NWO Twenty Years Later: Where Are They Now?

Scott Steiner was a scary individual in the ring during his prime years. He is no less terrifying today.

The way the younger Steiner brother would brutally manhandle enhancement talent during the '90s was stomach-churning yet nevertheless captivating. But he wasn't just about savage beatings; Scott had genuine wrestling pedigree to complement his in-ring barbarity.

Steiner was always more comfortable working in Georgia, where his talents were seemingly more appreciated and his place on the card greatly elevated. Tagging with brother Rick, The Steiners provided the stiffest competition for The Outsiders after the nWo's formation, feuding with the interlopers for nigh-on two years.

A tiresomely inevitable turn was just around the corner however, and sure enough Steiner betrayed his brother for the lure of Hogan's posse in February 1998. Membership to the nWo club seemed to bring with it exclusive access to, er, the good life for Steiner, as his muscle mass increased significantly in the months following his defection.

Steiner's physique reached scary proportions, as the man eventually took to wearing chainmail on his head because he didn't look ridiculous enough already.

In an agitated froth, Steiner was said to have threatened to kill Hogan. Don't worry: he didn't.

Today, Steiner is a vehement and regular critic of WWE's product, knowing full well a call from the company isn't forthcoming anytime soon after a series of overt remarks pertaining to potential steroid abuse by honcho Triple H.

Does Steiner deserve to be in WWE's (admittedly, generally farcical) Hall of Fame? Almost certainly. Will it ever happen? Absolutely not.*
