Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 When the signed Steiner they pretty much just got him for a Steiner/HHH showdown, which sucked. Then they ran it another month, and it wasn't any better. Other then turning him heel what the hell are the going to do with this guy? I know they thought he would draw, but he doesn't.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 I say turn him. The crowd is already booing the guy so you might as well make it easier for them and turn him. If that doesn't work then let him go. I have no idea who he can face right now at WM
Guest jester Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 They have to turn him, but he's going to make a very weak heel. He's got no offense and blows up so fast he will need to be carried. I think tag team is the only way to disguise his faults. But I say they let him work at the popcorn stand to get the best use of him.
Guest ViciousFish Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 They can cut their loses and release the useless dead weight ass. His matches with HHH were so god damn boring and they made me cheer for HHH as the lesser of 2 evils. He just kinda slept through the entire feud it seems like and him not wrestling until his debut at the Rumble and instead doing posedowns and shit killed him even more. Cut him. Vince- "Rey, you're cut. Kidman, you're cut. Hell, all cruisers, you'e cut. Scotty I liked your muscles, that's why it was so hard to cut you. Jericho, HHH says you aren't over, you're cut. Same with you Booker, we don't employ 'your people', so you're cut."
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 But I say they let him work at the popcorn stand to get the best use of him. Hey, buddy, those toliets don't clean themselves. They can't release him cause Vince hates to show that he's wrong in signing him. I wish they would look at a guy and ask "now can he add something to the company longterm." Vince has got to realize that there is no quick fix for the ratings.
Guest notJames Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Just do what you do with all the other dead wood… …put him on Heat.
Guest ViciousFish Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Just do what you do with all the other dead wood… …put him on Heat. Now that is classic.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Just do what you do with all the other dead wood… …put him on Heat. The he'd just be going over RVD on Heat week after week.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 HEY! RVD does not work Heat. ... yet.
Guest Rob Edwards Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 the only thing I can think of is some kind of an enforcer gimmick where he only has to do the odd move now and again
Guest j.o.b. squad Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 how about put a lamp on his head and rent him out as a street light.
Guest notJames Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Well, you know he'd never run out of juice…
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Well, you know he'd never run out of juice… *Rimshot*
Guest Redhawk Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Use him as an announcer. No, really, I would watch Heat, Velocity, or whatever show he's on religously. Can you imagine it? Steiner on the mic for an hour straight? The ratings would skyrocket. Speaking of funny announcers, what's Ernest Miller been up to?
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Yeah, cause wrestlers make such good announcers. Tazz Lita Miller and even Lawler's iffy these days. Tazz seemed to be ok for a while. Now he just gets lost in his own stuff and rambles on forever about something no one else can understand.
Guest KingOfOldSchool Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Speaking of funny announcers, what's Ernest Miller been up to? Contributing nothing to Velocity except one or two catchphrases, while having no chemistry at all with Josh Matthews and going through long moments of dead air with neither of them speaking. And I'm all for cutting Steiner loose. I don't even think a heel turn would help him, except for speeding up the process in which all the fans get legitimately sick of him.
Guest evilhomer Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Firing him is the best option, but since Vince doesn't make mistakes, the only option they've got is to put him into a position where he only has to show off his one move and the two seconds he can go. Put him into a tag team with a good worker, or give him a bodyguard type role. Which means coming soon, look forward to the dynamic team of Big Poppa Pump and Bradshaw.
Guest AndrewTS Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 I like the street light idea. He could also be a door stop. A security guy. He'd be better on commentary than Lita. Or do what he did on Raw: stand backstage and talk with the real stars.
Guest THE MIGHTY THOR Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Make him job to RVD in record time and after that give him a job scrubbing toilets.
Guest Crux Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Quickly fade him in the background...then he can be 'that guy who broke up the fight between so and so'
Guest notJames Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 He could also be a door stop. Actually, HHH is better at keeping doors closed. (This is too easy.)
Guest El Satanico Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 At this point other than releasing him the best thing to do with him would be using him as an enforcer as someonne mentioned. Turn him heel, give him a lead pipe and send him after guys for a Jericho type of heel. It would take advantage of his "that dude may snap at any time and kill someone" look. Also it would limit his wrestling to tagging with his "client" which would cover his problems.
Guest The Superstar Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 I think he's just fine drinking water and chuckling at the real stars of the show.
Guest Polish_Rifle Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 I think they should team him up with Kane and they can go on some Monster Money Making feuds with Taker/Jones and Albert/Show. Imagine the possibilities.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Imagine the possibilities. I see it now... 1/2* matches at house shows nationwide.
Guest Coffey Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 I'd just turn him heel and give him a led pipe again like in WCW. His matches haven't been as horrid as you people are making them out to be. So at the rumble he tripped and fell when doing the Tiger Bomb. If you ask me, it looked like Triple H's fault too. He tried to jump. Look at Steiner...you think he needs Hunter to jump? I still cackle when Steiner talks shit, does push ups and yells it's over jack. I do hate the Steiner Recliner though.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 What sort of contract did vinnie mac pay him? If its big money, they'll just keep him on in a big show type of role (ie just there) only worse.
Guest Space_Cowboy Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 They could always do Scott "Iraqi Sympathiser" Steiner.
