Every Star Of The Last WCW Nitro: Where Are They Now?

19. Scott Steiner

Scott Steiner is surely the man to break pro wrestling's 'Never say never' rule, and it's fitting. The pioneer of the Frankensteiner and the game's most formidable hothead ever, Big Poppa Pump is his own man on his own path.

After a dire WWE run in which the company refused to book around his limitations - he was twice the athlete Triple H ever was in his prime, which was the ultimate indignity - Steiner resurfaced in TNA. He worked around his limitations expertly, by masking the bangers he could no longer work by perfecting banter. His promos were so brilliant that they became and live on as memes. And he's still retained that stupendous ability to produce the pop; at this year's WrestleMania Weekend, a punter asked him to do a Frankensteiner.

"Why don't you do a Frankensteiner, you fat f*ck!" came the reply.

Also, he called Stephanie McMahon a "c*nt" and threatened to kill Hulk Hogan. They do not make 'em like that anymore.

What a guy.
