ACWORTH, GA -- Legendary pro wrestler Scott Steiner is Shoney's newest franchisee, and their Acworth restaurant will celebrate a grand opening on Tuesday, April 12.

Steiner, an Acworth resident himself, will be on hand to sign autographs at the opening, along with another well-known wrestling star, Kevin Nash. Guests will receive a free slice of Shoney’s Hot Fudge Cake. Also, Steiner, along with professional wrestler and actor Kevin Nash, will be available for autographs.

The 6,000-square-foot restaurant is located at 1129 GA-92 (Highway 92, exit 277 off of I-75) in Acworth.

Steiner and wife Christa have been wanting to open a Shoney’s for years so when the opportunity arose to rebuild an existing one in the community where they live, they jumped on it. The Rechsteiners are active in the local community, with Christa volunteering for the PTA and Scott coaching 6th grade football.

In September 2015, Steiner drove the bulldozer that helped demolish an older Shoney’s in order to accommodate a brand new Shoney’s and a fresh start for the brand in Acworth.

In addition to Steiner and Nash, Kennesaw State Football coaches and players will take part in the grand opening festivities.

[GeeTeeCee]

What percentage of success would you say this franchise has?

 

[JeffGrubb]

This is a bit old, but I love two things in this world: Shoney's and Scott Steiner.

 

[Data West]

Given their roots in WCW, Georgia really is the perfect location.

I want to go.

 

[Slayven]

Damn two things that peaked in the early 90s

 

[Ordinaryundone]

I, for one, am absolutely ready for a plate of Big Poppa Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes.

[TimeEffect]

Is it really a good idea for a restaurant to be associated with wrestlers from the 90s? What will the average person think?

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

I, for one, am absolutely ready for a plate of Big Poppa Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes.

They need to have a cocktail called "Juice".

 

[Dinokill]

The Genetic Freak combo please

 

[mreddie]

HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME, YOUR CAKE IS UP!

Is it really a good idea for a restaurant to be associated with wrestlers from the 90s? What will the average person think?

 

[Coffee Dog]

Shoney's was my shit when I was 7, I loved the bear. Haven't gone back so my memories remain pure.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This sounds amazing.

 

[Couleurs]

THERE'S NOTHIN FINER THAN SCOTT'S DINER

I hope his menu is in all caps since I can't picture him doing anything other than yelling

141⅔% chance you'll ask for seconds

[Violence Jack]

Oh Acworth. How I remember my hometown so fondly (not really).

I used to work out with Scott and Rick Steiner at a gym in Marietta when I was in high school. That was one huge, angry motherfucker.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

 

[Parallax]

Buff bagwell? Throw it in the trash

 

[Fox318]

 

[darkside31337]

I hope the gratuity line on the receipts incorporates Scott Steiner math.

I dont think I have ever heard Scott talk like a normal person before.

 

[mreddie]

Steiner is..."a man who witnessed the incident."

Not HOLY SHIT, IT'S BIG POPPA PUMP!

 

[cr0w]

I CAN SEE I HAVE YOU ALL MESMERMIZED BY MY DAILY SPECIALS

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

This thread is now about pro wrestling restaurants

 

[The Albatross]

Is that Rick Steiner out front...?

 

[mreddie]

I CAN SEE I HAVE YOU ALL MESMERMIZED BY MY DAILY SPECIALS

MY PLACE IS A PHENANAHNAH

the very same

Please tell me he won.

 

[Data West]

Is that Rick Steiner out front...?

the very same

First he no-sells like he doesn't know who BPP is, then he says "local restaurant and doesn't even give him a free promo

Dante Rezulli on Vince's payroll confirmed

 

[DarkArterialGore]

Buff Bagwell near my food...no thanks.

 

[Hycran]

Buff Bagwell near my food...no thanks.

Someone here is clearly jealous that they are not buff, as well as not the stuff

 

[Revolver]

I thought Buff Bagwell was a gigolo these days. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my food or family.

 

[Data West]

This isn't a very neogaf way of thinking

 

[HStallion]

I wish the Macho Man had lived and opened up an Outback Steakhouse. BLOOMIN OH YEAH!

 

[Revolver]

This isn't a very neogaf way of thinking

Just saying. Doesn't seem like a great image for a family restaurant.

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

SHONEY'S

NOW WITH 100X MORE HOOCHIE MAMAS

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Just saying. Doesn't seem like a great image for a family restaurant.

Who could possibly be more family friendly than the Big Bad Booty Daddy?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I thought Buff Bagwell was a gigolo these days. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my food or family.

Gigilo shaming should not be tolerated on a forum as civilized as NeoGaf. Your family wishes it was Buff Bagwell.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

SENIOR JOE.

Bet he's wrestled a lotta restaurants.

FREE DRINKS FOR ALL THE FREAKS OUT THERE!

 

[Norris1020]

My folks went there opening weekend because they're crazy. Of course it was beyond packed. Oh and they built a bar (I'm not talking just breakfast) in there but pending their liquor license.

Was expecting to see footage of Steiner beating Hogan over the head with his own wig.

 

[Grifter]

the very same

Can a man be naked without his ear guards? Because this man is naked.

 

[Freshmaker]

Someone here is clearly jealous that they are not buff, as well as not the stuff

If his mom watched me eat from the top of a forklift... Maybe.

 

[rambis]

What percentage of success would you say this franchise has?

This should probably do well. Shoneys does pretty well here and this one has a little extra interest being his store.

 

[Neverfade]

Damn two things that peaked in the early 90s

Did somebody say... peaks?

What's the freak count like in Acworth?

Plus, he should keep Nash on hand to book.

 

[Ridley327]

This has been open for a few weeks now, and it's been packed during lunch and dinner hours. I can only imagine what it's like today when you've got two of the best-known members of the NWO and free slices of fudge cake to go around.
