8 Wrestlers That Visibly Hated Working For WCW
7. Scott Steiner
Perhaps it's unfair to claim that Scott Steiner was visibly upset with World Championship Wrestling in the latter days of the company and his run atop it. Or at very least inaccurate. He was in fact visibly upset with everything, and was only able to ride it out as being a character choice for so long.
As the company went to pieces, scripts were as ripped as he was, and 'Big Poppa Pump' was only too happy to take advantage of the chaos and get a lot of thoughts off his chest. Particularly as it pertained to somebody he was a little bit sick of in Ric Flair.
Taking to the ring in a sequinned purple suit on the February 7th 2000 edition of Nitro, Steiner - mere months away from becoming World Champion and nearly a bankable longterm prospect for WCW, Steiner decided to use valuable promo time not to sell an upcoming story but air some pretty heavy duty grievances with Ric Flair. In his own words; "I watched a 53-year-old man - who has more loose skin than a Shar Pei puppy - come out here and say he's still the man, Ric Flair...supposed to be the limousine riding jet-flying son-of-a-gun, but I'm saying one time, you should (have) took a cab and used that money to fix your crooked yellow teeth."
Steiner wasn't done, and going up the gears, he took aim at his employers in ruthlessly brutal fashion.
He said; "When you (Flair) walked down that aisle...the people at home, they grabbed the remote, changed the channel to the WWF, and watched Stone Cold; a person you and your old friends got fired here, because you're a jealous old bastard. Ric Flair, remember this - in this wrestling business, there's never been a bigger ass-kissing butt sucking bastard, but also in life...and you belong where you're at in WCW, because WCW sucks, and so do you!"
In a sign of the times, 'The Big Bad Booty Daddy' wasn't made to pay for his crimes but was actually paid more for committing them. He was sent home with full pay, earning a few free weeks off the schedule for two-footing Flair and the company itself into the sun.
