Breaking News: Scott Steiner Finished With WWE
By Richard Gray on May 5, 2004 at 2:09 PM EST (From our own newsboard, at TPWW) Scott Steiner has been cleared to the ring according to several sources close to the situation. However, the internal feeling within WWE is that the creative team does not have anything for him. While most people would argue the SmackDown roster could use the extra talent, WWE management apparently feel that he is too “fragile” for a long term push at this point. Despite being healthy through most of his stint with WWE, there is a suspicion that Steiner’s body is just too banged up to depend on him for any major storyline. Expect WWE to let Steiner’s contract expire as it appears as if we have seen the last of him in WWE.

Heh. Okay, because he sucks??? But I'm sure you'll want me to explain, so where do I begin?
Well, okay, for starters, he has no wrestling ability whatsoever. Oh wait. I'm wrong. He does a Belly-To-Belly Suplex. How could I forget that??? ![]() |

I really think they should put him on Smackdown! and have him feud with John Cena, as a way of giveing Cena a victory against an established star. I mean it'd be nice to put guys over against a former WCW World Champion

They should not just let his contract run out. At least not yet. Have him come back acting all big and bad like he was when he made his debut just this time he's a heel. Then feed him Orton on the Bad Blood PPV in a loser leaves the WWE match. Orton could keep his legend killer gimmick going strong, that is of course, if Orton could get a good match out of Steiner...

I'm not sure what the celebrations are for. At one time Scott Steiner was one of the best athletes in the business. The back injuries and age have taken their toll. His work was poor the last time he was in a ring. His mobility is limited and he probably doesn't have a long ru left in him.
But he still has some name value. He is still a very entertaining heel. He still has a very impressive look. Instead of wasting the money the WWE spent on signing him, they should put him on Smackdown, as mentioned, and have him put over guys like Eddie Guerrero and John Cena. Or feed him to 'taker just so nobody iwith a future is getting buried. Especially with the dearth of heels on Thursday nights, this is what Steiner should be used for. Actually, that's what he should have been doing in the first place. |

So what's the difference between a Steiner belly to belly or a Kurt Angle one? Or 10 Benoit German suplexes? Or the same flying forearm into nip up Shawn Michaels does in every match?
Ever heard of signature moves? |

Of course I have, but are you honestly saying Scott Steiner is as good as Angle and Benoit? There was a time when Steiner was one of the greats, but now his time is up. |

Yeah, I hear ya. I can't get enough of RVD matches. Watching the Rolling Thunder and Five Star repeatedly every week for 3 years puts me on the edge of my seat.

I can't say the dude put on good matches during his stint, but if this is true, to be honest, I'm kinda disappointed. I thought he had a good image/character, and could have been used on SD.

Did I say that?
You said one of the reasons Steiner sucks was because he keeps using the belly to belly suplex (you wrote it, not anyone else). I used what you said and turned it on you like anyone with half a brain trying to prove a point would. Personally, I think Steiner is way past it. More to do with injuries than anything. I'm fairly sure a good worker could still get a good match out of him. Jericho did. I think he would be a fresh face for Smackdown and he has the charisma and buiid to get himself over. Next time be careful what you write or read what others write. |

And for record, you also mentioned his limited moveset. Everyone knows Ric Flair and Bret Hart made careers out of limited movesets in matches and they are two of the greatest to ever step in a ring. That doesn't mean Steiner is as good as them. It means limited movesets mean absolutely nothing outside of Playstaion games.
