New Japan Pro Wrestling 6/22/1992 - Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow vs The Steiner Brothers

New Japan Pro Wrestling 6/22/1992 - Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow vs The Steiner Brothers












The finish
Bam Bam hits an enzugiri to start and Scott hits some big lariats on him. Bam holds on the ropes and avoids a dropkick from Scott. The heels then throw out the Steiners and pose, who then get them from behind with diving clotheslines. They then stall for a bit. Bam hits a nasty boot in the corner that knocks down Rick. Vader hits some hurtin' bombs on Rick and Rick fires back with bad punches and a lariat, then goes for a ride with a backdrop. Rick gets splashed in the corner. Vader gets launched overhead by Rick, then german'd. Scott vertical suplexes Vader in then looks like a goof slipping off the ropes. Vader reverses a sunset flip with a butt drop. Bam gets in and suplexes Scott and then Scott goes flying on a Vader body smash. Vader dumps Scott with a nasty jacknife powerbomb then puts him in the dragon sleeper. Bam does a butterfly on Scott onto his knee and Scott hits hard. Scott fights back and tries to suplex Bam but it doesn't work out. Vader tries for another butt drop but Scott moves. Scott hurricanrana's Vader and Rick gets a hot tag in. Rick hits this awesome backdrop on Bam, who really gets up there for this. Rick cleans house but Bam stun guns him. Vader hits a powerbomb on Rick. Vader picks Rick up for a slam and the ref goes down, and it may not hav even be worked to be honest. Bam does a flipping senton on Rick and counts his own 3 since the ref is down then gets belly to belly'd for the Steiners win. This was a wild one and was pretty much what you wanted with the big men crushing the Steiners and the Steiners throwing them around. While good and a ton of fun, I think it could have been even better. I suspected the finish was to save the heels a clean loss since the Steiners were WCW champs and neither one of Vader/Bam Bam should be losing.
