Rick Steiner is incredibly underrated. Criminally so, especially by workrate marks. How bad is it, you ask? Here goes.

Folks think that the only UWF guy who made anything of himself after the Jim Crockett sale was Sting. That wasn't true. Rick Steiner was almost as big of a star as Sting was. Sting was Flair's pet project. Rick was Kevin Sullivan's.

He was a member of the Varsity Club, a team that inspired several knock-offs. The only one that was better was the Steiner Brothers with his brother Scott. The abuse Rick suffered at the hands of Kevin and company made him incredibly sympathetic. He turned face in a match with the Fantastics, and they almost disappeared in the aftermath. His leaving the Varsity Club made him for years.

Workrate Marks think that Scott was the only reason why they got over, with his freakish strength and athleticism. Rick would get a bigger reaction for years just by barking and jogging around the ring, living his best life. For 5 years, Scott needed Rick much more than the other way around.

Rick also had one of the best clotheslines in the business. His Steiner-line looked good, and was devastating. Just ask Chris Champion.
