10 Intellectual Wrestling Gimmicks (With Varying Levels Of Success)
3. Scott Steiner
No, Big Poppa Pump never advertised himself under an intellectual gimmick. He never wore robes or toted around a chalkboard.
But no other wrestler in history ever used math in more a entertaining or devastating fashion than Steiner during an amazing promo in TNA in the run-up to Sacrifice 2008.
Steiner broke down his statistical chances to defeat Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe in a tag team match with Petey Williams, and along the way, he made every math teacher in the country weep whilst bending the English language in a Steiner Recliner until it nearly broke in two.
And arguably even funnier than the promo is the expression on Petey Williams' face as he tries to crunch the numbers alongside 'the Genetic Freak.'
