10 Real Life Stories From The Final WCW Nitro

5. Scott Steiner Was Worried His Career Was Over

Not enjoying his run with the company between 1992-1994, Scott Steiner was worried that he may not be able to convince the WWF that he was worthy of a job. Thankfully, Steiner had something which must have put his mind at rest, the fact that he would still be under contract to Time Warner long after WCW was put down, so he could effectively sit at home collecting a fat paycheck and doing nothing if he wanted. Working with Booker T at the final Nitro, Steiner confided in his peer that he had worries about his future, especially after his deal with Time Warner ran out. As if that wasn't enough, Steiner's body had started to break down after years of physical punishment, something which would become a problem for him going forward. On the surface, Scott Steiner is not the kind of person wrestling fans would associate with self doubt, but this was such a huge change in the industry that even the most brash of individuals were asking questions about where they were headed.
