15 Reasons Why Scott Steiner Is The Original Beast Of Wrestling

2. Original Mayor Of Suplex City

Long before Brock Lesnar famously welcomed Roman Reigns to Suplex City in the main event of WrestleMania 31, Scott Steiner was giving out guided tours free of charge to unlucky foes across the world.

While there have been many experts in the field of Suplexology over the years, Steiner’s penchant for the classic wrestling throw could rival anyone of those that followed; from Taz and Chris Benoit to Kurt Angle and even Lesnar himself. If Dean Malenko was “The Man of a Thousand Holds”, then Scott Steiner could quite believably be known as “The Man of a Thousand Throws”.

Perhaps best known for his spinning Belly to Belly suplex (which would become a staple of the Steiner moveset), the catalogue of suplex variations perfected by Scott Steiner is a lengthy list indeed. From Belly to Backs and the Northern Lights to T-Bones and Double Underhooks, Steiner not only knew how to do perform each nuance of the move but could do so with such ferocity that he made it look easy. If Steiner got a hold of you, he could throw you wherever he wanted, however he wanted to do it.

Simply put, Suplex City may be run by Brock Lesnar in 2016 but there’s no question over who the founder is.
