How good were the Steiner brothers in the ring and overall?

you didn't ask me, but i'll answer both questions...

it's just a guess, but my money is that "GOAT" Tag Team stands for "Greatest of All Time" Tag Team. and it's a sound argument. yeah, Legion of Doom are high on the list, as are Hart Foundation, Brain Busters, Hardy Boys, Dudley Boys and Edge/Christian. they all have their strengths. but like was said earlier, they could put on 30 minute matches with great technical wrestling cuz of their conditioning, so they deserve some extra notice for that.

i loved their style. it was very flexible. brawling, technical, mat wrestling, aerial... and of course SUPLEXES! these guys were notorious for their freaking suplexes. i loved it!!

some matches to check out, and this is from memory so please forgive me if i get the pay per views and years wrong.

Steiner Brothers vs. Headshrinkers. this happened at WrestleMania. maybe Mania 10. give or take.

Steiner Brothers vs. Sting/Luger. they had a bunch of matches, but there's one in particular i'm thinking of and can't remember when/where they had it. Bash at the Beach, maybe? early 90's.

Steiner Brothers vs. Legion of Doom. they didn't face each other often, but did once at Starrcade. don't have a clue which year, but shouldn't be too hard to look up.

Scott Steiner/Giant (now known as the Big Show) vs. Rick Steiner/Buff Bagwell. Halloween Havoc. this is another year i'm not sure of, but i liked this match. Scott does the Hurricanrana (called a FrankenSteiner in his honor) and Big Show does a top rope missile dropkick. totally worth checking out.

not that i've ever met either of the guys, but i get the distinct impression that Scotty is not well-liked because of his filter-less mouth. his ring-work had declined by the time he returned to the WWE in 2003, so between that and his bad attitude/uncontrollable mouth, i think everyone kinda soured on him. that's just my guess, however uneducated it may be.

despite any setbacks they had as a team or on their own, despite any backstage politics or junk that they went thru, i always liked both of them. i didn't watch them to grow as a person or improve my moral standing. i watched them because they were a lot of fun and really good at what they did. so all that to say, i hope that gets you started. enjoy getting to know two of the best!
