A long time before he dyed his hair and became a big walking lump of muscle, Scott Steiner was one of the quickest big men in pro wrestling.

Much like his older brother Rick, Scott was possessed of strength, explosive speed, and uncanny agility.

The amateur wrestling standouts also became pro wrestling standouts, and then some. The Steiner Brothers are one of the most decorated tag teams in history and are one of the few teams to hold the tag team titles in the NWA, WCW, and WWE.

What made their clotheslines so special? A combination of their power, speed, and sheer brutality. In fact, announcer Jim Ross declared that the Steiners didn't use clotheslines at all, but in fact used Steinerlines due to their brutality.

Here are Ric and Scott destroying two preliminary wrestling talents.
