10 WWE Legends Who Ruled Suplex City Before Brock Lesnar

7. Scott Steiner

Despite gaining a lot of bulk by the turn of the century, Scott Steiner has made a career out of throwing some of the most perfect and impressive Suplexes ever seen in wrestling. The man had amateur experience, which gave him technical precision, and incredible strength, which gave him the ability to lift almost anyone with little difficulty, including the Big Show/the Giant, of all people. During his early career, Steiner used a wide variety of Suplex variations, including the Northern Lights and Dragon variations, the latter of which requires incredible skill and precision to ensure that you don€™t break your opponent€™s neck. But throughout the majority of his career, Steiner used Exploder, Double Underhook and Belly-to-Belly variations, and despite criticism over his growing frame, he still executed moves perfectly on almost every occasion. Steiner is an incredibly accomplished wrestler, having won major championships in Mexico, Japan, the United States, and Europe. Considering that each one of those regions has different styles of wrestling and expectations of athletes, that says a lot about Steiner€™s ability to adapt and pull off the moves he needs to pull off to get the fans invested in him. Or, more likely, they just love to watch him execute a Suplex with the grace and power of a true wrestling veteran.
