Ranking What Was Really The Best Wrestling Entrance Every Year 1990-2021

22. 2000 - Scott Steiner, WCW Nitro, October 23, 2000

2000 WCW was the drizzling sh*ts - to such a definitive extent that every bad wrestling product since has been compared to the stench to determine just how truly foul it is.

If it somehow permeates the air with a compacted and dead - but also steaming quality, for how quickly it was evacuated - then yes, it is worthy of the comparison.

But Scott Steiner's October 23, 2000 entrance was simply too awesome not to recognise because he walked, with an absolute marvellous lack of necessity, with a tiger. This wasn't a pay-per-view. This wasn't a big, title-winning night. It was just an episode of Nitro.

The omni-f*cked stupidity of WCW was often very, very amusing, and this was that. Scott Steiner with a tiger was the most badass version of excess.
