Enigma 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 WWE has bought Scott Steiner out of his deal and he’s now completely gone from WWE. Also, the trademark for "Big Poppa Pump" is abandoned for obvious reasons. credit: PWInsider Steiner's last appearance in WWE was as a participant in the 2004 Royal Rumble. Afterwards, he was put on the injury list for a hip flexor. WWE decided to keep him off TV instead of bringing him back, despite suggestions that they should have used him on Smackdown to put over Eddie Guerrero.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 You know, they never really gave him a good heel run, which is what he does best. I'd take Scott Steiner, heel WWE champion over JBL heel WWE champion anyday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHK 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 Personally, I'm all for trimming the roster down and getting rid of guys that are jsut taking up space. Now, that just means they have to fire about a dozen more wrestlers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two of the guys you mentioned, Angle and Guerrero, are way bigger stars than Steiner and beating him means no more than if they beat Test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JoeyStyles Report post Posted August 16, 2004 ...and A-Train still has a job. He is a WWE homegrown star and they take care of their own, this is the same company that got rid of Jerry Lynn while he was injured but they don't want to fired Test because they all of a sudden don't get rid of injured wrestlers.

Two of the guys you mentioned, Angle and Guerrero, are way bigger stars than Steiner and beating him means no more than if they beat Test. I agree that he doesn't have much rub left to give - he's remembered for his terrible matches with Triple H, rather than his previous accomplishments. However, they might as well use him for one match where Kurt can destroy him, it's a better option than just doing nothing with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is a WWE homegrown star and they take care of their own, this is the same company that got rid of Jerry Lynn while he was injured but they don't want to fired Test because they all of a sudden don't get rid of injured wrestlers. And he should have a job. Easily one of the more entertaining superstars in the WWE and he has still has potential to get better. We've gone through this before on this board. A-Train is both underrated and underappreciated. End of story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 They should have booked him as the loose cannon type of heel he was in WCW. You could even have him in a bodyguard type role instead of wrestling, and he could constantly wear the chain mail hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krankor 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 This is sad news. I actually liked Steiner a lot even though he couldn't wrestle worth a damn anymore. It was always funny during his matches how he would just call everyone 'bitch' and yell 'hah!' after anything he said. My favorite moment in his latest run with the wwe was a tag match he had against Steven Richards and Victoria. Victoria entered the ring against him and he just said, "What are you going to suck my dick?" Classic I'm going to miss those stiff clotheslines... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bitterness the Star Report post Posted August 17, 2004 Meh. Never been a fan of Steiner or thought that he could do anything relevent in WWE other than maybe boost a few ratings upon his debut anyway. Where's Choken One? He's the resident Steiner mark around here, isn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
