7 Irrepressible "Bad Boys" of pro wrestling

#3 Scott Steiner

Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner

As a collegiate graduate and standout amateur athlete, you'd think Scott Steiner would have more discipline.

Much like his older brother, the Dogfaced Gremlin Ric Steiner, Big Poppa Pump came up through the amateur wrestling program at the University of Michigan. Scott Steiner even earned the distinction of being an all American division one athlete.

Steiner eventually made his way to WCW, joining his brother Ric in a celebrated tag team. The Steiner Brothers are the only team to hold the NWA, WCW, IWGP, and WWE tag team championships.

All good things must come to an end, however, and Scott Steiner split up with brother Ric and turned heel, joining the NWO. This was where he gained the big poppa pump moniker. It's also the gimmick that parlayed world championship runs. He was one of the few WCW stars to have success in WWE.

Scott Steiner's bad boy credentials: Besides having a reputation as something of an instigator and bully backstage, Steiner has had several brushes with the law. One came when he ran into a department of transportation employee doing roadwork with his truck. Steiner plead guilty to vehicular assault, but violated his court deal and wound up spending two weeks in jail.

He was also thrown off of a plane for causing a disturbance, started a fist fight with Diamond Dallas Page and Terry Taylor in the same six month period, and accidentally choked an EMT who he thought was a kayfabe actor. Then there's his propensity for mouthing off both on and off camera -- off script and out of kayfabe -- and denigrating a lot of legendary figures in the sport.
