How can you not love Scott Steiner?

Do you realize that if he was even remotely like he used to be (early to mid 90's) in ring wise, he'd be my favorite wrestler.

Who is the retard WWE is pushing, or is he referring back to Eugene?

But yeah, I'll love him if he can just walk and have a believable brawl. Great comment about Goldberg. I think he and Bill are actually close friends.

On the roid comment: It seems implausible, but Tom Zenk said Steiner was never on roids. Keep in mind, Zenk had no problem trashing people. Zenk admitted that he himself had taken steroids. He said he knew Scott since he was 16 and that he was actually a genetic freak.

Once again, it makes no difference to me if he's done steroids. I just thought that was interesting coming from Zenk.
