Wrestler Wisdom Fridays #11

 

 

Each week, the ISB endeavors to enlighten our readers by offering the unedited words of the Warrior Scholars of the squared circle, for who among us cannot benefit from the wisdom of Macho Madness, Hulkamania, or the American Dream? The instruction we offer should be considered carefully, meditated on, and applied to one’s own life for the enrichment of the self and others.

  1. Oh man.

    Good call Chris.

    Scott Steiner went from being flat-out the best tag-team wrestler on the planet (circa his feuds with DiBiase/IRS and the Quebeckers) to being one of the worst in such a short time period and yet while his wrestling ability was degrading his entertainment value as a human car-wreck went up exponentially.

  2. His mouth is still mobile Dann. I think Chris saw this on a Botchmania compilation which should tell you everything that you want to know.

    On the plus side, when they finally green-light that big budget Legion of Substitute Heroes film, I know exactly who to cast as Stone Boy.

  3. Steiner was awesome, then unbelievably crappy, and then when he found a new home in TNA became a walking train wreck of awesome and promos. Better than he had been in years, his contribution to the Main Event Mafia was textbook Steiner, I miss him now.

    This was an awesome promo, good call Mr Sims

  4. So basically, you’re telling me the one with hood ornaments on his shoulders, and barked at everybody was the sane brother?

  5. “Firing Steiner was the biggest mistake of the Hogan Era in TNA.”

    Biggest is a pretty heft claim. I mean TNA has made soooooo many since trying to become Monday Night Wars-era WCW…

  6. I’ll be damned – all this time I thought Steiner was a wrestler, when IN FACT he was the architect of the whole sub-prime mortgage / Global Financial Crisis debacle.

  7. Pat: Scary thought, ain’t it?

    I’m pretty much with the crowd here when it comes to Scott Steiner. The dude wrestles like a brick these days, but he’s damn entertaining.

  8. In the (other) words of Scott Steiner: YOU DON’T KNOW ME AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M CAPABLE OF. HUH? YOU WANNA SUCK MY DICK?

    There truly is nothing finer than Scott Steiner.

  9. BringTheNoise – you’re right, I should’ve said “… thought Steiner was ONLY a wrestler, when IN FACT he was also the architect…”. It would take some of the sting out of the GFC to know that the man (or men) responsible strutted around with their own theme music playing, and that there was an even-odds chance that they may wear a chair to the back of the melon on any given day.

  10. I’m only surprised that he didn’t call Samoa Joe a “fat piece of crap” in there somewhere. He worked that into almost every Joe-related promo.

  11. I would always freak out at Scott Steiner’s weird tiny muscle thing he had.
