Scott Steiner was the featured guest on this weeks Get in the Ring with
Phantom and new co-host, Junior. To Listen to the Interview go to
www.voiceofwrestling.com or www.wrestlingradionetwork.com
- Scott Steiner joins Phantom and Junior on the show. Steiner says he's
getting back on the wrestling scene after surgery on his foot. The injury
"slowed him down a little bit" during his WWE run.
- Talk turns to the recent passing of Eddie Guerrero. Scott says Guerrero was
“an addict”, and remembers him being an “addict” back in WCW. He also states
that he feels horrible for his family. When asked if he was ever close with
Eddie, Steiner says the cruiserweights stuck together in WCW.
- Phantom then brings up the WWE release; "I didn't really wanna be there
anymore, it was horrible. The TV was horrible - and it's even worse now!"
- Howard Finkel told Steiner that his debut pop in Madison Square Garden ranked
up there with Superstar Graham and Bruno Sammartino, yet "like they did to
everyone else from WCW: they shit on you."
- Steiner goes onto say, they did it with Goldberg and Nash, "...Nash was
supposed to be HHH's best friend," and "they never attracted the WCW audience."
- Junior asks if they purposefully went out to destroy the careers of the WCW
guys? "Yes, without a doubt." Steiner says he wasn't even allowed to do my own
interviews.
- Phantom asks the weekly HHH question. "He's like Flair, he's nice to your face
but who knows what goes on behind closed doors?"
- Steiner says he was first asked to come in at Wrestlemania 18 it was to team
with Steve Austin against Nash and Hall but the money wasn't what he wanted. He
ended up getting more than what he asked for anyway.
- Junior asks if Steiner had artistic freedom with his WCW promos, bringing up
the Flair skits. "I just ripped him, he's so easy to pick apart." After one
promo, Flair was seen in another room crying. "He's the biggest piece of garbage
you'll ever meet."
- Steiner says that even Phantom would be 16-time world champion if he had all
his friends writing for him and that his book buried him more than even he
could.
- Phantom compares cliques in WWE and WCW. Steiner says in Titan, you have to be
"cool with Vince, cool with HHH for obvious reasons, cool with Stephanie."
- In WCW; "Flair's buddies tried to bury NWO from day one. Flair would
rather have the belt and draw 1,500 people then not have the belt and sell out."
- Steiner will be appearing for the AWE in Canada for a two day Supershow on
December 6th and December 7th, www.aweheat.com and Rikishi's promotion in Italy
before that.
- Scott said that it seemed like they "tried to take the power away from Shane
(McMahon)" while he was in WWE, which is probably why Test got released.
Steiner laughs at how badly the WWE treated Test while he was recovering from
neck surgery.
- Steiner then tells a funny story about Dick the Bruiser and Ric Flair, and a
time when Afa slapped the Nature Boy.
- Scott then puts over TNA and talks about Bischoff, WCW, Lex, before
talking about the DDP backstage fight.
