## Steiner Brothers and first tag title reigns(1989-1990)

Scott Steiner's first canon match was in the first ever Saturday Night and first ever WCW show as he defeated his brother Rick Steiner to qualify for the inaugural WCW Heaviweight Championship tournament. He was eliminated on the first round by Sting

Steiner Brothers continued amounting tag wins until Starrcade 1989 where they defeated the undefeated Road Warriors to become WCW tag team champions

They defended against Rock N Roll Express before shockingly losing the titles at Halloween Havoc to Vader and Kevin Sullivan as Vader did all of the work, they had a rematch the week afterwards where Steiner Bros won back the titles not letting Sullivan tag in Vader. At Starrcade they defended the titles against Samoan Swat Team before losing it in a cash-in by Fabulous Freebirds

Steiners became 3 time tag champions at Superbrawl 1 as they defeated Doom, Freebirds and Midnight Express to win the vacant tag titles, they were yet again cashed in on at Great American Bash by Terry Taylor and Brian Pillman and were so pissed they turned heel as they broke everything surrounding them but lost in a rematch at Halloween Havoc in their last WCW match

## Empire and first WWF tag title reign(1992-1993)

On the RAW after Wrestlemania 8 as Koko B.Ware was celebrating retaining the WWF Championship and achieving a full day as WWF champion, the lights went out as Sycho Sid appeared on one side of the barricade, Randy Savage on the other and Steiner Brothers on another as they led a beatdown and formed Empire

Steiner Brothers entered the tag team battle royal at In Your House 1 to determine the inaugural RAW tag team champions but ended up being eliminated by the Headbangers. Both brothers were in the MITB ladder match but failed to win it

Sid got in a feud with Ramon while Steiner Bros had a feud against Headbangers and at Summerslam Sid and Steiner Bros defeated Ramon and Headbangers in a 6 men tag to enter the G1. As the main group of RAW they went up against the main group of Smackdown Four Horsemen at Survivor Series for the SS Briefcases, Empire won after GM of Smackdown Bobby Heenan turned on 4HM and helped Empire win. This was due to a trade that happened the day of Survivor Series where all of Empire was traded to Smackdown while Four Horsemen was traded to RAW

At In Your House 5, Steiner Brothers defeated Demolition to become world tag team champions. Steiners defended against Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Lawler and Headshrinkers, Strike Force stepped up as their challengers as they were the team with most reigns ever in WWF and at Wrestlemania 9 they defeated the Steiners in a ladder match to win the world tag titles

## Last feuds in WWF(1993-1994)

The world tag titles were vacated as Tito Santana returned and put up to grabs in a tournament where Bobby Heenan revealed that Steiner Bros would automatically be in the finals but they still lost against Doink The Clown and Barry Horowitz

They were pissed about this and bitched about it to Bobby Heenan who said he couldn't do anything about it, they tried asking for more shots but Bobby Heenan said that Vince told him to step down from giving random shots to Empire so they would have to earn it. At Survivor Series after Yokozuna and Duane Gill defeated Steiner Bros to retain the tag titles, Steiner Bros left Bobby Heenan alone as they fired him from his manager position

At Smackdown 75, Steiner Brothers went up against Smoking Gunns to determine the NO1 contenders to the tag titles at Wrestlemania, Steiners were about to win when Bobby Heenan pulled the ref out of there and helped Smoking Gunns win, Bobby Heenan was beat up by them and fired from his SD GM position

At Smackdown 82, they announced it would be their last night on Smackdown as they had been traded to RAW, Yokozuna and Duane Gill challenged them to a match where Steiner Bros shockingly became world tag team champions on their last night and took the title to RAW

New GM of Smackdown kept the Wrestlemania match as Smoking Gunns vs Steiner Brothers but if Smoking Gunns didn't win, RAW would keep both tag titles and Smackdown would be forced to make new ones which costs a lot so Piper added the stakes that if Smoking Gunns didn't win they would be forced to leave for RAW. At Wrestlemania 10 Smoking Gunns defeated Steiner Bros to win the world tag titles in their last WWF match

## Return to WCW, multiple tag title reigns and cash-ins(1994-1997)

Steiner Brothers returned as a last minute addition to a NO1 contendership tag match between Paul Roma and Arn Anderson vs Brad Armstrong and Stan Lane which Steiners won, this decision was widely criticized as it was the finals of a tournament created to make new tag teams and an old returning team won it. At Bash at the Beach, they defeated Harlem Heat to become 4 time tag champions but Brad Armstrong and Stan Lane immediatly cashed in to win the titles

They tried getting the tag titles back in a rematch at Fall Brawl also involving Harlem Heat but failed to do so. At Halloween Havoc Steiners defeated Harlem Heat to end their feud

They started a feud with Four Horsemen as they faced every single variation of them as a duo and at Slamboree defeated Lex Luger and Arn Anderson to become 5 time champions, during their reign Faces of Fear always threatened they would cash in and the tradition continued at Halloween Havoc as during a match against American Males, Faces of Fear cashed in to make it a triple threat and become champions. At Starrcade they were involved in a fatal 4 way for the titles against American Males, Public Enemy and Konnan and Juventud Guerrera which the latter won

Steiner Brothers saw that they were cashed in on every single year they were in WCW so they decided to be the ones winning the CITL contract which they did at Bash at the Beach but still won the tag titles without the briefcase in an episode of Nitro against Kevin Nash and HHH. They were cocky and accepted Harlem Heat's challenge for a match for the briefcases, Harlem Heat beat them to win the briefcases and right after cashed in to win the tag titles at Hog Wild

At Fall Brawl, they became 7 time champions defeating American Males and Harlem Heat in a triple threat. The NWO TV Championship was put up to grabs in a battle royal which Scott Steiner managed to win lastly eliminating Kevin Nash. At World War 3 The Outsdiers defeated Steiners to win the tag titles. At Starrcade, Steiner had his first singles match in the show defeating Lex Luger to retain the title

## The Resistance(1997)

Hollywood Hogan started trying to end Scott Steiner's NWO TV title reign but Steiner defeated him completely clean in the main event of a Nitro. At Superbrawl VII they main evented and Randy Savage helped Scott win as they started teaming up along with Rick as an Empire throwback, at Uncensored 1997 they were defeated by Hogan, Nash and Hall. On the following Nitro, NWO closed the show with Curt Hennig's WCW Heaviweight title coronation when Arn Anderson, who has been wanting to run WCW since the start of 1997, led an ambush with Randy Savage, Los Guerreros, Steiner Brothers, Ultimo Dragon and Jeff Jarrett as they finally managed to take down NWO.

They were introduced as The Resistance, the group that would finally put an end to NWO's reign at the top, they were all forced to have matches at Slamboree and if they didn't win all of them, they would all be banished from WCW, at Slamboree Steiner Bros defeated Chris Benoit and Steven Regal to become tag team champions for an eighth time. At Great American Bash, The Resistance fought NWO in a wargames match where if they won, they would all get singles matches for the WCW Heaviweight title, The Resistance managed to win on NWO's first big loss ever

Scott continued defending the NWO TV title throught the months until he was finally the last one to face Hollywood Hogan for the title after the rest of The Resistance failed, at Halloween Havoc Steiner was close to winning when Randy Savage turned heel and elbow dropped him to ensure he didn't.

## World title reign, Steiner Brothers breakup and NWO Civil Wars(1997-1998)

Since Scott was the longest reigning TV champion of all time, Eric Bischoff decided to put him against an equal challenger, the undefeated US champion Goldberg and The Mob's Billy Kidman in a triple threat match. At Starrcade, Goldberg defeated Scott and Kidman to end Scott's reign at 416 days

On the first ever Nitro after Arn Anderson became owner, he announced a battle royal to determine the NO1 contender to Sting's WCW Heaviweight title which Scott Steiner won with a new look as he eliminated Rey Mysterio Jr

Steiner had a lot of animosity towards Sting because at Halloween Havoc 1997, Steiner was about to win the title when Randy Savage showed up and made him lose while Sting was watching it all unfold from the rafters, Steiner proclaims that Sting's main goal was never to take down NWO, he just wanted 1 more title reign under his big career. Sting revealed that Arn Anderson was behind it all, coming up with The Resistance plan in december as he ordered Sting on whenever he should attack and Arn was the one who didn't let Sting help Scott. Scott lost his first match against Sting at Superbrawl VIII but shockingly defeated him at Nitro 201 to become WCW Heaviweight champion but lost it 2 weeks afterwards back to Sting

At Bash at the Beach, Steiner Brothers defeated Jim Neidhart and Davey Boy Smith but were then cashed in by Los Guerreros who won the titles ending Steiners' longest tag title reign. They managed to win the tag titles back at Great American Bash and Lex Luger and The Barbarian immediatly cashed in but for the first time ever, Steiners managed to retain during a cash-in. At Road Wild, they defeated Los Guerreros in one of the greatest tag matches of all time

Steiners were pissed that the NWO was the main focus of the show again with their civil war but at Fall Brawl Scott Steiner beat up Rick and let HHH and Kevin Nash win the tag titles as Scott joined NWO Chaos. He explained that his reasoning was because Nash said he wanted to end the most corrupt man in WCW: Sting and his goals aligned with his own.

At World War 3-NWO Civil War, he was part of the NWO Chaos team but NWO Wolfpac defeated Chaos and Hollywood to become the sole NWO. At Starrcade the brothers' feud culminated as Scott defeated Rick

## Future Shock(1999-)

Scott Steiner was forced to enter a tag team tournament for the vacant tag titles which was made up of randomized tag teams, he teamed up with Dean Malenko as they had great chemistry together but Steiner would always beat him up after the match. At Uncensored, Scott no-showed his quarter finals match but as Malenko was getting beat up, he showed up, tagged in and won the match. They found respect for each other as they managed to qualify for the finals against Kevin Nash and Alex Wright but Harlem Heat entered the match as a last minute addition and became tag team champions

On the day afterwards Future Shock defeated Harlem Heat for Scott to become a 10 time tag team champion but quickly lost the titles at Bash at the Beach back to Harlem Heat in a triple threat also involving Buff Bagwell and Sid Vicious

After 2 months, Future Shock became champions again beating Harlem Heat in an episode of Nitro
