Because the Steiners always have been insanely overrated, that's your answer. The "great" Dome show match doesn't hold a candle to any of the other Hase/Sasaki other that year. it's not even a *good* match. Hell, Rick Steiner & Scott Norton had a much better match with Hase/Sasaki later in the year, simply because it had structure. The Superbrawl match is the same average kind of match, with a lot less exciting spots. They were shitty faces in peril (although Rick was better then Scott, at least early on), they never figured how to sell, they never figured how to use their big spots in a logical (or at least in a sort of ascending scale) way, they suck at southern tag team match structure because they are only interested in throwing bombs, which is why they can only be fun when they got some team who they can throw around (Nasties) or some team who throw bombs back (Doom) and settle them down (Doc/Gordy). The Road Warriors are indeed much better at tag team wrestling. And although I consider them really shitty workers, the Nasty Boys are better purely as "tag team" workers. Not that I don't enjoy the Steiner for what they are. But a great team they are not. -
I have shitloads of WWC waiting somewhere, one of these days, one of these days... it's stuff like this that gives me the urge....

They couldn't get Bruno so they put Backlund in. Nice.

I made a thread in the Microscope.

Well, there you go. Talk about them Steiner boys if you want to, to me most of their most pimped stuff doesn't hold up at all (the Dome match, Luger/Sting 10 minutes spotfest, abusing a young japanese worker). I enjoyed them trading bombs with Doom and Williams/Gordy, and their best match is probably the Nasty Boys from Halloween Havoc 90 (a case of a mediocre team and a shitty team having one hell of a match for some bizarre reason). Fun for big spots, but that only goes so far with me.

Agreed. Both teams are greatly overrated. I haven't seen a Bulldog match in ages, but I went through a shitload of Steiners, and from pure memory I think the Bulldogs were quite the better team.

Curtis was a trooper and one hell of a bumper. But I don't care for that angle at all. Maybe me not being familiar with USWA doesn't help. Hales isn't good at all.

Holy shit this is pretty surreal, as they basically plug a UFC PPV. Gotta love Severn explaining the differences between UFC and wrestling. I was half expecting him to response "Welll, UFC is the real deal." Yep, I think we have found the source for Meltz MMA = wrestling school of thought. I still have a big time soft spot for Severn, I wish he had a bigger pro-wrestling career on a big stage.

Don't make light of this. I'm soon getting there... And I still have to find that cool Beefcake match...
