Before becoming “Big Poppa Pump”, Scott Steiner alongside his brother, Rick Steiner, was one of the biggest teams in Babyface. In addition to his heel turn, Steiner suffered a change in drastic appearance which included a more nasty attitude, short -white hair and a cap hairstyle that he would wear during his entrances.
In an interview on “Talking is Jericho“During the Jericho cruise, Steiner revealed that he had seen the Coif mail for the first time during a visit to a Strip-tease club in Detroit for outfits for the girls with whom he came out during his entry.” I saw that that evening and I said it since I remember. A hole **, tried to be ad ** k and tried to piss off everyone, “added Steiner, explaining his change of attitude that came with his heel turn.
“The tag teams were a little down, so Eric (Bischoff) came to me and said to me:” Do you want to go back against your brother? “I said yes, it’s time,” noted the veteran, explaining where the idea comes from. “There was a ceiling (in WCW) (…) because you could not overcome Hogan and all these other guys, you knew, so I knew that I had to be the opposite of Hogan and the opposite of Scott Hall and Kevin Nash were therefore the fresh heels, so, as I said, that’s why I tried to be a ** hole.”
