It seems like Bischoff is always calling people who don't praise him or speak against him "bitter." And that's such a non-winnable argument to use. Its basically saying "u mad" to Steiner with a smarmy tone. And Steiner has a good point. Hogan/Bischoff are getting paid and taking TV time away from the lower guys trying to make it and getting their legs cut out from under them.

I don't think Hogan/Bischoff have made any progress in buyrates or ratings or affected the financial bottom line in any positve aspect. But they're out there on TV and they're making sure Eric's son is getting a big push at the expense of other actual wrestlers who don't have a famous daddy in charge. I'm pretty sure that with the horror stories we hear of low-card guys being paid poo poo and having to wait a long time for the little they do make that Garrett is being comparatively well-paid on time while having no actual wrestling skills to speak of. And Steiner saw something similar happen in WCW and so when he starts pointing out this poo poo all EB can do is go "bitter? :smug:" Obviously Steiner is not bitter, he's pissed off and calling out people he believes are driving TNA into the ground.

Goddam, Eric's arrogance and the way he's brushing this poo poo off pisses me off. gently caress Bischoff and Hogan's politicking.

Like all Steiner rants, he doesn't @ anyone, but I think he was mid-Hogan rant on this one.

I wonder if the Hogan sex tape wasn't put out there on purpose to provide a "clearly I like women, brother" excuse for him in the face of all the accusations of him being gay. Steiner sure does love to bring it up.

To be fair, Steiner was one of the relatively useless castoffs they brought in at the expense of younger talent and was given ample time in the ring to wrestle bad matches for a, compared to the undercard, enormous paycheck.

He also worked with all the younger guys(Styles, Joe, Daniels, Abyss).

Hogan and Bischoff suck but also Scott Steiner sucks. It would be best if we never heard from any of them again.

I remember him going out of his way to have a good match with Samoa Joe back when Joe was still awesome and he did do his best to try and get the young guys over. Wasn't really his fault that TNA creative are loving idiots.

Steiner did work hard a lot in TNA, and he was goddamned funny (and produced two of the greatest funny-bad promos ever as well as the POGO STICK moment). Also the Steiners/Dudleys feud was better than it should have been because of his promos.

Steiner is like Nash where I find their personalities interesting, but I wouldn't want to see either of them ever wrestle again.

There has to be a place in wrestling for an obnoxiously loud, ridiculously roided-up man that wears sunglasses and a chain mail over his head.

It's weird to think that there was a long period of time when we didn't realize Scott Steiner was loving insane.

It's weirder to think that period of time ended like 15 years ago.

Scott Steiner is NOT insane.

Scott Steiner is just an old school wrestler, cuts promos like an old school wrestler and has an attitude like an old school wrestler. The only thing I've disagreed with him about his Twitter rants was hating the Joseph Park character.

Scott Steiner is really awesome. Also, TNA would have been an awesome promotion with literally anyone but Dixie, Hogan, the Jarretts, Bischoff, and Russo involved. Sadly, they got the Royal Flush of terrible wrestling minds.

Wrestling is a place where people like him can go unnoticed. It's not healthy and he should get help.

Just think of if Dixie Carter said, "gently caress it" and gave Paul Heyman carte blanche in the company.

Not saying it would have been perfect but it would have been very good.

609 relates to the number of prostitutes that Garrett has killed before he got into wrestling to work out his aggression. Eric isn't pushing him out of nepotism, it's out of fear he'll strike again.

If Scott is taking his time out to do these long rear end tiwtter rants he must really care. I can never hate the guy for that. It is funny picturing him on a small rear end phone angrily smashing the keys for hours tweeting.
