To be honest, I don't really get professional wrestling. Yes they have skills, but it is choreographed and the drama is scripted. Nothing more than a glorified soap opera with athletic feats.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:01 PM ^
Pretty sure the people who watch it, know that.
January 17th, 2020 at 7:52 PM ^
Athletic feats: a back flip off the turnbuckle, land on opponent, 1... 2... the dead guy on the bottom comes to life and destroys the other guy. Athletic feat and drama!! For realz!
Also, Scott owns the Stuckeys near my house. My son wrestled in high school with his nephews.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:02 PM ^
Yeah? What's not to like??
January 17th, 2020 at 3:21 PM ^
Noooooooo. REALLY, WILDBACKDUNESMAN?! Wait....you're telling me that all these decades I have been watching WWF/WWE that this shit is SCRIPTED?!?!?!?!?!?!
FUCK
January 17th, 2020 at 3:24 PM ^
College football is essentially scripted as well - what's your point?
January 17th, 2020 at 3:28 PM ^
Yeah, that's the point. Is it any less dramatic because it's scripted? Shakespeare's plays are scripted too, yet people have been performing and watching them for 500 years.
January 17th, 2020 at 4:24 PM ^
That is an excellent comparison. I also hate Shakespear plays.
January 17th, 2020 at 5:10 PM ^
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME MAN!
January 17th, 2020 at 7:16 PM ^
Meh. So's major league baseball.
January 17th, 2020 at 7:53 PM ^
Buzz buzz... (fastball)
January 17th, 2020 at 3:02 PM ^
This falls in line with everything other good thing Michigan did versus Ohio State. 20 years ago.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:04 PM ^
Including our ability to form a functional sentence.
January 17th, 2020 at 4:41 PM ^
I'm as good at writing as Michigan is at football.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:10 PM ^
Exactly. That this was 20 years ago, barely before OSU reversed the ownage that continues to this day, is sad and makes this post sad.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:57 PM ^
Ouch. Where’s the bleach.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:03 PM ^
juiced out of his mind.
with us he wrestled at 177, IIRC; and robbie at 191, then off to superheavy.
those were heady days....
January 17th, 2020 at 3:07 PM ^
Hard work and vitamins. He's all natty!
January 17th, 2020 at 3:16 PM ^
only if 'natty' means a dynabol and HGH cocktail. whew. can't imagine the residual damage that does to the body. they had a couple of decades of celebrity, but like the verse goes, what does it gain a man to get the whole world but lose his soul (and body)?
January 17th, 2020 at 7:57 PM ^
Scott is a successful real estate agent in our town. Not all brain cells are dead.
The Michigan Difference
January 17th, 2020 at 4:01 PM ^
That’s insane.
Of course, doping is a problem in all sports, but the issue is exacerbated in pro wrestling, where looking ripped matters more than physical ability, and your “competitors” don’t care if you’re juicing because there’s no competitive advantage.
Unfortunately, it’s not just a joke. A fair number of guys have died of causes at least partly attributable to doping, with head injuries playing their part as well.
January 17th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
For sure, Scott is a juice monkey of the heighest order, but you can't compare NCAA wrestling weight versus a man's actual weight. A 171 pound wrestler would cut water from a super fit 195'ish to get to down weight and then would start rehydrating (maybe with an IV) back up to 195. Out of season, that 171 pound wrestler would be over 200 without being the least bit out of shape.
And don't forget, that's an 18-22 year old young man. Not a 30 year old man who has worked out seriously for an additional 8 years.
January 17th, 2020 at 5:36 PM ^
JPC, i'm in agreement with your general assessment, but you should've seen robbie blow up after his sophomore year. we used to tease him about what it did to certain other parts of his body. it wasn't illegal or even tested for back then. he's the one that taught scottie about it, though i don't think scottie juiced at all in college, or at least i never saw any evidence of that. scottie was my age and i was closer to him. fun guys to bounce with, that's for sure.
January 17th, 2020 at 6:22 PM ^
Gosh dang XM you have lived the best life.
Hey OT, but I lucked my way into a new gig, little south of Cadillac literally landed my dream job.
January 17th, 2020 at 6:37 PM ^
Congrats!
January 17th, 2020 at 9:38 PM ^
congrats DB. happy for you. would love to hear the details. email me?
January 17th, 2020 at 8:54 PM ^
Pretty sure the Steiner boys are actually Rechsteiner’s from Bay City. Two bad ass dudes all around.
January 17th, 2020 at 9:35 PM ^
that is correct, robbie and scottie rechsteiner. its just that when robbie went to the WWF after graduation they gave him that stage name, 'rick steiner'. it stuck.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:05 PM ^
Scott Steiner should be a guest team captain next season.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:09 PM ^
Nominate Big Poppa Pump for honorary captain of UM football. Doesn't look like he spent much time on the golf course back then.
Yeah - Like this guy^^^^ said.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:19 PM ^
If only we could do that kind of cool stuff today, but instead, we have won twice since 2003, so we have no room to talk shit because all that matters is scoreboard.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:22 PM ^
So fucking savage, I love it.
Was the interaction with the fan staged? I'm guessing he was a plant but Steiner has a history of unpredictability and going after fans in the crowd.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:51 PM ^
totally staged and actually, pretty easy to see that.
fake blood too, watch him when he's on the ground put his hand up to his nose.
January 17th, 2020 at 3:32 PM ^
Thanks for this. I never saw this before was always a WWF/WWE guy. That was great though.
January 17th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
Hard to think the last two victories in Columbus both came in 2000
January 17th, 2020 at 4:30 PM ^
That video always makes me laugh.
I used to work out at Main Event fitness in North Atlanta at the same time as Scott. Helluva nice guy. His brother Rob (Rick) is on the school board of Cherokee County schools.
January 17th, 2020 at 5:17 PM ^
Man, I miss Monday Nitro and the Monday Night Wars so much.
The mid-late 90s were so much more fun.
January 17th, 2020 at 5:36 PM ^
I remember that, good old days for both sports.
January 17th, 2020 at 6:06 PM ^
He along with Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers need to be honorary captains. . .Seriously
January 19th, 2020 at 8:44 AM ^
They have been my favorite band ever since!
January 18th, 2020 at 11:58 AM ^
Too bad I can't upvote this 100 times. Thanks!!
