10 Most INSANE Things Wrestling Companies Did For The Money
9. Rick Steiner Feuds With Chucky
The 12 October 1998 episode of WCW's Monday Nitro will forever go down in history as the night tough guy pro wrestler Rick Steiner threatened to beat Chucky the doll's lil' horror movie ass. Bonus points go to absolute pro 'Mean' Gene Okerlund for acting like Rick vs. Chuck might be Halloween Havoc's next main event.
His facial expressions were on point.
Anyone who thinks Vince Russo produced the worst WCW content ever needs to fire up WWE Network/Peacock and relive this awkward moment. Chucky's banter (he was there to promote upcoming movie Bride Of Chucky) was pre-taped for the big screens, so Steiner and Gene had to time their responses as Rick probs weighed up a steel cage challenge for the next pay-per-view.
It would not have been outlandish for WCW to attempt some sort of match between the pair, being honest. In fact, it's a bit of a surprise they didn't have someone in a Chucky outfit take some Steinerlines or suplexes on TV.
