20 WWE Superstars That Hacked Off Their Hair

Few wrestlers have gone through a physical transformation throughout their careers like Scott Steiner did in just a few short years.

Steiner made his name as one-half of the Steiner Brothers tag team, alongside his brother Rick. Rick and Scott found success everywhere they went, including a run as WWF Tag Team Champions on two occasions.

By mid-1994 though, the Steiners had vanished from the World Wrestling Federation and eventually returned to WCW. Over the next several years, Scott continued to add mass to his already-jacked frame and before the turn of the century, he had seemingly gone through a complete metamorphosis.

Gone were the colorful singlets and the long dark hair, as well as the ties to Michigan University. Even his tag team partner was no more, the association with brother Rick severed. Instead, Scott became a huge singles star in WCW known as 'Big Poppa Pump', with incredibly enhanced muscles, a platinum blonde buzzcut under a chainmail headdress, and an entirely new attitude.

By 1999, longtime wrestling fans familiar with Scott from the Steiner Brothers had to do a double-take when learning that Big Poppa Pump was the same person. Scott's new persona was so successful that it led him to the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in November of 2000 and a return to WWE in 2002.
