10 Failed Attempts To Recreate Great Wrestling Stables

Originating in Jim Crockett Promotions as the triumvirate of Rick Steiner, Mike Rotunda and Kevin Sullivan; the Varsity Club were three braggadocios heels, crowing over their wrestling superiority.

Unlike most wrestling gimmicks, the Varsity Club's claims were not even unfounded, as both Steiner and Rotunda were amateur wrestling standouts and would wear the Letterman jackets of their alma matter to the ring.

While Steiner was soon replaced by another All-American wrestler, Steve Williams, the new version of the Club would become its most successful incarnation, with all members capturing NWA gold in 1989.

After Williams and Rotunda dropped the NWA Tag Team Titles back to the Road Warriors in late 1989, however, the club faded away.

Steve Williams would go on to form a legendary tag-team with Terry Gordy and himself capture the AJPW Triple Crown title.

Rick Steiner would join his brother Scott in forming one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history
