How would you have handled scott steiners WWE run?

[subject2]

Im such a huge big poppa pump fan..his title reigns in WCW were the only thing keeping me tuning in during the dying days of the company...

His WWE run however was abysmal...i mean i know he wasnt that great in the ring due 2 his injuries etc..but the booking was also poor..

He is such a natrual heel bringing him in as a face was a bad idea..i know he was over like a face during the promos and debut..but all it would've taken is some fan hating promos..and 2 act like his usual aggressive self to everyone and he would've gotten heat fast.I really enjoyed his TNA run as they brought him in as a bullyish heel the way they should've in WWE.

Towards the end of his WWE run he wasnt too bad ..simply because they made him heel and he exelled at that..

I prob would've had him join smackdown and start pushing people around..attacking people during matches and backstage...also his argueing with fans one the way 2 the ring would've gotten him really over as a threatening heel...i also would'nt have changed his finisher...the temp finishers they gave him..flatliner and slop drop didnt look 2 good...if i had 2 change it i maybe would've given him a tiger driver.

Any Thought on how you would've handled him?

Better.

I would have brought him in on SmackDown, and let him work matches against guys like Lesnar and Angle and Benoit. That kind of wrestling makes Steiner look alot better.

[amsiraK]

LOL - sorry about that.

Seriously, he wouldn't have been my first, second or third choice. He was so inflated in ego and unpredictable by the time WCW crash-landed that I wouldn't have hired him.

BUT

If I had, it would've been as a heel. That's where he was better suited.

Put him on the mic and rant like crazy

PUT HIM ON SD so you can edit curse words or bleep them out but keep the crazy stuff in.

Have him squash people ala Umaga and build him as a legit main eventer.

For one thing, he definitely should've had some televised matches before immediately being thrust into a world title match. Also, no gay posedowns or pushup contests.

Even if they are Backlund-approved.

I would've had him be a wacko that randomly attacked wrestlers backstage with a steel pipe.

Have him break refs legs again

ahhh, those were the days

[amsiraK]

I think we could've left off with the "undressing Triple H" portion of his run, too.

[subject2]

ahh the pose downs..what..glorious memories :-p....i actually missed those so never got to see the posedown..are there any videos?..did the crowd act react to it or did it get a rosie/trump style reaction?

[JMA]

The obsession Triple H and Vince McMahon have with bodybuilding is a little creepy.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I don't think they were Backlund-Approved

[hardswallowjockass]

I wouldn't have changed anything. Why? Because Stumblebomb 2002 provides too much magic to just extingush.

[Ben Wyatt]

I wouldnt have hired him based on the fact he had gone so downhill in WCW's later days and the previous few years of floating around.

BUT..............

If I did hire him, I would have made him a killer heel, rampaging through the roster on Raw.

And yeah, the feud with HHH was very homoerotic and still causes me to lose sleep

[JMA]

The sad thing is that the posedown was on one of the WWE games.

Who programmed that crap?

[Hiroshi Hase]

I'd have kept him on SD, and at the very least have him work his way into title contention over a span of 6 months, winning feuds along the way. That way when he gets the World Title shot, it won't be rushed, like his awful feud with Trips on Raw.
