10 WCW Greats That WWE Didn't Know What To Do With

6. Scott Steiner

When you hire a musclebound "genetic freak" who is prone to verbal and physical outbursts and fits of unpredictability while wearing a chainmail headdress, what do you do? If you're WWE, you bring him in as a babyface and have him engage champion HHH in nonsensical feud that involves posedowns and arm wrestling contests before they compete in one of the worst WWE PPV title matches you'll ever see. Steiner's second act in WWE should have either never happened, or it should have picked up right where his WCW run ended €“ with him as a brash, loudmouth, loose-cannon of a heel. If they had played that angle, he could have come in and wreaked havoc on the faces in two-minute squashes and executed lead pipe beatdowns. Talk about going against typecast.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
