* BadassBeard

* CatchPhrase
-->"If you want some, come get some! And if you don't like me, bite me!"
* TheJannetty: To his brother Scott. Ironically during the time that he and Scott were a tag team, he was considered the more interesting of the two. After the team broke up however, Rick lost the feud with Scott soundly, floundered in the upper midcard for a while, and then turned heel. Although he had decent face charisma, as a heel he was a heat vacuum.
* LaserGuidedKarma: As noted below, Rick often shot on his opponents. So while working an indy match he decided to rough up his opponent Vordell Walker. But Walker, who was an accomplished wrestler himself, rubbed Rick's face in the mat. Rickliterally fled the arena.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Rick Steiner played an easy going babyface character for much of his career. He was also notoriously nasty backstage, often no-selling and sandbagging for his opponents, and shooting on them (beating them up for real) just to prove he could.
