Despite having made his wrestling debut way back in 1986, Steiner has remained active on the independent wrestling scene in recent years. In the past year alone he’s wrestled for Impact Wrestling, Chikara and the National Wrestling Alliance.
Throughout his runs in WWF and WCW, Steiner racked up nine world tag team championship reigns alongside his brother Rick Steiner, as the Steiner Brothers. His lone reign as WCW World Heavyweight Champion came in 2000.
We’ll continue to provide updates on Steiner’s health as they become available.
