10 Fascinating WWE King Of The Ring 1994 Facts

10. The Steiner Brothers Left WWE Following The Qualifiers

Despite reigning as two-time WWE Tag Team Champions during their year-and-a-half with the promotion, it hardly feels as though Rick and Scott Steiner were even a part of the company, given that they were bigger stars in WCW and New Japan. Throughout 1993, the siblings were indeed highly visible on WWE programming, but by early 1994, their wattage had begun to fade.

The Steiners grumbled about wanting to work in Japan in conjunction with WWE, something Vince McMahon forbade, so long as they worked for him. After a European tour in February 1994, Rick and Scott vanished from WWE cards, not even appearing at WrestleMania.

They resurfaced in April of that year for three days of TV tapings, culminating with Scott Steiner losing a King of the Ring qualifier to Irwin R. Schyster in a match taped April 13 (aired May 7). After that match, the Michigan-born brothers left the promotion.
