My Take
Rick Steiner is one of those wrestlers who never quite got his due as a singles guy, but honestly? His run with the Steiner Brothers is some of the best tag team wrestling ever put on tape. Growing up in Bay City, Michigan and earning his keep at the University of Michigan as an amateur wrestler, you could always tell the mat work was real with Rick — no smoke and mirrors, just pure grappling instinct. The "Dog Faced Gremlin" persona was goofy in the best way, and somehow it fit perfectly with how absolutely relentless he was in the ring. Eight WCW World Tag Team Championship reigns, mostly alongside his brother Scott, tells you everything about how dominant that team was in its prime. I'll always have a soft spot for the guy — he's the sturdy, no-nonsense older brother who let Scott get all the spotlight and still just kept doing his thing.
