Saints rookie Brock Rechsteiner pays homage to WWE Hall of Fame father

It’s not every day thing that an NFL rookie can grab his father’s World Championship Wrestling title belt for a preseason photo op.

However, Saints rookie receiver Brock Rechsteiner may have potentially set a new bar for rookie photoshoots, as he paid homage to his WWE Hall of Fame father, Scott Steiner.

The name may be familiar to wrestling fans over 25, as Steiner, real name Scott Rechsteiner, was a weekly fixture on WCW television in the 1980s and 90s alongside his brother Rick as the Hall of Fame tag team, The Steiner Bros.

After disbanding from the duo, Steiner would go on to become a singles wrestler in WCW, before the company would later go under, forcing the former WCW Champion to head back to the WWF before finally settling down in Total Nonstop Action (TNA) wrestling in Florida.

Rechsteiner, an undrafted free agent, signed with New Orleans on May 12 after a tryout with the team following a stint at the Tennessee Titans’ rookie camp.

The 6-foot-2 receiver played three seasons at Jacksonville State, tallying 629 yards and seven touchdowns on 53 catches.

While his stats were not eye-popping, Rechsteiner has been highly regarded for his athleticism, and ultimately, was the biggest factor in landing a spot on the New Orleans preseason roster.

Aside from his father, Brock’s cousin, Bronson, the son of Rick Steiner, is a current rising star in WWE, best known under the ring name Bron Breakker.

So there’s certainly a clear path for Rechsteiner to the world of WWE if he were to make the jump from the NFL.

In fact, he’s made it clear to New Orleans media that after his time in the NFL is over, the plan for him is to pursue a wrestling career.

Troy Trojans lead Jacksonville State Gamecocks 13-7 at halftime.


β€œI want to do football as long as I can,” Rechsteiner explained to the media, β€œOnce that’s done, I will pursue wrestling.”

With the 2026 NFL season still on the horizon, the former Jacksonville State product will continue to prepare with the Saints, but for fans of wrestling, do not be surprised to hear about Brock Rechsteiner in the future.
