Scott Steiner
Big Poppa Pump’s loose cannon gimmick in WCW that shot him into prominence, often blurred the boundary between reality and kayfabe...and ironically, is also why fans resonated greatly with his character. His size-belying athleticism in his earlier days didn’t hurt either.
But somewhere along the line, Steiner’s shoot promos started getting too real; fans in attendance were often abused and many times, the insults were too freely forthcoming and way below the belt in nature.
His inability in controlling his temper coupled with his balloon-ey physique often led to rumours that his outbursts were, in fact, an indication of roid rage. That he has been quite willing to physically attack fans at the slightest sign of provocation has done nothing to allay those aspersions either.
Steiner’s potential as a major main event player has been well documented, but unfortunately for him, so has the loathsome attitude that he adopts towards the fans.
