Scott Steiner's math promo ahead of TNA Sacrifice 2008 is one of the most famous promos in wrestling and is still referenced today.
For those that don't know, "They say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try!
"So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 percent, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice."
Steiner says the numbers check out.
"I just thought about it. I knew maybe an hour before I start thinking about it, they told me I had to do an interview. I come from a highly educated university, so it just made sense. All the numbers made sense. And actually, there's a Harvard professor, I don't know, because everything you read on Twitter is 100% true, right? So he checked the numbers said, yeah, they added up. So I'll take that Twitter feed," Steiner told Chris Van Vliet on Insight.
Asked if he thought it would be so memorable, Steiner said, "I had no idea. I'm appreciative of the fans that still remember it. So yeah, and it turned out to be that people still talk about it to this day."
The numbers don't lie.
