Steiner to debut for NOAH??

[edgehead1984]

On SSS: NOAH, 8/1/04 (NTV/G+)
Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium

1. WLW Heavyweight Title: Daisuke Ikeda (c) vs. Rick Steiner

Can Steiner make it in NOAH???

[Luds]

We'll see if he's in decent shape, or if he was only brought back to be fed to Ikeda on his past prime...

Better Rick than Scott Steroid, I mean Scott Steiner

[Luds]

True about that. Scott was so lame in WWE last year. Rick was always the better wrestler of the 2.

[edgehead1984]

I always liked Rick better, especially Scott became the steroid freak.

I always liked Rick better, especially Scott became the steroid freak.

Well the WWE has yanked any and all info about Scott off of the RAW superstars brand. He either may go to TNA...or return and finish his career in Japan.

[Luds]

He couls still draw in Japan I guess.

[edgehead1984]

I think he might just retire due to his injuries.

[Pheonix_Chi25]

Steiner and the word "retire" just doesn't seem to go hand in hand. Steiner is still trying to prove he is still the best and at the top of his game. He has done it all so what else is there left to do?

[Haiku Warrior]

Rikishi has better conditioning that Steiner does. The dude can't last a match... he was winded at the end of the last WCW match with Booker, and the guy was champion then. Steiner looked good as a champ. Talked good as a champ. Wrestled like an average wrestler.

[Luds]

I'll have to agree with Haiku on that. He looked pretty cool, was great on the mik, but his skills pretty much went away 2 or 3 years before his run. I haven't enjoyed seeing him in the ring since his turn on Rick during the nWo feud...

[Sliced Bread #2]

Rick should be able to be succesful in NOAH. I mean c'mon the guy has been mostly succesful everywhere he's gone, except in TNA & IWA (Puerto Rico)... But he wasn't succesful in TNA or IWA, because he was only brought in a couple of times.

So Steiner wins....The main event looks pretty good, maybe a throwback match...

Oh boy... Poor Honda

[JKWrestling]

I've read that Scott Steiner invested his money very well so that he would be able to retire comfortably. I hope so, and that Rick has enough money to retire, because neither Steiner brother should be allowed in a ring ever again.
