10 Wrestlers That Vince McMahon Hasn't Forgiven
9. Scott Steiner
Scott Steiner’s final run with the WWE from 2002 to 2004 isn’t well remembered by anyone. His immediate feud with World Heavyweight champion Triple H was supposed to set Steiner up in the company, but their matches stunk out every arena they worked in.
Relegated to the midcard, then the tag team division, Steiner was released in August 2004 while in the early stages of convalescence from a significant injury to his foot that required major surgery. It was then that the real trouble started, however.
The ‘Big Poppa Pump’ character was a grotesquely exaggerated version of Steiner himself, notorious for his intense, rambling, trash-talking promos, and resembling nothing so much as the concept of ‘roid rage’ in human form. In real life, Scott Rechsteiner has taken every possible opportunity to slate the WWE since leaving the company.
In particular, he’s taken pleasure in slagging off Triple H and his wife Stephanie in multiple interviews, and not just on a professional basis: he’s called Vince McMahon’s son-in-law a douche, a p*ssy, an idiot and a punk, and outright insisted that he wouldn’t have his spot if he hadn’t married up.
As for what he called Stephanie? Well. Any value Steiner might have to the company is wildly out of proportion to the size of his mouth - and he made the mistake of throwing the hard C at Vince McMahon’s beloved daughter.
There’s no going back after that.
