Curse the WWF for never making Rick and Scott Steiner as happy as they had been in the NWA/WCW after a contractual dispute with Bill Watts caused them to flee Atlanta for New York in 1992. After trading WCW for the WWF, The Steiner Brothers should have become the team of the 1990s under Vince McMahon's watchful eye.

Instead, the flashy style of The Steiners would only last a few short years in the WWF before they headed back to WCW in 1994. It all started so well at the 1993 Royal Rumble too, with a match that must be considered one of the show's most under-rated.

Blasting The Beverly Brothers with an array of suplexes and other power moves, the siblings looked like they were on course to dominate the WWF. In terms of a pay-per-view debut performance, this was one of the best in tag-team history.
