Or, 'Scott Steiner Tells The World That WCW Sucks'.

Mountain of muscle 'Big Poppa' Pump' was a volatile time bomb towards the end of WCW's shelf life, and it didn't take much to set him off. He loved any excuse to grab live mics and shoot on the likes of Ric Flair and others. On the 7 February 2000 episode of Nitro, Steiner went all out.

He called Flair a "jealous old bastard", said it was his nonsense that caused millions to change the channel over to Raw and openly talked up the WWF's product whilst saying that "WCW sucks". It was quite the rant, one nobody backstage could've seen coming. There's no way they scripted this or knew what Scott was going to say.

In one fell swoop, he dissed an icon of WCW history, gave the WWF some free promotion, said Steve Austin was the coolest star in the industry and blasted his employer for the product they were putting out on TV. It was incredible to watch.
