Scott Steiner was purportedly offered a Legends contract by WWE, which would have enabled them to use his likeness, book him on nostalgia-driven episodes of RAW, and award him a place in their Hall of Fame.

Speaking to WhatCulture earlier this year, he confirmed that he'd turned it down, claiming that it was "basically illegal" and "wasn't worth the money it was printed on". If there were any doubts as to whether he'd accept a revised draft, he then went on to brand the notoriously prickly Triple H and Stephanie McMahon as a pair of "dumba**es" whose methods of booking and talent presentation are "sh*t". "F*ck them," is how he ended his tirade.

Besides which, Steiner was actually banned from the Hall of Fame ceremony itself in 2015, after an incident involving Hulk Hogan's wife Jennifer, who acted as intermediary for Steiner's death threat towards "Terry". Triple H would have deemed Steiner lucky for being offered such a deal in the first place.

Steiner, for his part, demonstrably does not give one iota of a f*ck. In the debut issue of our premium bookazine - on sale now! - he even went as far as to call 'The Game' a "c*nt".
