Steiners returning in 95?
Feb 5th, 2007, 1:00am
 
I just saw the Uncensored 95 home video ad and what I found interesting is - in addition of the then-current WCW stars featured (Hogan, Savage, Sting, Butcher, etc) - they also have a old clip of Scott Steiner.
 
Around this same time I remember WCW Magazine doing a story about the Steiners' big win at Starrcade 90 in the tag team tournament.
 
It gives the impression they thought the Steiners would be in the company by the time of the PPV. And since Rick & Scott did show up in ECW a few weeks after the show, I wonder how close WCW came to bringing the Steiners back in 1995.
 
Any idea?

THose matches against the Road Warriors was in 96, not 95.
 
They did have a short stint with ECW, which leads me to believe that a deal between WCW and the Steiners could of fallen to the way side for a while

Found this info on RSPW:
 
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.sport.p...9e08a4b3e280f86
2/23/95: The soonest we'll see the Steiners in WCW is April.
 
Obviously something fell through as Rick debuted in ECW April 3 and Scott soon followed.
 
And this was posted re: the Collision on Korea PPV, taped in April and televised Aug. 4.
 
Bischoff had some interesting comments during THE STEINERS match with HIROSHI HASE and KENSUKI SUSAKI. Bischoff said at least twice that the Steiners were trying to get back into WCW, but haven't quite made it yet. Bischoff also said the main reason the Steiners weren't wrestling in the US is because they couldn't  
control their emotions . . . Interesting! . . .

Thanks Graham,
 
This explain a little bit, and some interesting tidbits at the bottom, notably the Hogan Vs. Vader match, that was supposed to end with blood (a la Luger-Flair at Bash 88)
