15 Things We Learned From Scott Steiner: Live And Uncensored

10. Reinventing Himself As Big Poppa Pump

Talk then turned from the Steiner Brothers to Scott's reinvention as 'Big Poppa Pump' in 1998. Scott loved teaming with his brother but realised it was time to do something else and decided on a complete reinvention. So he cut off the mullet ('it was hot back in the day'), dyed his hair blonde, grew a goatee and changed from the singlet to short tights. Hilariously, when he debuted his new look in a segment alongside Lex Luger on Nitro, many of the boys in the back had no idea who it was ('are you f***ing kidding me? All I did was dye my hair'). Steiner, as Big Poppa Pump, completely changed his style and approach as well as his appearance, doing everything he could to piss people off and get genuine heel heat. It worked. Steiner was one of the last WCW World Heavyweight Champions and was one of the most over acts in the company during WCW's final years.
