10 Wrestlers Who Will Never Work For WWE Again (And Why)
10. Scott Steiner
In the mid-90's, Scott Steiner started to move away from teaming with his brother Rick. As The Steiner Brothers, the tandem had been one of the most critically-acclaimed teams in wrestling for years, but it was time for something different. That's how Scott seemed to think anyway, and he would later become a huge singles star in WCW. Once that company went to the wire, he coasted on the independent scene for a while, before joining WWE for a second time in 2002. Sadly, Steiner never really looked comfortable as a main event talent in WWE. Several poorly-received matches against Triple H in early-2003 pretty much cost him his spot at the top of the roster. Released by the promotion in 2004, Scott would later have an extended run in TNA, once again returning to being featured heavily. The problems started here, as the man bashed many top names in WWE. Lashing out at everyone from Vince and Stephanie McMahon to Triple, Steiner wasn't shy during interviews. Whether or not his derogatory comments were simply to shine the media spotlight on him, Scott Steiner angered many with his words. There's next to no chance he's returning to WWE in the future, and it doesn't seem like he himself is interested anyway. In similar fashion, his bashing of Dixie Carter limits any opportunity for another TNA run.
