You should. Not only was he the better half of one of a great tag team, at the end of WCW, he was a truly great, great heel. He had more talent in him than most of the people that will be considered legends in 10 years such as Austin (Stone Cold, Stunning Steve, it doesn't matter - Scott was better) and Rock (Sorry, RB). Promoters were trying for years to get him to cut Rick and become a single superstar. I'd say if he hadn't injured himself in '94, he'd be one of the guys people said revolutionized pro wrestling.
Steiner was one of the guys who really got gimped by WWE when they came in. Others were Raven, Booker, and DDP. Look at that: Raven, Booker, DDP, Scott Steiner. Throw in Jeff Jarrett and you've got pretty much the whole main event scene of WCW near the end. And where are they? Steiner's gone, Raven's in the world title scene in TNA, Booker's jobbing to Undertaker, and DDP jobbed to Undertaker's wife.
And really, Steiner's too fragile? What about Triple H?
