[2000-05-22-WCW-Nitro] Rick Steiner vs Scott Steiner (Asylum)

[soup23]

Scott calls out Rick or Tank and Rick answers. The Asylum cage reminded me of the chamber of horrors center section lowering down which ironically enough also happened to Rick Steiner. The match is absolutely nothing and Rick is done as a performer. Tank Abbott comes in to interfere but Nash makes the save for Scott creating an uneasy union. 1/2*

Midajah and the other girl who is accompanying Steiner are dressed as cheerleaders. Steiner cuts a promo that doesn’t go anywhere, but challenges his brother and Tank Abbott to face him in ‘the Asylum’ (a domed cylindrical cage) where the only way you can leave is by saying ‘I Quit’. Rick answers the challenge and as soon as the action begins ‘the Asylum’ starts to lower from the ceiling. Rick with a belly to belly, before getting on top of his brother and raining down punches on him. Scott blocks having his head rammed into the cage, knee to the mid-section and he rams Rick’s head into it. Overhead belly to belly, ‘Steiner recliner’ when Goldberg’s music plays. It’s not Goldberg though, it’s Tankberg, exiting his dressing room with bolt cutters in hand (look out for Alan Funk and Mike Sanders in R&B security). Tank’s rivalling Sandman when it comes to making a save and when he does get to ringside the bolt cutters aren’t working. He assaults Mickey Jay (who’s got the controls for ‘the Asylum’) and with him down raises the cage so he can get in and help Rick. The two of them double team Scott until Kevin Nash makes the save. Rubbish!

The Asylum looks kind of cool I guess. Scott's promo at the front end of this is absolutely ridiculous including the cheerleaders encouraging his dirty nursery rhymes. Yeah Rick has nothing to offer here and it's just dressing for yet another angle anyway.
