8 Unfairly Maligned Wrestlers From The Monday Night Wars

Seriously, is there a better way to pass the time than watching a Steiner Brothers squash match? Scott and his brother Rick would absolutely maul the local talent drafted in to put them over, with the one-two punch of the Frankensteiner and Steiner Device often making it look like serious damage had been inflicted on their poor adversaries. In a list of greatest squash match workers, the Steiners are undoubted candidates for the top spot.

Along with their ability to mix it up with some of the larger tag teams of the early to mid-nineties, including the Nasty Boys, Doom, and the Miracle Violence Connection, the Steiners were one of the more entertaining tag acts of the decade. While both men pulled their weight, Scott was undoubtedly the star, so it was no surprise he received a gradual elevation to the main event scene at the conclusion of the decade.

However, this was fraught with issues, from poor booking to underwhelming performances and downright bad timing. The shift in perception among wrestling fans that having a large physique equaled being a bad worker and the fact his most prominent run came when the majority had tuned out of WCW didn't help either.

His reputation further soured when he joined WWE after the Monday Night Wars, where he had a disastrous feud with Triple H in 2003, which included two of the worst World Heavyweight Championship matches in company history at Royal Rumble and No Way Out respectively.
