Oh dear... If the WWE is going for "shocking" on Raw... imagine what Steiner could do? Damn- he is going to Smackdown- Paul McMaHHHon can't get upstaged....
Craig Reade "Pool Boy"Detroit Lions! 2-4! I am so confused....
Yeah, he's muscle-bound in the literal sense that his movement is limited by all those muscles, his back is shot, and one of his feet is hanging by a thread.
But I enjoyed his match with Booker T on the final Nitro, his match with Goldberg towards the end was apparently a good 'un, and I'm looking forward to CRZ recapping his incoherent promos again.
JR had said they would not sign him until his foot issue was addressed. So he either passed the WWF physical, or McMahon is getting seriously desparate.

If they're going to do it, do it fast, and do it right.
Put the title on him ASAP. No paying your dues crap, he's older and getting slower, so do it while he's HOT.
Have him feud with Triple H for a couple months, leave the belt on him.... He's dominant, he's unstoppable. He can slaughter Kane too.
Then move him into a feud with a guy we KNOW can go with Steiner. That being Booker T. From the Rumble through Wrestlemania, all the talk on RAW can be Steiner vs. Booker.
While Triple H is busy with Shawn around that time, we have two solid big RAW matches going into WM.
Steiner jobs, and then you get him out just as quickly as he came in. A strong run to end things for Big Poppa Pump.
The time for the typical WWE "pay your dues" bullshit is NOT now!!

"See Nash, you can wear any Halloween costume you want to, but you know and I know that you're only half the man that I am - and I have half the brain that you do."
"Booker T., I'm sitting and listening to you in the back talking all your jive, and to be quite honest with you, I don't understand a word you're saying. You come out here and say save the drama for your momma, 'cause she don't know how much her welfare cheque is, I don't understand that. And don't hate the player, hate my momma 'cause she works on a street corner for $1.95 an hour, I don't understand that. So what I'm saying to you is, I need the ebonics handbook to understand your ass! So understand this, at Halloween Havoc, the only reason you're champ now is 'cause you've never wrestled me - at Halloween Havoc, I guarantee I'm gonna beat your ass - I'm gonna knock you're ass out."
"You know, Ric Flair, you're taking your job as CEO way too personal, and I know the reason why. See when you were champion, they said you were just averaged. See, when I'm the champion now, they say I'm the genetic freak. I'M the man with the largest arms in the world - you, you were just averaged. See, when you were champion, you squeaked by victories - me, I dominate - I destroy, because I'm the real deal! And now, you find out as being CEO is a lot more difficult than you thought. So you can't find enough wrestlers back there brave enough to face me. Well I got an idea for ya - why don't you try to convince Diamond Dallas Page to get a sex change so he has the BALLS to come out here and face me. Now Ric Flair, you've been in this business a long time, and you have seen a lot of white trash, and a lot of jabrones, so when Diamond Dallas Page comes out here and says 'self high five,' do your job - send him back down to the bush leagues where he belongs! When he comes out here and says 'badda-boom, badda-bing, badda-bang...' I don't even know what the hell that means - send him back down to the bush leagues, because he's proof you can take somebody out of the trailer park, but he'll always be...white trash. So Ric Flair, I'm on my knees beggin' you, please, be Diamond Dallas Page MY next opponent - so get your ass out here and tell me it is."
"You know, Mean Gene, I really appreciate all these fans standing up and giving me an ovation... but to be quite honest with you, when I walk down that aisle, you fans need to close your eyes, get on your hands and knees, pucker up, and kiss the champ's ass! Now last night, I proved that I only care about two things - my freaks and my peaks - and when I put the hammer down on Booker T, I went back to my hotel room to a chorus line of freaks, ALL horizontal and lookin' for satisfaction! And there I was, standing there with nothin' on buy my boots and my belt, and believe me, I sent sweet sensations up and down their spines all night long until they called me the Big Bad Booty Daddy! And as I was in my sexual sanctuary, I got my mind and my body re-energized, and I came here tonight lookin' for a fight! But there's no Booker T in the back lookin' for a rematch - there's no Sting, the #1 Contender, lookin' for a title match, 'cause I sent their both asses to the hospital! So I said 'who's left - Goldberg?' Hell, Goldberg's still punch drunk from the last fight I was in - whatever happened to the sayin' 'it's easier to get to the top than to stay in there?' Not when you're me, when you take son of a bitches out! So I came here tonight with no opponent 'cause they're all afraid, I probably won't have one for a while - probably not even 'til Starrcade, so I'm gonna give you fans a treat - get down on your knees, close your eyes, pucker up, 'cause you're gonna get a chance to kiss the champ's ass!"
By the way, Storm's gimmick includes 1.) telling the audience to shut up, and 2.) occasionally making everyone stand for the Canadian national anthem. You know they don't know what to do with a wrestler when he's making fans stand for a national anthem. It's like waving a white flag and saying, "This guy has no personality -- we give up."

How I've missed him...
Seriously though, if he's healthy, or as healthy as he's going to get given his juice habit, he'll be a good addition, at least for a while

This is great news ... I've always enjoyed Steiner's persona. I think his backstage problems in WCW were overblown. He did what he wanted because he always got away with it. I doubt he'll try the same stuff in WWE.
Oh man, I really hope this happens. COuld you imagine the promo's between him and Booker T. Or if Rock comes back, how much he could rip into Steiner. It's time to introduce a whole new group of people to this roided jester. Let the hilarity ensue.
In other news, an idea that just hit me...The new announce crew of Raw...Scott Steiner and Stevie Ray.
Steiner on Smackdown! = bad news. Steiner on RAW = great news.
cfjb speaks wise booking tales. That'd be great TV. It's obvious that HHH and HBK can do great matches together, plus Booker and Steiner have worked well together as well.
And that leaves Smackdown! to be still the WRESTLING show.

Oh, I'm loving the idea of Steiner being around.
So am I, and I bow to your wise fantasy booking Buddah nature... but you know with WWE logic right now... *NONE* of that's going to happen.
I hope I'm wrong.
