So for anyone unaware, Rick Steamboat has a brother named Vic Steamboat who wrestled. He wrestled in CWA from New England area, and IWCCW from the New York area where he was champion in both promotions.
But he never made it to the WWF, and the only time he was in WCW was as an enhancement talent on TV. I am shocked Vic didn't even make it to ECW in 1993 when Paul E. was bringing in all the IWCCW and CWA talent like Sullivan, Dreamer, Brandi, Taz, and even the "Boston Bad Boy" Tony Rumble.
I watched Vic Steamboat wrestle on YouTube and years ago on IWCCW TV and he wrestled great! He was technical, was a lot like his brother in his moves and mannerisms, but somehow never got the big break in a major promotion.
I wonder why he didn't make it like his brother did??

Yeah, Brain! You get it! Those early days of ECW, the NWA - Eastern Championship Wrestling days from Oct. 1993 - Aug. 1994 would have been perfect for Vic.
Imagine Vic Steamboat vs. Shane Douglas. The history there from Shane's past with Ricky would tell that story perfectly.
