What Should Scott Steiner do when he returns ?

[Guest glennsoe]

Since The Miami Herald reports that Scott Steiner will be returning sometime this month, i wonder what his "role will be" when he turns up on tv....

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to how they can use him ?? Maybe let him be Eric's bodyguard or something

 

If i remember correctly he was a heel when he last was seen on Raw, but when was the last time he was on tv ?? Must have been over 8 weeks or so since we saw Big Poppa Bump last.....

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Steiner should dethrone Benoit when he returns to complete his epic quest for the title.

[Only The Strong Survive 0]

He should go back to being a face and feud with Benoit... Then again, if he continues to be in such poor shape he's been in since he joined WWE, I don't see any reason for him to still have a contract since the casual fans don't seem to care that much about him anymore

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

I'll have magically dreams that he'll regain his past form and rule the school.

I think that Steiner should still be a heel, and used the way WCW used him in there final days, by having him pummel guys into the ground like theres nothing left of them and make him feared again.

 

That was the magic he had in WCW at the end, when those serins went off anyone in the ring would be scared to death, and rightfully so cause Steiner would go break there legs with a lead pip and put them into the Steiner Recliner until they either passed out or he was pulled off of him by every ref in the WCW locker room.

 

So bring Steiner back as the most evil man in the WWE put him on Smackdown since Raw already has Triple H. Steiner can come out one day break the legs of two people having a match who arnt doing anything maybe Orlando Jordan and Paul London (Sorry for those big Paul London fans out there but its true hes doing nothing) He back knock them out with that lead pipe then break there legs with it kick them out the ring and go on a tirad on how hes sick of people overlooking him and that he will beat the crap out of everyone until he gets his title shot.

 

He can interupt matches with some more established guys like maybe RVD beating the crap out of him, and giving him a match against RVD the next week were he just squashes him and just continues to do that until he gets his title shot at Eddie who at this point is the only guy not scared of him. They do battle at a PPV Eddie gives it the old college try only to come up short due to Steiner clocking him in the head with a chair and putting him in The Steiner Recliner until he passes out making him the new champ and very over, and a evil, evil, man.

 

Thats what they need to do with Steiner.

I'd be interested in seeing Benoit vs Steiner for a short program.

[King Cucaracha 0]

Retire?

 

Or, failing that, Steiner needs to go to Smackdown seeing as he has somewhat of a name value left. He'd have more use there than getting lost in the Raw midcard shuffle.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Smackdown! doesn't deserve the torture that is a Scott Steiner match. Even if Bradshaw IS a main eventer.

[Guest Trivia247]

when was the last Frankensteiner you see him do? last i saw of it was a match 10 years ago in the WWF

He was doing them in 1999. Not sure about any after that, but I know for sure he did it in 1999 against Booker T.

[Guest jm29195]

Spring Stampede 1999 vs Booker T- he won the match with it...

[The Decemberists 0]

I know this is a really "marky" question, but...

 

He didn't *really* invent the Frankensteiner/Hurricanrana did he?

[Guest Trivia247]

Spring Stampede 1999 vs Booker T- he won the match with it...

the capture one when he throws an opponent into the turnbuckles and hits it or the one in the corner?

[reign 0]

Send his big ass to SD!...on Raw he's a jobber and doesn't really fit anymore...on SD! he can run over anybody..but no WWE title reign...just another program with Eddie that Eddie eventually should win...but he can definately be repackage as the monster he was and give SD! some badly needed heel heat.

[Guest Choken One]

I know this is a really "marky" question, but...

I don't believe he invented it but I do believe he was first American Superstar to bust it out on American TV or least for certain he was the first to use it on a consistant basis.

 

 

It's a Shame alot of fans don't realize that Steiner was 10X's better then Lesnar and Angle and I would be willing to say he would have been better then Benoit and Hart and Flair had he not injuried that Arm.

 

Steiner was what Vince wanted Lesnar to be.

 

As for now...I believe Scott Steiner has been gone long enough that the fans of Smackdown won't even remember his horrible run in 2003 as a face and the whole test debacle.

 

He would be an EXCELLENT adversary to Eddy Guerrero...Although it's network tv...Steiner can still be turned loose like he was in 1999 with WCW. It's crucial he returns with that attitude and lets loose.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

I know Steiner was really good in tags and had some killer singles matches but come on. Better then Benoit and Hart? That's laughable.

[LucharesuFan619 0]

Steiner vs. Guerrero is an interesting idea. Personally, I'd feud him with either Kane or Batista, since both guys are lacking a real solid feud.

 

EDIT: Jericho may also be a good opponent, and like someone else mentioned, if done right, vs. Benoit could be fun, too. Steiner - while he's getting up there in age - is still a pretty good worker for his age, IMO. Maybe use him to continue rubbing Randy Orton? I don't know...lots of possibilities...shows you how hard it is to be a booker.

[Guest Choken One]

good enough that Flair volunteered to lay down for him...Steiner never got to bust out the singles goodies that often before his arm injury but we all know of his ****1/4 match with Flair...he had that potential to be an incredible Singles star...just like bret did when he was tagging.

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

Steiner - while he's getting up there in age - is still a pretty good worker for his age, IMO.

And what's your definition of "pretty good"?

 

It kind of saddens me that even after the World Title push disaster and the never-ending feud with Test that made everyone involved look like idiots, people still can't let go.

[Guest Choken One]

That's because he was forced into Face mode...

 

I still believe he could work better matches as a Heel and extend that career of his. Besides, He's no worst then Bradshaw in the ring but at least Steiner has the name value of a former 3 time world champion and world-wide known name....Bradshaw has a shitty book and a tv time slot on Fox that no one watches.

[LucharesuFan619 0]

And what's your definition of "pretty good"?

 

Well, he can still move pretty well and he's in what - his late thirties? Hes got quite a bit of charisma and a fantastic look. As far as in the ring - he's not like Goldberg, even though he's his size. He does power moves, but he doesn't hurt guys as much as Goldberg. So I think he's better than a lot of the other guys his size, I guess.

[Guest Choken One]

He botched every fucking move at NWO and fell off the apron at Bad Blood...

 

How can he move well when he is doing that?

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

So he's good because he's just slightly better than a terrible main eventer and he doesn't hurt guys "quite as much" as a guy with a reputation for injuring others, and deserves a main event push because of these factors. Gotcha.

 

Hes got quite a bit of charisma and a fantastic look.

 

And the same was said for Billy Gunn, Nathan Jones, Matt Morgan, need I go on?

[Guest Choken One]

Um...Steiner can cut a promo unlike those four and again has more name value then Bradshaw does.

[Masked Man of Mystery 0]

Okay, here's one idea: Steiner comes back and he just destroys someone...say Val Venis or someone else really expendable. Orton gets the bright idea to make him the next legend to target, and so we go. Steiner just creams the guy, and Orton sells like his back got injured by the Recliner. Steiner gets into monster heel mode while Orton turns face and Evolution breaks up as HHH disappears for his movie and I don't know about Flair and Batista. So Steiner and Orton feud with Steiner getting big heel heat and Orton playing the sympathetic face who has learned his lesson or something. HBK has turned heel by this point, by the way, so he's full time with Benoit and we can go from there. Assuming Steiner can put on a decent match, of course.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Billy Gunn had charisma?

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

So ranting and swearing in your own language constitutes being able to cut a promo?

 

Christ, RRR was right in that discussion about Rene Dupree some time ago, some of you will open your legs and bend over for just about anything.

 

One last thing:

 

Steiner should dethrone Benoit when he returns to complete his epic quest for the title.

 

I've seen you complain many a time about the content in this folder, but I have YET to see you do anything significant to try and contribute positively here. But, I will answer this question of yours:

 

Billy Gunn had charisma?

 

It was said that he has/had; it's not like I agree with it myself.

[AndrewTS 0]

*stunned silence that some people actually think Steiner should get a title push, even on SD*

I was kidding, idiot (Which I thought went without saying, but then again you aren't very bright). The man had a -*** match with HHH last year, and if I had known people would actually suggest that I would have never had said it.

 

Oh and I've contributed quite a bit to discussions here. What do YOU do?

Reinjure himself and milk his contract.
