10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week

10. Jim Duggan Warned Steiner Brothers Not To Stiff Him

Nobody would ever accuse 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan of being a technical master between the ropes. Inside the ring, Duggan favoured a smash mouth style that perfectly suited his energetic character. Amidst cries of 'U.S.A' and 'Hoooo!', Hacksaw performed punches, kicks, slams and clothesline aplenty. It'd be understandable to think that he was relatively stiff during matches, because of his brawling style. Apparently, things couldn't be further from the truth, and Jim Duggan has always taken pride at how gentle he is with opponents. Whilst still making things look hard-hitting, the wrestler injured very few, and he didn't take kindly to those that took liberties with others. This led to a confrontation between Duggan and The Steiner Brothers. Jim felt that both Rick and Scott were literally hurting their peers during their short stay in the then-WWF during the early-90's. Approaching them backstage, Duggan warned the siblings not to do the same to him, otherwise there would be trouble. It's surprising this never turned into a fight.
