Guest CronoT Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I think we all remember the infamous Steiner "Trip off the ring apron into a headbutt" screw up. Now, we have Goldberg screwing up something as simple as climbing the turnbuckles. Who do you think will be given the crown of "Biggest Screw-Up?" Steiner did it for all the world to see, both in the arena and on live PPV. However, Goldberg did it with something that Rock and Austin do so often, they could do it in their sleep. I think the only thing that could top this little fiasco, would be if Triple H went for the water spit and gagged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Steiner was in the context of a fucking match... Goldberg was just doing his Retard gone wild antics and fucked Up... And btw...Steiner recovered to the point he has become a solid Mid-Carder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but in this business you're defined by two things: Your highest achievement or action, and your lowest mistake or embarrassment. Not many average people remember that Mick Foley was a multi-time WWF/E Champion, but damn near anyone who's even been near wrestling remembers the dive off the HIAC into the Announce Booth.

I don't remember Steiner for slipping on the mat... I remember him for putting on ****+ Matches from 1990-1994 left and right and his awesome WCW heel run from 99-01.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 23, 2003 What the fuck are you talking about? You asked what was funnier? I said Goldberg because it was something that didn't involve physictality...and wasn't in the guise of a match. Then you went with your People are either remember for doing something great or stupid... So I said...Myself and Everyone won't remember Scott Steiner for tripping on the mat and then you try to tell Me It's a half/full glass thing... What the fuck are you talking about?

rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 When people list Steiner's and Goldberg's career at the end of their career, or even in a year or so, no-one with a life is going to remember those things... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted July 24, 2003 I remember Steiner for his awesome heel run at the end of WCW and for his embarassing RR match. I remember Goldberg for being a whiny baby. So Goldberg is funnier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheAnvil Report post Posted July 24, 2003 I remember Eddie slipping off the apron and falling to the floor during a Wrestlemania, and I don't hear you guys bringing that up all the time...and it's far worse than either of those slip-ups. DOUBLE STANDARD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted July 24, 2003 I remember that. It was during the time when Test was stuck in the ropes. Man, that was comedy. It took Saturn, the ref & Eddie to get Test out. People botch shit all the time. It's a part of the business. No one is perfect. No big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest edotherocket Report post Posted July 24, 2003 That was hilarious. And Test was stuck in the ropes for a whole minute too. Too bad they edited it out the DVD. Seems WWE has double standards too. They leave all of Steiner's bloopers in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted July 24, 2003 They leave all of Steiner's bloopers in. They do? Hell, I didn't know that. I've yet to see the Royal Rumble or No Way Out on DVD, so I wouldn't know. I'll never see them on DVD either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Deviant Report post Posted July 24, 2003 Maybe if Goldberg's slip was shown properly on TV, it would be a contender, until then, the Steiner Slip rules all. And actually, when someone says Scott Steiner, I think "Completely useless fuck that used to be a good wrestler", so I guess the negative does come first for some.

And actually, when someone says Scott Steiner, I think "Completely useless fuck that used to be a good wrestler", so I guess the negative does come first for some. Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes BOTH agreed that Steiner was the guy to carry wrestling into the next generation. Minus the roids and the career altering injury, Scott Steiner would of arguably been the only wrestler, in my opinion, that would come even close to claiming the spot of 'Greatest of All-Time' from Ric Flair himself. 'Good wrestler' is about as big an under-statement as you can make. M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 24, 2003 IMO...Scott Steiner was what WWE wanted Brock Lesnar to be. It's such a fucking shame this generation of Fans only remember Steiner for falling off the apron...WHICH HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES EVEN FROM THE GREAT ONES. (Yes, Flair slipped before) Lesnar botched on the biggest stage in the business but how come you don't make fun of that? Or what about when Haybusa botched the Lionsault and (I believe) was Paryalyzed? What's the difference...All three of those were done in the same context...In the guise of a Wrestling Match...Steiner was going for a Apron move (I think a Axe Hammer) and slipped...No different from Brock and Hayabusa botching spots. It's only deemed funny because we decided that Steiner is just a joke and we can make fun of him but when any one else that is particularly loved or admired in the business we either gloss over it or rather, we just make up excuses for it.

Guest eiker_ir Report post Posted July 24, 2003 man watching Steiner is so sad this days, just look at him a few years ago and he was a great wrestler. Now look at him, he's so broken down, i feel bad sometimes when i see how low he got. sad i say... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
