OK. Depending on your point of view, this is either awesome or insane. Quite possibly, it could also be the best, most awesomely insane thing ever. The year is 2000, Scott Steiner is WCW Champion, and as part of his gimmick, he gets to pretty much say anything he wants about anyone, at any time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=763Isvy65ws Though at no point having a match scheduled against Diamond Dallas Page, Scott Steiner just decides to call out DDP for a match, insinuating that Page is literally a woman and a "bush league" level performer. Page famously attacked Steiner backstage for his unscripted words, and Steiner actually won the brawl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TBtr5BS-Ts And yes, there's also nothing better of course than burying Ric Flair and putting over the competition, too. How Scott Steiner wasn't promptly fired for this promo is a question everyone should still be asking. It's amazing.
