History Wrestling / ScottSteiner

** People trying to touch his chainmail.

* GimmickMatches: Scott Steiner defeated Petey Williams in a chain mail on a pole match in TNA, the winner reserving the right to wear chain mail as their entrance attire.

* IconicOutfit: The chainmail headgear and [[CoolShades sunglasses]] can only mean one thing: the Big Bad Booty Daddy is in the house.

* MindScrew: In the above promo, he also managed to bring up astrological physics and quantum theories as a metaphor about how much his "freaks" lust over him. Oh hell, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOoXZe_S3wI just see it for yourself.]]

* {{Catchphrase}}

* TheBrute: For the nWo during his time in it, for team Eric Bischoff at Survivor Series and for the main event mafia prior to its acquisition of Samoa Joe, or maybe not if you consider Joe more of a {{sixth column}}.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Seriously, the only wrestler who's more cuckoo than him is Wrestling/TheIronSheik, and Steiner, at time of this writing, is still active.

** [[StupidStatementDanceMix Now has a]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJYNaj005ws rap remix]].

* PipePain: His WeaponOfChoice.

* WeaponOfChoice: Is fond of use a lead pipe.

* CoolShades: He even wears them indoors [[SunglassesAtNight and at night]].

* TheDreaded: The WCW locker room was terrified of him as he had the skill and credentials to hurt anyone he wanted, also he could be easily provoked so most people like to stay away from him.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Scott turned his hair bleach blond when he betrayed his brother and joined the Wrestling/NewWorldOrder.

* GeniusBruiser: Subverted. He graduated from a "[[FeigningIntelligence highly educated university]]."

* HotBlooded:

* SelfDepreciation: Surprisingly, Scott has a sense of humor about some of his more incoherent moments, and has been known to reference them in later promos.

* EEqualsMCHammer: Scott Steiner, Ph.D., educates [[Wrestling/SamoaJoe "Señor Joe"]] on how he has a '''141 2/3%''' chance of losing to him at ''TNA Sacrifice '08''. The numbers don't lie. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFoC3TR5rzI&feature=feedlik Note that all of those numbers, while still nonsensical, were formed from technically correct equations.]] It also should be said Samoa Joe did, in fact, win that match. Those are the kinds of odds Wrestling/JohnCena is known for overcoming! It should also be noted that the numbers were calculated with Wrestling/KurtAngle as the third man in the 3-way match. At TNA Sacrifice 2008, he had to drop out of the match due to injury and was replaced by Wrestling/FrankieKazarian, so Steiner's '''141 2/3%''' chance of winning was void, since Kaz didn't know if he could beat Steiner, but he was certainly going to try.

Scott Steiner, AKA Big Poppa Pump, AKA The Genetic Freak, AKA The Big Bad Booty Daddy, AKA real name Scott Carl Rechsteiner (born July 29, 1962), is an American professional wrestler maybe best known for his distinctive chainmail coif and multicolored beard, his obscenely muscled figure and his tendency to go overboard when presented with a mic.

* BerserkButton:
** You really shouldn't use the word "hurricanrana" around Scott Steiner. Because its a [[InsistentTerminology FRANKENSTEINER]]! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JODxnJapRo4 UNDERSTAND???]]
** He also hates it when people try to touch his chainmail.
** Pretty much anything can set him off, really.

* DentedIron: His formerly well-shaped pectoral muscles have atrophied in the lower center of his chest, creating a gap which became increasingly large as he got older: the cause is speculated to be nerve damage from one or more traumas he received in that location. This type of injury-induced chest gap, which has also been seen in other wrestlers such as Wrestling/ChrisJericho and Wrestling/TheUndertaker, has been nicknamed "Steinerism" after him because his case is so pronounced.

* KnowKarate: Well, he ''did'' do collegiate wrestling back in the 1980s when he started. 1998 forward, not so much.

** In singles, the Steiner Recliner, the Frankensteiner, and the Steiner Screwdriver. At the tail end of his second WWE run he used the Steiner Flatliner, and in TNA adopted a different piledriver (over the shoulder tombstone) but still called it the Steiner Screwdriver.
** In the Steiner Bros tag team, the Steiner Bulldog and the Steiner DDT

* MulticoloredHair: His beard

* BaldOfAwesome: Has recently been sporting this as evidenced by his wrestling debut for ''NWA Power''.

* BadassBeard: A badass multicolor goatee.

* WrestlingFamily: As mentioned above, Rick Steiner is his real brother, while his nephew Bronson (Rick's son) wrestles in WWE under the ring name Rex Steiner.

* WrestlingFamily: As mentioned above, Rick Steiner is his real brother.

* {{Mondegreen}}:
** In his big debate on ''Raw'' with Wrestling/ChristopherNowinski (yes, really), he opens by saying he's wrestled ''in'' a lot of countries. Unfortunately, it sounds garbled to the point that you'd think he said he's ''wrestled'' a lot of countries. Granted, [[Website/{{WrestleCrap}} Scott Steiner vs. Papua New Guinea would be a ratings diamond mine]], but...
** The famous "I'M HUNGRY!" promo from TNA Against All Odds 2007. Scott was at his most incoherent, and a youtuber [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ccog02xSIo creatively captioned it]]. It features Scott telling "Ned" to shut up, someone how he's "doin' him an egg" and "going Britishing", among other things.
** Telling Wrestling/KevinNash that he has no [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfvGECYB6Gs "Sympy"]] for him.
