10 Stiffest WWE Wrestlers Ever

2. Steiner Brothers

You can't talk about head drops without mentioning the Steiner Brothers, who looked like they were working so recklessly in their younger years that it's a miracle there aren't more stories about them legitimately hurting opponents.

Scott and Rick were dumb jock brutes. That was their character, and they played it up by throwing opponents around as if they were weightless, showing no mind for how they landed, or on what body part. Their suplexes were deadly. You could tuck your head, but the force with which the Steiners launched you often meant it barely mattered. The punishment was real. That the duo celebrated each bomb like they'd just won the lottery only made their meathead energy more infectious - and more fun to watch.

Naturally, the bulk of the Steiners' stiffest work took place in Japan, where their bumbling American chaos was a perfect fit for opponents like Hiroshi Hase and Keiji Mutoh. Regardless, their most infamous match went down at WCW WrestleWar 1992, when they destroyed Tatsumi Fujinami and New Japan young boy Takayuki Iizuka, to the extent that the up-and-comer must have been left questioning his decision to enter the business in the first place.
