10 Wrestlers Who Made Drastic Late Career Changes

8. Scott Steiner

Scott Steiner barely even looked like the same human being when he burst back onto the WWE scene at 2002's Survivor Series. The last time those fans had seen him in a company ring, Scott had a mullet, less muscle and was working a tag gimmick with his brother Rick.

By '02, he was "Big Poppa Pump", a muscled-up genetic freak(zilla) who spoke of pleasing every woman he came into contact with and beating the snot out of any man who stood in his way. Just a slight change then.

Scott's image switch had turned him into one of WCW's biggest heels between 1998-2001. It was an incredible sight to see the soft-spoken sibling with amateur wrestling acumen turn into a lewd, in-your-face monster who wore chain mail to the ring and stopped mid-match to do some press-ups.

12 years after bounding onto the independent scene in 1986 as a shy younger brother to Rick, Scotty underwent a severe character change. Lord only knows what he could have achieved had injuries not taken their toll by the time he made a WWE comeback.
