Rick Steiner’s son signs NFL contract with Baltimore Ravens

Posted on by Josh Nason

The man once known as “The Dog Faced Gremlin” might have to adjust his nickname after his son signed his first NFL deal with a different kind of animal.

Bronson Rechsteiner, a fullback with Kennesaw State (Georgia) is one of 20 undrafted rookies that will be signed by the Baltimore Ravens over the next few weeks. He is the son of Rick Steiner, former WCW and WWE tag team champion, and the nephew of former WCW triple crown champion Scott Steiner.

The news drew plenty of praise from those in wrestling including Jim Ross and Eric Bischoff while Scott joked on Twitter, “141 2/3% chance this was a great pick!!!”

The 6’0″, 230-pound Rechsteiner led the Owls with 909 rushing yards in 2019 and hit 35 bench press reps at the college’s pro day, which would have been third best at the NFL Combine. An ESPN article mentioned that it will be hard for Rechsteiner to earn a spot on the team given they have a Pro Bowl fullback already, but that he has talked about becoming a pro wrestler in the past.

His father and uncle were standout amateur wrestlers at the University of Michigan, but never played football. Rechsteiner is one of three sons for the 59-year-old Rick who currently sells real estate.

Posted on by Karl Stern

Big Poppa Pump. The Big Bad Booty Daddy. One half of the Steiner Brothers. Scott Steiner started off as a super-athlete working smaller promotions, then came to WCW in the early 1990s where he was paired with his brother Rick in one of the most dominant tag teams of the era.

After a run in both WCW and WWF, Steiner evolved into one of the most insane, out of control forces ever seen in wrestling. His promos were crazy and his matches were frightening. 

Today, host Karl Stern looks at the force of nature that is Scott Steiner.

Karl followed Steiner from his earliest days in the WWA promotion, wrestling the likes of the Great Wojo. Steiner then came to Memphis and it was clear he was going to be a superstar, and it was only a matter of time before he was paired up with his brother Rick.

When that happened in WCW, the Steiner Brothers became a world wide wrecking crew winning titles not only in the United States but in Japan as well. The Steiners in many ways mirrored the Road Warriors from a decade earlier, becoming top stars in all the major promotions of the time.

When the two finally split up, Scott Steiner cut his hair short, bleached it, and became an entirely different force. By the time WCW ended, Steiner was one of the most controversial stars in wrestling.
