deserved. I’ve always been a fan of them. Scott’s speech is gonna be off the chain. Their tag stuff was great. But then they had their singles runs and Scott blew it out of the water. Not taking anything away from Rick at all.
Nope Scott will be sensored so it won't be off the chain at all.
This is great news, the move set that this tag team had in the ring was amazing. I was glad to be able to watch these men on tv in the 90's.👌
@@theherogothamneeds1014 Scott can still be entertaining even if a bit limited.
Ah man. I can't wait. This is going to be classic.
Scott’s speech gon be crazy
he is actually pretty soft spoken when not in character.
I think he has too much respect for his nephew to say anything too crazy
@@danlord7717 Exactly, I have no idea why people wants him to bash WWE when his 24 years old nephew is literally the company's top prospect. He can be entertaining without bashing the company.
Someone in the production truck is gonna have their finger on the mute button ready the moment Scott starts speaking.
@@danlord7717 Who is his nephew?
Rick & Scott are my favorite team ever. They were so much fun to watch and no match was boring.
Watching their early stuff, especially their work in Japan, these guys a shoo in for the HoF, Scott doing the frankensteiner centre ring, jumping straight up off the mat was phenomenal.
Their Japanese stuff is just...unbelievable. Amazing, AMAZING work. Good taste, man. 🍻
@@allamaraine8066 there was like a twenty minute montage on here of Steiner's in action, loads of stuff from Japan, I'm guessing it got took down for copyright reasons, 'welcome to the jungle' playing first lol, loads of frankensteiners with dead jumps, I couldn't believe how easily he did it given he was about 260lbs. And he suplexed Vader! I'm not sure but I think then and the Bulldogs bypassed one another, that would've been a match for the ages, two best tag teams to grace Japan.
@@dubiouscaesar3709 I don’t think I’ve seen that specific video, but you’re right, they were fucking beasts! And I think I’ve seen the Vader match you’re talking about! You look at the stuff they would do, and you wonder how they didn’t hurt themselves or their opponents, and you realize - these dudes were just that STRONG, and they were just that GOOD. Genuinely don’t think we’ll ever see another team like them. Just straight monsters.
It’s nice talking to people who can appreciate the quality stuff, man. Cheers.
One of my favorite tag teams ever. And I was lucky enough to have met them then both at a convention a few years back. Talked to Scott for awhile. Cool dude and seems to have mellowed out a bit.
He had a medical issue a few years ago and has calmed down a lot since then. Seems to focus more on running his business and looking after his family.
I know how feel Michael. Just like when I met the LOD as a scrawny teenager.
If Scott doesn't repeat some version of the "Steiner Math" promo, I'll be sorely disappointed.
I need “Steiner Math”
All time Greats.....There is no wrestling hall of fame without the Steiner brothers. They took tag teams to a whole new level.
My favorite team ... Those two are the reason I'm a Michigan Wolverines fan... Much deserved.. the greatest tag team of all times imo
GO BLUE!
You forgot to mention that Rick Steiner also broke in with Sting in the UWF, that's when I first saw him.
apparently scott was burying steph and HHH on some podcast like 2 weeks ago
Now we need DENNIS. STAN. & BOBBY in the HOF
Absolutely
Wouldn't it be crazy if Paul Heyman inducts The Midnight Express into the HOF?
@@MisterE1976 Corny would go after him with gimmicked Cellphone on a tennis racket.
Long overdue.
Easy choice for the WWE H.O.F....Hollar if you hear me! Woof!
Would love to see this be the moment Bron Steiner gets to move forward as a Legacy wrestler and jump up to The Main Roster
I’d love to see Bron Steiner Vs. Brock Lesner
"the Road Warriors if they were agile" exactly. I hope they do an angle where Bronn is mentored by his dad but Scott piss in his hear and eventualy Bronn turn on his dad.
"Gimme a Fuckin Mic" lol
We all know when Scott Steiner's in town, all my hoochies come around.
And all my freaks know….there’s nothin’ finer, than Scott Steiner
They say all men are created equal. Steiner math FTW!
The Midnight should have been in the HOF too.
Summerslam 93 I believe. Under rated match. Steiners vs Heavenly Bodies
That backflip body slam was amazing by Scott Steiner
The Steiners are one of the all-time great teams. This is well deserved. Plus, we get the bonus of Scott talking.
Wasn;t Scott's beef with Hogan part of the reason he was banned from the hof aswell?
@@ValiantWrestling but with Hogan himself getting banned, it probably eased the way for the Steiner Brothers to get inducted in the HOF
The Steiners are one of the greatest tag teams of all time. I’ll watch their matches all day long instead of watching the Cucamonga Kids and the other play wrestlers.
Scott Steiner isn't gonna do anything untoward at the ceremony...he's a "vessel of love"
I’m surprised that WWE acknowledged that Rick is Bron’s kid…
This was Vince throwing a bone to Rick for giving him Bron Breaker.
The Steiner Brothers being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame is a well deserved. Surprised Scott Steiner said yes and did his speech. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of the best tag teams of all time. Definitely deserve to be in the HoF, despite how Scotty might've felt at one point. Maybe he calmed down after starting up a business. He doesn't look as juiced up anymore and seems a lot more level headed in his post-wrestling interviews.
Love me some Steiners. Scott was on his best behavior last night, lol.
My fav tag team of all time! Well done you animals!
I met Scott Steiner this March at an autograph signing. He can be chill when he wants to be.
last month, right? or last year
@@leelohaskin7941 this year.
Scott "went crazy with the physique" aka more steroids 🤣
This is my favorite hall of fame class in a while and the steiners made it even better
The steiner bros were the 1st tag team i can remember from a kid. I especially remember the ear muffs lol
For the HoF, they should perform a skit where the Steiner Brothers try to get in, but Scott gets arrested and taken to jail, ala Goldberg in WCW. They can cut away at certain parts to where Scott is trying to explain to the cops he was invited lol
Scott promo gonna be epic
Definitely top 5 best tag teams of all time
IT'S A DAMN SHAME THAT THE CORNY AND THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS ARE NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME!!!!
Especially when Bobby Eaton was alive.
I always read that Scott said hall of fame is a complete fake joke and would never accept the invitation
Now we just need Demolition please.
"HE AIN'T GETTIN' UP FROM THIS ONE!! This is for *all* you guys!"
:hits Steiner Screwdriver:
"WHO THE FUCK IS BETTER'N ME?!?!"
Rick was always super over as a mid carder as a single. Even during late stage WCW he was the most over face mid carder on Nitro besides Rey Jr.
Rick was a good upper mid card wrestler while Scott was the heel Main Eventer.. Both did there things as single wrestlers..
Now days the marks would say he’s being wasted and should be world champion
@@SpaceGhost92 Why people call people Marks for have a different opinion??
Rick better come out wearing his Chain male to the HOF.
So this is a fine addition to the cold day in hell wing
Spectrum with the upload
Scott invented the 450 and the Frankensteiner
Maybe his version of Frankensteiner
I can’t wait for Steiner Math
My favorite tag team of all time 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾, they were INCREDIBLE as a team.
Steiner's vs Doom was my favorite angle when I was young.
Scott had beef with HHH & Stephanie & Hogan. Hopefully he remains calm, I think the WWE did this for Bron / Rick's son. But Steiners deserve it most definitely.
That promo scott gave on nitro after winning the wcw title was classic rick was great with the steinerline the barking crawling around im happy for this…but scott with a live mic lol
‘GIVE ME A FUCKING MIC’ - Oh, boy
I watched the Steiner Brothers when they were in WCW and remembered how intense their matches were but also how they told a story of a tag team wanting to get to the highest levels in the company only to get screwed by the heel team or the heel management. Watch some of their stuff with the four horsemen if you don't believe me!
@@HyperActive7 "DUBYA SEE DUBYA SUCKS!" -Scott Steiner
“And he makes the tag to his brother!”
(Crowd Roars)
“STEINER LINE!”
“STEINER LINE!”
And Another STEINER LINE!! - Jim Ross
On the post wrestlemania raw give Scott Steiner an open mic on raw to air his grievances with the industry and wrestling world
I got to meet the Steiners and get pics at a Smoky Mountain show. Was pretty cool.
I'm glad that the Steiners were inducted. Definitely deserved it. I will say I always preferred the late 1980s-early 1990s version. They looked strong as hell but they didn't look huge like Scott did from the late 1990's on. Like Jim was saying, they were probably the most versatile tag team in terms on wrestling style because they could do the power moves but also had the technical background as well, not to mention when Scott would do the Frankensteiner, it was incredible to see
When I was a kid I used to think the Steiner’s were boring but As I got older I’ve realized they are absolutely amazing.
This is a great honor for Rick and his brudder...
I started watching in 1991. so to me, they are the greatest tag team ever.
You notice on Nxt they mentioned Rex being son of Rick Steiner
