I was trying so hard to find Youtube vids of Steamer's arm drag or an arm drag montage, but they're very hard to come by. Thankfully, the arm drag wasn't the only move that Steamboat did exceptionally well. The Dragon was also very well known for his flying body press from the top rope. One of the innovators of the modern highspot offense, Steamboat's body press still stands today as one of the most beautiful and technically sound ones in the game's history. Look for it at around the end of this clip. Sorry for the bad video quality, but it was the best I could find in short notice. You'll also notice one of his worse arm drags, plus his classic "skin the cat" spot as well:
EDIT: OOPS! The one I originally posted is Ricky Jr.'s body press. Like father, like son. I'll leave it up because it's as good as his daddy's:
