The Steiner Brothers

It is interesting the things that WWE chooses not to promote as influential or game changing, one instance that comes to mind is Wrestlemana 12, The Hollywood Backlot Brawl with Roddy Piper and Goldust. We had never seen anything remotely that controversial on WWE before, still to this day a disturbing stiff confrontation and one of the most memorable Wrestlemania moments of all time.

Another example of this is the lack of respect and homage shown to the Steiner Brothers for their contribution to tag team wrestling. In particular Scott Steiner was the first person I ever saw do a hurricanrana, of course his was called The Frankensteiner. They were Japanese style in the ring but with the All-American gimmick. And they were incredibly over especially in WCW/NWA and constantly put on amazing matches.

Together I think they deserve a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. I think without the Steiner Brother's a lot of stars may have never been who they were.

I do not understand why they seem to be forgotten when people talk of the greatest tag teams of all time. In their prime, there is no other team I'd rather watch.
