Scott Steiner made terroristic threats against the hall of fame, and they hung up his picture there to thank him.

Actually, it was a picture of a CAW of Scott Steiner. Virtual Scott Steiner might not be allowed but the real Scott Steiner is a guest of honor.

Scott Steiner once showed up for a WCW show in Columbus, Ohio in his Michigan letterman's jacket and sung The Victors.

He's alright with me.

Scott Steiner might do something bad but he won't hide it. He also won't have sex with your wife while you're out doing something else.

He'll make sure you're in the room for it.

Gawker employs a lot of solid-to-great writers, including Craggs who, despite being on everyone's shitlist right now for his ridiculous Reichstag comment, is always worth reading on any subject. Their maliciousness tends to focus on people in power and hypocrisy in general. Their unionization effort could set a precedent for online writing. ETC.

That was a guest column and it was rightly mocked from the first comment

Sidebar that dude followed me on Twitter and self-published a (probably awful) book and wanted me to write a blurb for the back cover, so I said "this guy sucks and I didn't read this"

I Worked With Scott Steiner And Lived To Tell About It

quote:

Steiner was gaining momentum as a top heel when I arrived at WCW, and he was a unanimous choice to be on the cover of the next issue of the magazine. As the editor, I assigned myself to interview Steiner and write the story.

It was at that point that some office employees related horror stories to me about how difficult Steiner was to work with and how nasty he could get. There were some who were literally afraid to approach him, but I had a job to do and I was going to do it.

I was at the arena one Monday several hours before the start of that night's Nitro episode when I saw Steiner coming out of a locker room. I took a deep breath and went up to him.

After I introduced myself and said that I'd like to interview him for a cover story for the magazine, he said, "WCW Magazine sucks. Why would I even want to be on the cover?"

I responded by agreeing with him that the magazine could be better, and now that I was the editor, it would be.

"Uh huh," he said dismissively.

I told him that I was a legit journalist who had spent more than a decade as a writer and editor at The Baltimore Sun, but I was also a huge fan of the business. I asked him to just give me a chance. To my surprise, he agreed and we did the interview later that day in catering.

The interview took place in an era in which more fans than ever were smart to the business, thanks to the rise of dirt sheets, the Internet wrestling community and the cutting-edge but short-lived WOW Magazine. I didn't want to insult our readers' intelligence, so I made the editorial decision that WCW Magazine would be more of a shoot magazine than a kayfabe one.

With that in mind, one of my first questions to Steiner was about his character.

"Character? Who says I'm playing a character," he said with disdain. "I was born with a wild hair up my rear end. There's nothing I can do about it. My buddies in college used to say that one day I'd end up in jail because I'm out of control and have no use for authority."

He did the entire interview in "Big Poppa Pump" mode, but after a while I got the sense that he was fully aware of his reputation as a real-life bully who could snap at any time, and he relished it and was more than happy to play along.

When I asked him his thoughts on Hogan, he said: "I think he's going to be remembered for the old pathetic piece of garbage he is right now." Then he smiled and said, "Man, I'm really an a**hole, aren't I?"

In a story involving Gawker, Ted Cruz, and a probably mentally ill escort trying to blackmail the brother of Timothy Geithner, Gawker came out looking like the biggest rear end in a top hat.

But apparently much like every other mainstream website on earth they didn't side with gamersgate or something so that makes all the other poo poo they do ok? idk, you can read all about it in the hulk hogan thread
