The Ghosts of Rick Steiner.

Hey RD, thought id finally join the forums, but heres my Q:

In summer 2000, I remember on a few shows of Thunder that Rick Steiner was attacked by an unseen force. One time Gene Oakland was interviewing him and he shouted "Look out Gene!" and pushed out of the way of the Thunder backdrop landing on him.

There was other stuff too: The camera one week rushed into Ricks locker-room to show Rick flipping out saying something grabbed him. Of course, the storyline was axed after two weeks (this being WCW) but I hope you know about it or at least remember it.

Wasn't that involved with Chucky?

[The Masked Jobber]

probably or the Leprechaun.

Rick Steiner vs a Ghost, that's something WCW would have done but surprisingly they axed this !!!

That angle would just turn into Black Scorpion 2000 with still no one caring.

No on all counts. Chucky attacked Rick in 1998 (I cant believe Ive just typed that).

Stuff always happened to Rick, but no one could explain why they happened. Rick started shouting that he must be insane because theres no logic to how it could happen (fitting that he would say that in WCW, no logic).

In the end it was dropped, then Rick showed up in early 2001 as that guy in the Bee Suit who would help Scott Steiner (who they switched to Animal).

Maybe that's because he didn't believed in bees so the ghost of John Belushi attacked him!

They already would have had a match to rip off:

Once again, recall Tommy Chong v. the invisible man.
