10 WWE Legends You Won't Believe Are STILL Wrestling
6. Scott Steiner
Scott Steiner was a tour de force in the early-to-mid 1990s.
He's the wrestler a lot of people associate with that era. The mullet. The preposterously multi-coloured garb. The somehow more preposterous physique. The dumb jock intensity. His superb in-ring abilit,y and how he demonstrated the stylistic shift into a more spectacular realm.
After trying much too hard to fit into the late 1990s era of controversy, in a way that was regrettably funny on occasion, Scott was finished as a wrestler by 2003. His old style was too intensive, his new physique too prohibitive.
His matches with Triple H in WWE were excruciatingly dull. Steiner was a physical wreck, and Triple H somehow made him look worse. It felt malevolent. Scott fared better in TNA, as he embraced his status as a living meme to create several more, but he was there to be mental, funny and intimidating, not wrestle great matches.
Steiner's meme-ness saw him venture to the irony indie circuit - in a fantastic punchline of a match graphic, he worked Swoggle over 2019 WrestleMania Weekend - but you'd think, after that novelty waned and the pandemic happened, that he would be done.
Not so: he worked a date in April of this year against Ric Caurdiea, probably because it was in Michigan.
