The steiners was my favorite tag team oh and so was LOD
Dude w the dreadlocks is right. Scott is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time, if not THE most underrated. Under-appreciated too. To this day, IDK how any American wrestling fan can call a Frankensteiner a hurricanrana. No goddamnit, it’s a FRANKENSTEINER!
There's a difference tho, a Frankensteiner makes you land on your head, a hurricana is supposed to so to speak send you flying Usually landing on your back
You ever seen the Steiner Screwdriver? That was fučkeñ insane
mrcalderon93 yeah I have, and yeah it is!
Steiner recliner
@TheShowman EddieBowman Still better than Cena, Batista, Orton, HHH, etc.
Scott Steiner is awesome. One of, if not THE best look in professional wrestling history. I remember as a 12 year old watching him in 1998 on Nitro and thinking a human being just couldn't look like that. Incredible ring and promo skills at his peak, and he did the one thing all professional wrestlers needed to do; be believable to the point you think elements of his character/story/feud were real. As a whole package he is in my Top 10 of all time.
Ummmm he stole the look from Superstar and Ventura.
2 different looks, 2 different characters, 2 different movesets, and all are unforgettably badass!
And that Frankensteiner was original his suplexes is the greatest.
His best wrestling moves sets was before his Pig Poppa Pump gimmick
@@kingofkings69nerjr90 100% agree with that,by the late 90's early 00's Scott was partly washed up and jacked up to his eyeballs.but in his heyday,he was awesome.
People have called Steiner a lot of things, but nobody's ever called him a liar.
Sid always throwing shade on Scott in every interview.
He is butt hurt scotty stepped on his broken leg and i think sid was legit scared of him
As a fan my experience was cool, i forgot how but we knew he was in a limo after a show with WWE in Boston (2003). We saw him on the highway and we where leaning out screaming lol guy driving stayed close. Then he rolled down the window real quick and gave us like the peace sign. We where like wow most would never do that. We talked about that for years..
Being from Detroit, it just disgusts me all the haters who bomb on Scott Steiner. He’s a Michigan man, and that says enough! He’s a WWE Hall of Famer, Legend and World Heavyweight Champion. Give that dude his due!
I remember seeing Scott very early in his career when he came to WCW and was not the star that Rick was. I think he was roughly 235 lbs - a terrific athlete as well as a surprisingly good technician - couldn't help but see this young guy had GREAT potential - even before they pushed him. Honestly, I think he would have been even more successful if he hadn't gone so all in on getting bigger - because he was such a good athlete - and had a great look the way he was. So good to hear the positives about him - particularly how he's been helping young wrestlers in recent years and his nice interactions with kids at the arenas.
Yea when he tagged with Rick he wasn't as big and he didn't hardly do much promos at all. Big poppa pump was alot better I thought then Steiner with the mullet and letterman jackets lol
He roided up to compensate his injuries and changed his look and focus on his promo to compensate his lack of movements due to his injuries.His hard hitting and athletic style will take a toll eventually
Sid saying Scott wasnt a great wrester is peak projection.
I'm surprised no one mentioned that Scott Steiner attended a "highly educated university".
He would have to dumb himself down
That is also known to have tremendously low academic standards for its athletes.
Lol a highly educated university? Where was said university educated?
@@joshjones8411 In legendary RAW debates between Scott Steiner and Christopher Nowinski.
@@joshjones8411 highly educatedville
As much as I like The Road Warriors, The Steiner Brothers would wrap them up like a pretzel
@@dwade6322 Was talikg about the Road Warriors, However Scott would have pinned Ron,
Not in a real Street fight they wouldn't
I'd say easily, it would be like Brock vs Batista in a shoot. Sure they're both muscled up but one guy moves like he's 100lb lighter than he is.
The Steiner's had plenty of chances and the Road Warriors buried those two morons.
@@TheRydog61Well yeah if whoever was promoter of that match like Vice or Jim Crockett wanted Rick or Scott to pin Ron Simmons then yeah The Steiner's would have pinned him . However in a real fight thing would probably be a lot different
Scott Steiner is and always will forever be my favorite super star of all time in the wrestling business. I've idolized that man since I first started watching wrestling as a kid back in the early 90's. He truly is a legend and should be in every HOF out there whether he wants to be or no one else wants him to be, he HAS to be lol. I don't think anyone could ever argue that he isn't deserving of it when you go back and look at all of his accomplishments. He was the definition of "Beastmode" before that was even thought of, no doubt 🤘
Facts!
Alot of people forget how great of an athlete Scott was
Yeah, He did invent the 'Frankensteiner' & did it regularly. Seeing 170-190 Mexican wrestlers do it is one thing but Steiner was about 240 lbs doing it & not from the top rope either.
Before big poppa pump, Scott was an amazing athlete.
@@FilthyAngryIrishPeasant Not only that he didn't need use the top rope, but he didn't wait a split second when he backflipped himself during his move. Scott is the only guy I've ever seen that hits the Frankensteiner/Hurricanrana faster than anyone else.
Scott Steiner had incredible tallent agility and strength in his early career, when he bulked up he lost much of that agility but he was still amazing.
But he was also older
Scott was mid 30s during big poppa pimp era.
I think he had a lot of injuries that were already hindering his old style, so he had to evolve with it. He found a style where he didn't need to rely on his old style of wrestling.
Big Poppa Pump inspired my look as a young man in the early 2000s. Bleached my hair, worked out, talked loud and obnoxious. He's a legend, he was a great wrestler in his early years and a great promo cutter in the later years.
Wow! That sounds REALLY pathetic. 😄
@@zemaryan3446 You feel better about yourself now? That’s some big beta energy you got there.
Buff Bagwell was *HAMMERED* during his shoot
🤣🤣🤣
giant clown
@wolf7
I realize you commented a year ago - but I was looking for a comment like yours to kinda validate what I was thinking about Bagwell. He definitely seemed under the influence of something. And if he was stone sober then that guy needs to get a CTE exam.
I dont get why these guys do interviews hammered? Like can't you wait to get wasted after so you don't look like a fool?? Maybe it's on purpose a cry for help
@@BigBoss-zi5ss He's an addict.
"Scott Steiner is a tremendous talent"
A simple truth, too often overlooked because of his larger than life personality.
Ive got great memories of scotty as big poppa pump in the wwe. I also love the promos he cut with the freaks in wcw. 'the big bad booty daddy'
10:13 that's what every professional boxer says when they face an MMA fighter, but it never happens. Steiners would ragdoll 99.9% of all wrestlers.
10:07 Absolute Pure Gold by Animal.
Scott & his bro got big reaction from the fans as they made their way to the ring !!!
Fans loved these guys.
They knew the bad guys who destroyed other tag teams were going to meet their match & more.
Exciting & high energy...
Only Jesus can tame Scott Steiner. ( but that's another story )
SSD, Frankensteiner, moonsault slam, double underhook powerbomb and the Steiner Recliner. Anybody saying he could not wrestle did not see early version of Big Poppa Pump. Also, he was a collegiate wrestler. Later in his career, his Steiner Math helped him smarten up and realize he didn’t have to break his back. Wish WWF could’ve pushed him more.
Triple H wasn't about to let that happen.
@@tommyhowell6955 triple h dicked booker, and sting as well. You right though.
But Scott was in his mid 30s when he started the big poppa pump era. What did people expect
@@clintsaines9274 would’ve been cool if later in career, he was to mix his finishes. Like the DDP diamond cutter out no where, but any of those known Scott Steiner moves can finish a opponent flat with a different finisher. His moves had pretty good emphasis that sold that the opponent is OUT!! I totally understand that age will limit certain movements so gotta minimize damage so Father Time doesn’t ask for interest after retiring. I can always play video games to fantasize about those different move set of Big Poppa Pump😂😂😂
Buff Bagwells mom just called and told us to lay off the negative comments on Buff.
Judy. Can you imagine being that much of a mama's boy!?
@@bshaun I can't, especially in an industry built on testosterone....
Did she make the call from the top of a forklift?
The Big Bad Booty Daddy should be in the WWE Hall Of Fame with Rick Steiner as the Steiner Brothers
Animal and Sid did a remarkable job here, especially Animal. superstar as well. always liked the steiners and will Never forget Scott's shoot on flair, that was hilarious.the steiners were not two people you wanted to piss off.
And to all the freaks:. Big Poppa's got your hook up; holla if ya hear me.
Ayo
Scoot Steiner was a beast!!! Steiner Brothers to this day my favourite tag team and brother tag team as well with Harlem Heat a close second. Now let me drop a jewell for those not knowing... He invented the Frankensteiner, which peeps call a hurricanranna. The Scorpio splash was done by "Scotty" first in Memphis. Though 2Cold revolutionized it. Which is now referred as a 450 splash. Last but not least the fallaway slam is a variation of a move Steiner done in Memphis and early NWA days. It was a back flipping fallaway. He done it on small as well as large figures in wresting. So the fallaway slam and Spanish fly are variations of that move as well. Underrated and NEVER duplicated. I feel, Steiner gets a bad rap because he took no shxt from anyone. Especially the infamous and famous politics in the back from those who were know for there screwy antics.
What is Syd Vicious talking about. Scott Steiner was a good collegiate wrestler. The Steiners are top 5 all time, they drew money, they even wrestled in Japan. You can say u dislike someone, but dont try to change history
Yeah, I agree. It sounded more personal to me and I can understand from what I have heard about Scott being difficult when working with some people that he probably doesn't like the guy. But to knock his ring work and drawing power is ridiculous . Syd is probably a cooler guy to meet in person than Scott, but he shouldn't let his personal feelings reflect on Scott as a performer.
Scott was great with Ric but he got too big and wasn't great solo. I think that's what sid was referring to Scott being solo
I don't think I've ever seen a interview where Buff wasn't pilled up.
He needs DDP
He seems like he's been messed up since he had that wreck years ago
Yeah he needs to sober up he's always fucked up drunk n pilled up
Douche Bagwell
Dude is in real bad shape.
A vast majority of UFC Champions had an Amateur Wrestling background.
Yeah he obviously has no idea what he’s talking about lol it’s almost like he tried to insinuate that champs who aren’t wrestlers are “street fighters”, it’s another case of old school wrestlers believing their craft too much, you aren’t a real fighter even though you play a badass on television.
@@Hopper12 Yeah, saw this part by Animal and I'm like, "What." I immediately skipped ahead.
Animal and Hawk were great, but Animal has no fucking clue what he's talking about when it comes to competitive wrestling.
Scottie or Rick would surprise the shit out of him. He'd be on his back eating punches much faster than he could react. lmao.
The Steiners would murder the Road Warriors in a shoot
Please that amateurs wrestling crap ain't gonna do nothing against Two Street Fighters like the Road Warriors . There best hope would be for Hawk to be High that's the only way The Steiners would win a shoot fight with Hawk and Animal . Not that I have anything against the Steiners they were a good Tag Team
@@robertrodriguez787 just the fact that he said he punch him before he got the takedown shows he's a garbage shoot fighter
@@robertrodriguez787Whosto say that Rick or Scott COULDNT throw punches as well though? Almost world class amateur wrestlers, by far better athletes than the Road Warriors ever were, I think its pure supposition on your part that the Steiners couldnt fight AND wrestle pretty well.
I believe Scott Steiner promos back then and I believe his promos even now
Did Scott Steiner and The Godfather ever cross paths in WWE? it would have been great. i liked Scott's bodybuilding posing when he fued with HHH 😍
Probably when Godfather was Kama or Papa Shango.
I was once informed that there's nothing finer than Scott Steiner.
I love the scott steiner stories 💪
Always been a fan of his
Sid saying Scott can’t wrestle? And never drew? Lol wow.. The guy could do a standing hurricanranna
Moonsault fall away slam! Steiner Screwdriver. He had 1 of the sickest movesets back in the day!
@@bshaun scott invented that shit. its called the frankensteiner. back in the day he would legitimately fight you for calling it a hurricanranna. or at least slap the shit out of you lol.
@@bshaun and he was awesome on the mic
That Scott Steiner was great. When he got roided to the gills he lost a lot of his mobility and couldn't do a lot of the stuff he had done in the past.
Glad to see the love for Scott is alive, he deserves it
The Steiners and Rotunda were the real legit shoot wrestlers in WCW/WWF. Guys tended to be wary of Scott in particular. Bret in his book talks about how the Steiners were like "amiable gorillas" who could also be real bullies to the guys with lesser skills. And that if Scott wanted to, he could wrap someone up and do whatever he wanted to them. Bischoff recounts once walking in on Scott literally sodomizing someone with a pen. Rotunda could also tie people into pretzels if he wanted to but has been universally praised as one of the nicest guys in the business. But, one only need look up his match with Death Row to see how easily he could impose his will on someone.
I love me sum big poppa pump stories
Sid couldn't tell it any better, honest and straight forward guy
You’re joking right..?
Scott jumped off top ropes many times & never shattered his leg off top rope & he invented many moves 450 splash backwards moonsault, frakensteiner! Sid & jose say your jealous without directly saying your jealous lmao😂😂!
Scott and Rick were awesome. Mixed amateur techniques with flashy pro wrestling techniques masterfully. Best tag team in my eyes no doubt. Wrestlemania 9 thr Samson swat team [ I think? ] had rick sitting in their shoulders like a doomsday device the other one jumped off the top like a cross body and rick reversed into a powerslam off the guys shoulders that was so awesome. And Scott with his frankensteiners, steiner screwdrivers and his Insane physique. They fuckin Rule!
Sid said Jerry Tuite was a strange name, while his name is Sid Eudy! 😄
Sid visusious is wrong Scott and Rick were excellent wrestlers!!!! Scott got too big and couldn't do what he use too, but tagging with Rick earley in his career they was on top of wrestling!!!!
No doubt! 💯💯💯💯
@Kerry Howard oh hell yeah!!! 💯
Sid " Scott was never a great wrestler" I love Sid but thats a joke lol... Scott was great especially in his youth... Sid not so much but god damn he looked the part.
I laughed out loud so hard when he said that Like seriously sid 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Jumbo Incredible me too. The way he subtly shit on Steiner before he gets into the story was hilarious.
Same, Sid is just a old salty bastard!
Anything Sid has to do with a microphone comes outta hiss ass. Scott's not a good wrestler is just like Sid is better than Flair at promo's
Yeah I don't agree, Steiner was a good wrestler especially in his younger days with his brother. It seems like when he went solo he struggled a little bit, dunno if it was lack of confidence or some personal problems or whatever. But I think Sid may be talking about him not being a good wrestler from the standpoint of fellow wrestlers, like being stiff and hard to talk to, map out matches, and work with in general. That's just speculation from stuff that I've read but again, I dunno.
I love Animal, but oh if only I had a nickel for every “street fighter” who thought they could beat a trained collegiate or skilled amateur wrestle lol.
Always the same “nO rEf oN tHe StReEtS and talk about the mythical dirty street fighting tactics. Like a trained fighter wouldn’t literally do the same thing lol
Even if they’re tough, athletic, etc-they’re losing 99.99% of the time. And anyone who’s seen or been in a fight as or with someone trained knows this.
Especially prime Steiner, who has submission and catch as catch can knowledge on top of being a great wrestler.
Everyone thinks they’re just gonna step out and punch a wrestler when they get shot on, until they’re on their back getting daddied or pummeled lol.
I love sid but that was dumbest shit I've ever heard him say. Scott was an incredible wrestler and he's beloved.
Around the late 90s After Scott Steiner joined the NWO he wasn't scary good at the time he was just scary. He was the type of person who you wouldn't want to be on their bad side cause he won't let up until you finally decide to quit making your whole time there a living hell, & if you have to work with him say your prayers 🙏 & hope your luck hasn't ran out cause you're gonna need a miracle to make it through the match unscathed.
I understood a whole five words Buff Bagwell said
Bagwell looks and sounds like R. Lee Ermey here for some reason
Dentures maybe
@@ramseyj79 Did Lee wear dentures? I think a lot of it has to do with the accent but Bagwell's from Georgia and Ermey was from Kansas so it's odd that they would sound similar
holy shit I've never seen honkey speak so highly of a fellow wrestler in a shoot interview.
Scott Steiner is so great. He is the actual only reason I watch Impact wrestling
Now?? Why?? Scott Steiner has been washed up for at least 10 years!
Hes always been a copycat of jesse Ventura. Too much steroids for too long ruined Steiner.
I busted out laughing when Sid said Scott couldn't work . Did he completely lose his mind when he broke his leg ? He must have done this interview in between softball games .
Sid, of all people, says that Scott wasn't a great wrestler?? He was a fantastic wrestler early in his career. At any point in Scott's career, he looked like Kurt Angle next to Sid.
Scott Steiner was an awesome wrestler.....Why some say he wasn't I just laugh....He was a power wrestler not a technical wrestler...A division 1 all American and my greatest wrestler alltime .....Dude was a legend ....Animal brings up the Great American Bash....I lived in Baltimore at that time and went to the 88,89 and 90 as a kid with with 88 def being my favorite as it was the first ever time for The Tower of Doom was built....3 Cages on top of another and the Road Warriors were in that match ...EPIC!
Bagwell sounds like he smokes a pack a day
And took a massive Valium as well...
There are intense guys out there but you don’t hear about them, but give him muscle and fame and you’ll hear a lot of stories about them.
Thanks Hannibal🙏@bigdaddyGOC🔥
Nothing finer than *Scott Steiner*
The Steiners were the best tag team of all times, bar to none. Only the Road Warriors are in their league.
You forgot Hardy Boyz and Harlem hear. I'm talking all around legit tag teams
The Rockers. Legion of Doom.... Sit down please, I could go on....
Zylo nope, Demolition and Hart Foundation, formidable as they were, are not in the Steiners’ or the Road Warriors’ league. WWE tag teams are a tier beneath NWA’s. As for The Rockers, when they were The Midnight Rockers they were awesome, but once in the WWF they became mid-card talent, unfortunately
Justin Sharpe not really. Both were fantastic, but not better then the Midnight Express, Demolition, the Freebirds, Bulldogs.
@@B_Chasnika not really. Both were fantastic, but not better then the Midnight Express, Demolition, the Freebirds, Bulldogs
Sid Vicious or Chuck Connors? YOU make the call.
Scott Steiner would have supplexed sid vicious till he couldn't walk. Loll
Steiner was boring
Sid-"Scott was never a great wrestler."
First of all, wrong. Second, the irony coming from Sid.
lol Sid said he has half the brain of Kevin Nash 🤣and I'de say about half the wrestling skill/agility of Prime Scott Steiner.
Jay and Mark, The Briscoes, are the most exciting modern team to watch.
Facts bro been watching them since 2001 in czw
Rip Briscoes but nowhere near the steiner's level!
Top tag teams:
Road Warriors
Steiner Bros
Briscoe Brothers
Rock n Roll Express
Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda
@Rj Boss you are totally right British are on the list, left them off accidentally. They definitely are one of the greatest all time
Windham and Rotunda...that's got to be around 1985 or 1986. Good call! I never hear anyone mention when they were a team back in WWF.
Lenny and Lodi
Harlem Heat?
I brought a ppv bc of Scott Steiner never bc of Sid tho I like him
Sid should never have been allowed to leave his feet.
I'd totally rock that Quebecers shirt PCO is wearing.
Did Jacques Rugeau ever consider the reason why all these wrestlers were dicks to him, Was because of his personality?
He does seem to be the victim of virtually every wrestler ever, and his proudest moment in the business is grabbing a roll of quarters and sucker punching dynamite.
True lol
I recall Cornette claiming that he was claiming that he was one of the best natural heels. All Jacques allegedly had to do was be himself.
I didn't understand half of what buff was saying?!?
You mean MAJORITY of what he was saying...
I call bullshit on the Jacques story. That coward didn't throw anything at Robbie Steiner
Conor McGregor is one of the most accurate strikers/kickers in UFC history......yet Khabib beat the pulp out of him using his wrestling. Sorry Road Warrior Animal.....but the Steiners would take you down unless you land a lucky punch or kick, and even then you better hit hard enough to stop them with one shot......or it's game over for you.
Khabib is best grappler in mma also conor beat chad mendes (ncaa wrestler)
The road warriors were enforcers before wrestling. Even modern day UFC has a ton of rules that don't apply to real fights.
You always put out great videos good stuff
Dallas beating up Scott Stiener? nah dude is a real wrestler
Great video thank's 👍👍
I loved the Steiner Brothers but a lot of wrestlers said they were hard to work with and didn't want to put anyone over.
This video changed my mind about Steiner. I thought his mic skills were subpar and his Big Poppa Pump character was a copy of Buff Bagwell’s persona...but he was a professional.
Sid heard DDP bt Steiner up backstage!!pmsl. Ok Sid,every version I heard Steiner absolutely Destroyed Dallas.
He was far better than Psycho Syd. Shouldn't expect much brains from a dude who said, "...and you and I know, I have half the brains that you do!"
Scott when he came as Poppa Pump ,it defently must see tv,FACTS
I like ddp but i can guarantee you this on his best day he never EVER beat Scott's ass! Goldberg has even said he had nothing for Scott Steiner!
Sorry Animal, but the vast majority of UFC Champions are wrestlers
yeah, I love the Road warriors but Animal is pretty fucking clueless.
His comment is laughable cause the wrestlers always have major success in the UFC. Animal is completely lost. The Steiners were an awesome tag team and beyond the best tag teams to ever do it. I even enjoyed when the brothers went solo but i would not watch one match of the Road Warriors as single wrestlers.
flair should have gave that belt to the master of the Steiner recliner...flabby 50 flair or 33 year old poppa pump..
Flair was putting people in them seats while Scott was a still having wet dreams about his high school crush . Scott wasn't a Main Eventer till 1999 and 2000 by then WCW was already folding
Scott need a single in hall of fame
That transition at 14:55 tho 😂😂😂
Thats the only reason I watched wrestling to see Scott Steiner
Animal is fucking delusional if he thinks he could have ever stopped Scott Steiner from shooting a takedown on him, let alone beating him in a fight.
Scott Steiner was Bad Ass! Helluva' wrestler in my opinion. Especially in his early days before he became "Big Poppa Pump. He had ALOT of good moves in his arsenal, especially that damn tiger bomb(double underhook powerbomb) and the Steiner Screwdriver! That move was bad asf!
Markus, it looks like you've had the stuff kicked out of you. Get well soon, heel up.
Just the fact Scott praised Jim Herd as a promoter gotta question his sanity!!
Lmao everyone said Sid sucked to work with
I think Scott Steiner was more happier in WCW even though a lot of stuff going on there than he was in WWE
As much as I like Sid............
Steiner wasn’t a good wrestler?
Lol. Sid had 3 moves. In his prime ,Scott had about 70. Plus he was a collegiate pillar. Now Scott wasn’t necessarily the sharpest marble, but that’s another story. Lol
With his math skills he should change his name to Einsteiner. What do you mean he's not smart😂
Sid saying Scott was never a great wrestler ... lol
Sid says Scott wasn't a good wrestler lol. He might have been a dick later in his career, but he was a great worker in the early days.
PCO...looks like a guy that could kick ass in a "real" fight.
Did Pierre really say the Steiners left WWF cos they didn't wanna put them over? What a fucking mark lol
these losers who knock him are marks. BPP was never a mark and he will never be one either. Legend come to mind as a performer. The only reason he didn’t last in WWE, jealousy by HHH. That’s what it come down too
It's the kind of situation where you just have to meet the man, don't judge by other guys talking shit. The genetic freak is a brother 4life💪🤌
Scott Steiner always looked legit. Could've been a bigger star if it wasn't for backstage politics in WCW and several serious injuries. You could believe this guy was crazy and alpha. Modern wrestling may be more athletic and acrobatic but it looks choreographed and phony, finishers used to finish a match now they're just regular spots. Everyone knows it's fake, but guys don't even try to make it seem like they legit hate each other. Wrestlers today are more worried about their moves than promos and character, how many moves did Stone Cold or The Rock do? Look at the amount of ticket sales, merch sales and ratings they drew. To me WWE went to shit when they started catering to the vocal minority that just wants their Indy darling to be pushed. Don't get me wrong one of my favorite wrestlers is AJ Styles especially his 2004-2008 TNA years, he does high flying moves but it's believable and doesn't look fake. He has a nice build for a smaller guy. Today everyone looks the same, how can a guy become a star and stand out today when everyone looks the same. Wrestling was better when guys became wrestlers to make money and not fan boys and marks that wanted be wrestlers. I stopped watching WWE regularly in 2006, the babyfaces are booked liked heels and the heels are booked like chicken shit cowards. With the cancel culture and soy boys being easily offended by everything and someone else's problems WWE could become white hot if they had Heels offending today's culture. I'm surprised nobody pulled a Trump Supporter gimmick to become the biggest heel in the business like Colby Covington did in the UFC. At the end of the day, it's a business to draw money and not impress Dave Meltzer and try to get a 5 star match.
About your Trump supporter gimmick idea...plenty of different incarnations of this in the past that were ahead of it's time. Kerwin White was a gimmick Chavo did where he denounced his Latino Hispanic heritage and embraced himself as a golf-playing buggy driving middle class white American, his slogan was very controversial 'I'm Kerwin White and remember, if it's not white, then it's not right!'
Leaping Lanny seems to have a bit of a crush on big papa pump hahaha
He knows both brothers from the territory days.
