Stephanie paid respect to The Hammer, letting fans know how respected he was and some of his opponents didn’t even want to get in the ring with him.

He did break Wahoo McDaniel’s leg after all. After coming up in the business very differently from one another, they came together as a tag team called The Dream Team.
