Career

He initially earned fame for being one part of the tag team The Steiner Brothers with his older brother Robert, who wrestled as Rick Steiner. They won multiple tag team titles in NWA, WCW, WWF (now WWE) and other promotions making them considered by many to be one of the best tag teams of all time. After the formation of the New World Order in WCW they eventually split up, with Scott turning heel. His new gimmick was eerily reminiscent of Superstar Billy Graham's, as Steiner now dyed his hair and beard blond, seemed to bulk up his muscles freakishly almost overnight (creating rumors of steroid abuse). Steiner was also the last "real" WCW champion, holding the title from November 2000 until the final Nitro on 26 March 2001, dropping the title to Booker T, WWF then bought out WCW.

Steiner resurfaced in WWE in late 2002, destroying Matt Hardy and Chris Nowinski. General Managers Eric Bischoff and Stephanie McMahon both tried to sign him to RAW or SmackDown! respectively, and Bischoff was eventually successful. Once on RAW, Steiner quickly began a feud with then World Champion Triple H, culminating in matches at the Royal Rumble and WWE No Way Out.

Steiner later aligned himself with WWE Diva Stacy Keibler before forming a tag team with his rival Test. The team split up, with the former partners competing for the managerial services of Stacy. Test later defeated Steiner at Unforgiven, with Steiner having agreed to become Test's manservant if he lost. The duo competed as a tag team until Steiner suffered an injury and was out for eight weeks. At the time, neither man was being used much in meaningful matches or feuds. Hence, the WWE decided to buy his contract out. Steiner never regained his WCW-level of success in the WWE, partly due to the WWE not being sure how to use him, and partly due to the faster and more athletic wrestling style of the WWE that he wasn't able to keep up with (leg injuries had significantly slowed him down). Scott Steiner was released by WWE on August 17, 2004.

On August 28, 2005 Scott made his in ring return at an UCW show after recovering from foot surgery. That night he and his brother Rick defeated Jeff Lewis and Disco Inferno.

He claimed to have the "largest arms in the world". He has made a workout DVD available from his website.
