Like "Tebowing" and "Griffining" before it, "Kaepernicking" is taking off across social media, with fans posting photos and videos of themselves mimicking the gesture in at home, in bars, on the street, at work or just about any other place. NICE LOOK: Jim Harbaugh's off-kilter fashion choice With all due respect to Kaepernick's incredible 444 multipurpose yard and four touchdown performance, trying to brand a move that pro wrestlers, NBA players and countless bodybuilders have been doing for years is just bad form. Here's a visual history of "Kaepernicking": Scott Steiner - The original "Kaepernicker" One of former WCW World Champion Scott Steiner's signature moves was his bicep kiss.

The 50-year-old pro wrestler should be credited with originating the move, although "Steinering" doesn't quite sound so cool.
This seems like more of a tongue-in-cheek ancestor of the move, performed here in 2007.
