Frankensteiner

[Carlitonsp1]

Wow, that move was so epic, the bell Rung by Default

[yarimannen]

美しい

[hsfightclub]

inventer of the frankensteiner aka hurricanrana one of the greatest wrestlers ever BIG POPPA PUMP SCOTT STEINER!

[FistacuffsMcfearless]

Back in his younger days Steiner was unreal.

[joben0002]

this move can give someone an amnesia

[ToxsickDeath]

HE BANGED HIS FUCKING HEAD ON THE FLOOR!!! THIS IS AWSOME!!!

[myst221998]

Damn, Big Poppa Pump could fly back then...

[passstrenghtfair]

The reason he stopped using this (mostly) and has been a lot more botchy in the late part of his career, was probably because he got more clumsy after gaining all that muscle on his upper body, his legs looked so much smaller that he must have had some muscular imbalance.

[steviebreech]

BEST MOVE EVER!

[angelV1]

It's hard to believe they're even the same person!

[TheWrestlefan42]

wow that wouldnt even be a finishing move now thats just a normal move that all the flexible people do

[Electronic91Videos]

Ouah! Perfectly done!

[ruckus360]

why was the bell being rung?

[Jarsfan1997]

Time limit draw.

[afroretard]

wow that must of been a long time ago

[MrBlurtit]

LOL

[sdbsingle1]

This is 1 of the sickest moves of all-time, period!

[nohomersclub11]

Dog Face Gremlin in the background oh yeah.......

[wordswithnickinthem]

Just shooting the guy in the face would be a lot more effective. I hate all this kicking crap.

[SaturnineXTS]

i fuckin' love the frankensteiner. I wonder if someone performs it from a salto like King from the Tekken series.

[elcasasatletico]

steiner use this finisher in a match versus petey williams now

[sventimiglia]

One of the best PPV ever is the NWA/WCW Tokyo Egg Dome from the 80's. Four Horsemen and the Steiners and the Road Warriors in full-effect.

[cbpointblank]

Scott Steiner was a completely different type of wrestler back then than he is now, as the steroids have made him almost completely immobile. He was awesome in the early 90's.

[seagreen152]

SO RIGHT

[ERIKTHECOP]

that was sick!!!

[MasterDenzel]

i cant can believe that use to be scott steiners finisher

[stafax]

I understand what you mean because he's a lot bigger, but he invented that move. But despite his current size, he can still do it. He did it a few weeks ago against Petey Williams on TNA. It was off the top turnbuckle, but he still did it.

[justin016]

this is pre-hgh-megaroid steiner. He used to be athletic and a really good wrestler. Now, he's like a big ball of muscle that cant even move

[Reg197844]

You're right on that. He had such an arsenal in his old WCW days. He was being groomed to be Flair's heir apparent as World Champion. Unortunatley his mic skills stunk.

[EvenflowBlack]

You must be joking. Steiner as Big Poppa Pump has always been good on the mike.

[eljaqui]

Yeah in a 'so-bad-it's-good' kind of way.

Steiner on the stick is the definition of car crash TV.

[stafax]

eljaqui, that is the best way to describe his mic skills. He's so horrible, that it's entertaining. Unlike Don West, who is so horrible that he can single handily make a show unbearable to watch.

[tsmith79]

hw change his cut his hair and dyed it blone when he went to the NWO he betrayed his brother rick i remeber that most people don't

cuz som just start watchin wrestling

[Steric55]

on the top rope frankensteiner note - chris jericho used to do a top rope frankensteiner before he was in the major leagues and once he had a slip up and almost was seriously injured he quit using the move. just a little piece of interesting info there

[EvanDevine]

Yep did it against Gedo I think on a wcw ppv

[SmackdownVsRaw10]

does,nt scott steiner does this move from the top ropes

[cakedaddys]

thats scott steiner in the vid, just younger

[MrCoolVermonterblade]

Frankensteiner and Hurracanrana are the same move The only reason the Frankensteiner is called that is because it was done by Scott STEINER

[SyxxPunk]

Well, he saw the move done in Japan, and decided to do a non-pin version to call his own.

[fraz1776]

From wikipedia- Hurricanrana was invented by Luchador Huracan Ramirez. This is a Frankensteiner headscissors takedown that ends in a rana pinning hold. The rana is any double-leg cradle. The huracanrana is typically done with more velocity than the headscissors takedown, as the opponent needs to land directly underneath the wrestler, instead of being tossed away.

[power1917]

your're an idiot. why right about something you know nothing about? all "hurricanranas' were properly called Frankensteiners up unitil 1996!!! a "hurricanran" is a frankensteiner that ends in a pin hence "rana" I denamd you apoligize for bismerching the Superstar Scott Steiner!

[mjoh5679]

does it even matter, its the same move.

[ChillieMcFreeze]

Huracan Ramirez was doing Huracanranas in the 1960s, and I'm pretty sure that Scott Steiner is not quite that old. Nice try, though.

[fingerboarder14]

what kind of match was that?

[SyxxPunk]

The hurracanarana ends up in a pin. The frankensteiner does not.  Simple as that.

[HayabusaWill]

WRONG.

[SyxxPunk]

Umm....explain how?

[CrystalTears234]

i believe a hurricanrana is when you swing around the side and a frankensteiner is when you go through the legs. pins and ropes have nothing to do with it. i'm quite sure that's right but not certain

[jepreese81]

Sorry I meant to reply to EACH person who posted saying they were the same move. It didn't take the comments posted like that, it instead posted them all at the top. For That I apologize.

[jepreese81]

No it's not. I hope to clear away some of the confusion. Yes jurricanrana (spellcheck) is different, as it is simply a type of leg scissors. Frankensteiner is executed more like a ddt, as steiner uses his legs to drive his opponents head into the mat. There are times, when poorly executed, it can look similar to a jurricanrana, but they are supposed to be 2 DIFFERENT MOVES!!!

[drzip1993]

the hurricanrana is a flipping headscissors takedown, ending in a "rana" (two legged) cradle pin. ok?

this is pissing me off

frankensteiner is a hurricanrana withouth the pin executed when you are sitting on the oponents shoulders behind their head.

[BoykindJack]

Saying the FrankenSteiner and the Hurricanranna are two different moves is like saying the Diamond Cutter and RKO are two different moves. They are the same moves just different approach to doing them.

[l2y4n00050]

Frankensteiner = when the opponent is running towards they guy then does a hurricanrana

Hurricanrana = Backflip, leg scissor take down. The opponent has to be standing still.

Summary, frankensteiner, the opponent is running towards the person going to execute the maneuver. Hurricanrana is when the opponent is in a still position.

[l2y4n00050]

Frankensteiner

This move is commonly, if not always, referred to as a huracanrana or hurricanrana, although it is technically slightly different. The move is described as a headscissors takedown that is performed against a running opponent. The wrestler jumps on the shoulders of the charging opponent and performs a backflip, using her momentum to throw the opponent over her and on to their back.[1]

[l2y4n00050]

I got my research from wikipedia!

Where's your research? Has nothing to do with how the head slams. It is whether the opponent is running. And technically, there is no such thing as a top rope frankensteiner, but is technically referred as a top rope hurricanrana if you want to bring that up.

[hardgayramen4ever]

back in the days before he took a shit load of steroids and could still wrestle, its sad looking back on this, he was a good wrestler back then, the current steiner is a joke

[ANTInewecw41]

ok people. frankensteiner are 2 things.

1) a standing, straight hurricanrana like in this video.

2) a top-rope hurricanrana

[TBon3Supl3x]

that is a frankensteiner as Steiner called it when he brought it to America. Hurricanrana is just another name for it used by people in other parts. Although some would say that if there's a swing like the one done by Lita and Billy kidman its a Hurricanrana and if its straight on like Rey Mysterio's its a frankensteiner

[LFC9]

No one does it better. And that my friends was a "Frankensteiner".

[ricane89]

listen dumbass that was a frankensteiner

[drzip1993]

Omg the the frankensteiner is when you jump on the persons back and you do a backwards hurricanrana. The hurricanrana is from the front, and it goes straight into a "rana" pin.

[ANTInewecw41]

wow your an idiot. thats not a frankensteiner at all

[drzip1993]

Yah...it is...

[Sonik1980]

Defo a Frankensteiner, He was the first "Superstar" to use it in the major leagues. Damn Scotty used to be one of the best...

[ANTInewecw41]

this is to drzip1993. what you said is a poison rana

[chase1234life]

Actually, they're slightly different. The frankensteiner goes straight back, while the huracarana is done at about a 30 degree angle.

[Fragelz]

its very much like a reverse frankensteiner

[AFailedApology2X]

thats a hurricanrana. not frankensteiner. 

[deviousimpulse]

It's the same thing. In Mexico, it's called a huracanrana (commonly used term now). Scott Steiner's version was called the Frankensteiner (just like Diamond Cutter = RKO, Torture Rack = Argentine Backbreaker, etc.)

[TeeEx]

Idiot. The Franketsiner & Hurricanrana are two completely different moves. As was said below, the Hurricanrana is done from a 30 degree angle where as the Frankesteiner is completely different.

Props to Steiner for being 270+ (even in his prime) and hitting that with no elevation help from his opponent. Usually guys have to brings his opponent up but Steiner didn't need it.

[ShaneMullaney]

he invented the move

[ShaneMullaney]

Fair enough if that's true, it's still an impressive move none the less, he popularized the move, johnny ace invented the ace crusher but Diamond Dallas Page was the best to utilize it. I'm pretty sure Triple H didn't invent the pedigree double arm face driver but i wouldn't say he'd give credit to joe bloggs for inventing it, that's the way things go, life is a bed of roses, it's full of pricks.
