Reel in Place

  vs The Steiner Brothers (WCW 2/21/1998) Some would say that the Steiners eat up the Blue Bloods in this match; I don't think that is inaccurate, but typically that kind of thing is said about guys who don't deserve to have so little offense.

They do a fine job of it. This is a short TV match; the whole match is just building to Fulton getting in there. In 1988, this would have worked, this would have worked at Techwood Drive, but it's 1995, this is Center Stage, and Bobby Fulton is 7 years older. He hits a bunch of suplexes, he and Rogers hit a few double-team moves, but as the referee is shepherding Rogers back to the corner, Fulton attempts a pin. With the referee's back t...
