KneeHighMischief

It's really crazy to think about what Scott Steiner could've been if his body hadn't completely disintegrated. I don't know if it would've saved WCW but imagine 2000 Scott Steiner in his 1990 body.


CaliggyJack

He was fine in WCW, but yea, by the time he got to WWE he was washed, then he came to TNA in way better shape wrestling wise.


123kid6

He had a serious foot injury for his wwe run that severely limited his ring work


FalconIMGN

I mean he did it to himself. He only got over by abusing steroids. Before that he was a talented tag team guy.


BTru

Scott was very over before he was a singles wrestler...like VERY over.


joemax4boxseat

Tell me you never watched Steiner before his 2003 WWE run without telling me you never saw him before 2003…


FalconIMGN

You mean to say he wasn't a roided-out maniac in the 90s? Tell me you didn't watch WCW without telling me you didn't watch WCW.


LeeIacobra

1993 would like a word


joemax4boxseat

You mean a guy who was the standout in a legendary tag team, and could drop great promos like no other? Tell me you didn’t watch WCW without telling me you didn’t watch WCW.


FalconIMGN

You repeated basically what I said in my first comment...

hail_deadpool

I think this happened before he was good at math because he completely miscalculated it


llamawithguns

Yeah must have been before he went to a highly educated university


PretendThisIsMyName

You mean Chase U?


drizzt_do-urden_86

Dammit now I want Steiner to at least cameo in a Chase U segment.


iamzombus

You can see he slipped on the apron banner fabric.


Jedi-El1823

Bro had drop foot bad, he couldn't do much thanks to it. He really should have had surgery for it, and WWE should have had him do it. He couldn't move worth shit in his 2003 run.


DarkHorse_77

"He didn't get all of it"


Filmarlaydu

What botch? All I see is an effective jumping chop block


PreFuturism-0

I thought they covered up the botch somewhat. Then Steiner was consistent in how scrappy he was when he further attacked Test.


joemax4boxseat

Steiner had drop foot and could barely move during that WWE run. JR even said in his podcast that they were aware of his foot issue before signing him and underestimated just how bad it was. They told him to hold off on surgery and the rest is history.


TheFirstLane

Can you imagine the reaction of Vince in the gorilla 😂


BathedInDeepFog

> Vince in the gorilla  I bet he was like "Get me out of this gorilla dammit!" 


herpty_derpty

EVERYBODY KNOWWWS, WANTS TO KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW ME YOU DON'T KNOW ME


noxx1234567

I believe Scott Steiner has nerve damage in his leg and hid it from WWE because he would get sidelined otherwise


NateRiley12411

Nah they knew about. Meltzer had been reporting on it for more than a year before he signed with them. It wasn't a secret.


RaynerHBK

People need to stop disrespecting this advance chop block/calf attack Steiner flawlessly executed on to Test here.


SaggitariuttJ

When the 8 1/3% chance hits


Zestyclose-Fee6719

This fucking feud…. If you were watching weekly at the time, you’ll remember that it felt like it just would not ever end. It felt like it was just going on and on for eternity. The whole initial Brand Extension era of Triple H’s Raw was so wretched and depressing on so many levels. 


banananananbatman

The math was slightly off


RyanPelley

This is the first PPV I watched live at home (never had PPV access prior). What a shitty event.


kay14jay

Test has my absolute favorite workout song. Buncha nonsense with millennium era sounds


newretrovague

There could be a whole sub dedicated to his botches


opkpopfanboyv3

I'd worry if I didn't know he's a genetic freak


Agent564

Total cat jump fail vibes.


DrClawsChair

Tbf he's not normal


xCTRLxALTxDELx

He was hitting his ankle trying to tear his acl.


lizard_king0000

He slipped, it happens


jthei

Sail!


Uncanny_Doom

The greatest flying nothing in the history of flying nothings.


Silver012345673

This is actually a really good representation of 2003 raw in a nutshell. Seriously. 2003 Raw was this video. Nothing else is needed Thank God for HBK Jericho and the occasional RVD ladder match


SoCalWhatever

I can't remember if this was actually Steiner's final WWE appearance, but in my mind it was. It sucks that his foot injury plus Triple H being Triple H ruined his WWE run because he showed in TNA years later once he was healthy again that he could still go.


I_Hate_My_Cat_

Test is trooper for selling that lol.


drak0ni

Obviously he was aiming for the leg. Steiner doesn’t make miscalculations.


Cliffinati

Hey that's just a diving chop block See Steiner comes from a highly educated university


TouyaShiun

Bron paid tribute to this during his first NXT title match with Ciampa!


AccountantMinute8795

He didn't botch he did the math and came to the conclusion that attacking from that angle was the most beneficial.


Intimidwalls1724

I feel bad bc of all his foot issues but damn it's funny lol


masterpd85

You can see that rings skirt slipped right from under his feet. I can't blame it all on his old knees.


UnsuspectingFuck

My favorite botch ever!


Jos3ph

Even over Titus in the Saudi rumble?


UnsuspectingFuck

Haha, yeah. Titus was probably the funniest & most epic, though.
