Scott Steiner comments on making peace with WWE after years of bad blood

For years, WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner was a vocal critic of the WWE product. In 2018, Steiner was interviewed by WhatCulture.com and called WWE a “horrible” product while also being critical of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. In a new interview with DetroitNews.com, Steiner said the following in regards to making peace with WWE…

“You’ve gotta let it go, you can’t harbor all the bad feelings. You’ve gotta grow up.”

Steiner also talked about the development of his Big Poppa Pump persona…

“I knew I had to go in a totally different direction. So I just totally flipped the switch. The new character was a mix of what he had been keeping bottled up and what a decade in professional wrestling business had done to his mentality. In amateur wrestling, you really didn’t talk too much trash. Wrestling is a humbling experience: if you get too big, you’ll get beat. So I had always had that mindset,” Scott says. “But after awhile, once I saw everything in the business, the politics, I had a totally different mindset than when I broke in. I had a whole different attitude, it was more of a rage. And that’s what came out.”
