SummerSlam 1993 emanated from The Palace in Auburn Hills, MI, the home state of then-World Tag Team Champions Rick and Scott Steiner. Their match with Jim Cornette's Heavenly Bodies was a fast-paced collection of dazzling spots, with the Steiners coming out on top (long before someone in WWE decided that every wrestler should lose in their hometown or state).

Prior to the match, Todd Pettengill interviewed the Steiners' mother and sister at ringside, and what an interview it was. The real comedy was Mama Steiner acting like she wanted nothing to do with Pettengill ("Yes, whatever you say."), but their sister Crystal had herself a charming little goof, accidentally referring brother Rick as "Rob".

Well, she wasn't wrong: his real name is Robert Rechsteiner, after all. Really, though, can you blame a woman for calling her brother by the real name she's known her whole life?
