10 WWE Wrestlers Who Should NEVER Have Come Back
3. Scott Steiner
Scott Steiner wasn't in great fettle when he signed for WWE in 2002, but the whole point of wrestling is to obscure any failings in the pursuit of promoting perfection.
This was categorically not on Triple H's agenda during the 'Big Bad Booty Daddy's first feud. After weeks of a musclebro build that eschewed physicality, the pair sluggishly worked through a disastrously dull that existed to reduce Steiner's aura to that of a peasant in 'The Game's drab kingdom.
From there, he was forced into useless and unending matches with the Raw undercard crew before fizzling out completely less than 12 months on from his electric Madison Square Garden debut. It didn't even feel that out of place - there were many things that defined this era, but Hunter's incredible knack for normalising his viable challengers remained Raw's calling card until Batista and John Cena's inexorable rise gave him no choice but to finally step aside.
