Quotes by Scott Steiner
The best time in wrestling was with the nWo and the Monday Night War between WCW and WWE.
WWE offered me a legends deal. My lawyer looked at it, and it's basically illegal. It's not worth the paper that it's written on.
You know, Rock's a good guy. He's a great entertainer, and I thought we could have done good things together.
When I first went up to WWE in 2003, they asked me who I wanted to wrestle, and I said, 'I wanna go against The Rock.'
After college, I never really knew what I wanted to do, so that's why I got into professional wrestling.
The one Hall of Fame that I refuse to go in is the WWE Hall of Fame because do you know where it's at? Where is it?
