Takes one to know one, eh?

As 'Big Poppa Pump', Scott Steiner commonly put the call out for all his "freaks" during the audience participation elements of his insane promos, but nobody wore the label as well as the chainmail-sporting psychopath with bigger arms than most of us have legs.

And this was him as an up-front freak. The freak behind the scenes scared Diamond Dallas Page half to death in a backstage fight. The freak putting pen to paper on his promos came up with the iconic Steiner Math salvo. The freak at the gym created the freak on TV!

And the freak hiding behind his collegiate background was arguably even more terrifying - the million dollar smile and billion dollar mullet aesthetic wasn't fooling anybody, especially when the bell rang. The Steiner Brothers had a killer instinct that sent jobbers running for the hills, if they could even put one foot in front of the other by the time the squash was over.
