Short Bio
Scott Steiner, unbelievably, started out as an all-American boy next door babyface. Along with his brother, Rick, they quickly became the world's premier tag team, perhaps the best the world's ever seen. Easing through the WWF, and New Japan, they returned to America for a brief spell in ECW before signing the dotted line with WCW.
There, Scott established himself as the breakaway star of the two. After leaving Rick and Manager Ted DiBiase, he joined up with the nWo, cutting his hair, dying it platinum blond and renaming himself Big Poppa Pump (as well as seemingly ingesting a ton of steroids) and getting a new in-your-face attitude. Teamed up with Buff Bagwell for a while before splitting and feuding with him. Reverted to the tried and tested brother v brother feud most of the time, until a feud with DDP.
Spent most of his time nursing injuries, and was on the brink of retirement at one point with a back problem that required surgery, although this turned out to be a piece of Russo 'genius' and a huge swerve. Turned semi-face during a brief feud with Tank Abbott, but re-established his heel traits by turning on Kevin Nash on screen, and physically threatening Terry Taylor backstage.
Who knows why Steiner flies off on these temper fits, lord knows it's not 'roid rage, heaven forbid, but as long he's on the edge, it makes interesting TV. Even he doesn't know what he's going to say next, let alone WCW execs. Finally got the World title run he's been threatening for years, defeating Booker T in late 2000.
He lost that title back to Booker on the very last broadcast of Nitro, before taking some time to wind down before deciding on his future. He seems certain to sign for the WWFE when his injury clears up, and then we'll see just what Scotty is capable of.
