- "The Big Bad Booty Daddy" Scott Steiner joins the podcast. Big Poppa Pump doesn't hold back! Scott covers everything from The Steiner Brothers, to his time in WWE, and everything in between. Don't miss this uncensored interview.
It's nuts seeing Scott not being nuts.
My dad took me to a house show in Houston when I was a kid "maybe 13." Steiner had a match with Christian. We had good seats where I could holler at the wrestlers walking down. When he got next to use I yelled, "I'm the big booty daddy!" When he turned and seen it was a kid he smiled, and got almost nose to nose with me and said, "holler if you hear me." Made my night. Even though he was playing heel he took a few seconds of his entrance to humor a no name kid. Ill never forget that.
That's awesome. I've been a huge Scotty mark for 30 years now, love this story
I worked a show and he was there , and when I say he ruined my image of who I thought he was . It’s a good thing he was hands down THE NICEST PERSON, he was over the top sweet and caring to everyone working there. When he asked me if I could get him 3 cases of eggs I ran out got him eggs and watched him boil the eggs on a hot plate and talk to me like I was his best friend. He is in my top 5 favorite wrestlers and top five favorite people. He’s been super awesome every time I’ve seen him or talked to him. He also remembered the eggs lol
Haha nice. I almost don't believe you only cause I can't believe he's having a normal convo in this podcast lol
Awesome story
some no name punk kid
There is about a 75% chance I'm gonna watch this twice, combine that with the 93 1/3% chance I'm gonna love it and 97% chance its gonna be funny and 88.7% chance this will be my favorite Steiner interview and that equals 118% chance that Scott is still the Big Bad Booty Daddy, holler if ya hear me.
You forgot to add Kurt Angle to the mix
Lolol
But he will always be 100% badass
This is a 144 and 2/3% good comment. Came here for my 75% chance to watch it again 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Scott Steiner never drew a dime
I dare to say that prime Scott Steiner had almost no peers when it came to in-ring skills. His move set was unbelievable. The fact that he didn't kill anyone with the Steiner Screwdriver is a real testament to his skills.
I fully agree. He was my favorite wrestler even before his singles run.
The blackflip press slam... fogetaboutit
@@Kshep84 unbelievable power. He was doing that to guys like Ron Simmons and Butch Reed.
Do you like in -ring skills?
@@wizcorn9958 We all do. Why even ask?
Because of this man, I made it my life's mission to get as many freaks as possible.....props to the big bad booty daddy
Don’t forget the peaks
Peak on top of a peak
Freakmaxxing
Because of Scott Steiner, I've made it my mission to learn english, and so far I've been unstobabluh
2 years later, are you at a point where you have freaks 9 days out of the week @usmc29er44 ?
Imagine that Kurt Angle was in the mix here. 144 and 2/3 percent chance of this being an epic podcast.
But you gotta wait for the bean to kick in first
But Kurt Angle KNEW he couldn't win the debate, so he didn't even try.
I’ve gotta dumb myself down!
Señor Joe
More like a 6 and 7/8 nyuk, nyuk, nyuk 😙
I met Scott once many years ago before his run as Big Popa Pump. He was the coolest and nicest guy ever. I actually talked to him for what felt like an hour. I totally get his attitude and how he feels about the business and why he did the things he did.
He's an odd bird but he has gone very far and made his money in the business.
I met him too. He was polite and cool and in amazing shape. Got some great pics too.
Holla if you hear me
@@seanmulcahy8287 post them
Good guy, good family Man, filthy rich. His wife Krista & his two sons are the nicest people ever. Our kids played basketball together & we used to see them @ games. Very nice & gracious family.
A side of Scott we rarely get to see. Thanks, Ben.
See, normally, you've got a 50/50 chance of seeing this side of Scott Steiner. But he's a genetic FREAK and not normal, so you've got a 25% chance AT BEST! Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix...
This is so rare! Very epic! It's great to see a recent interview with the legend himself. Let's make this viral, boys!
One of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Best interview of Scott ever
I met Scott at Arnold Classic bodybuilding show in 2001. Very polite and articulate and let me take pictures of him..Talked.for.about 15 to 20 mins and he was.super cool. Shook his hand and wished him continued success. Got some great pictures and it was a highlight of my life as he was my idol for his conditioning and his in ring ability for.such a muscular guy.
Scott Steiner IS the attitude era ... one hell of an athlete ... and funny as fuck. Legend 🤙
I remember the first time I saw him do the Frankensteiner, I was blown away at how agile he was in the ring and even more how smooth he executed it. It was perfect.
If anyone reading this that HASN'T watched Scott Steiner's run BEFORE the Big Poppa Pump gimmick, please watch his matches. He was as strong as Brock Lesnar and could move like Rey Mysterio Jr. Check out the Steiner Bros. vs Bam Bam Bigelow and Vader in Japan. It's fucking dope
Yep before he got to jacked on roids he was amazing
I was born in 80' and saw a lot if it ... Scottie and The Dog-Faced Gremlin were just fabulous and a true team . Was so fun to watch them and Rick was a great talent and worker as well . In fact he was my favorite of the brothers.
Just watched it, it was poo
@@Jellyfriedfatness Hell yeah Bro-Bro !! It was The Shit !!
@@slabbusterrtr7690 he was the same size lol
Scott Steiner's Big Poppa Pump was a great character. He brought the right amount of swagger and attitude with muscularity and aggression. I always enjoyed it when he came into the ring and yelled, "Cut the music!" Then he would put his right foot on the lower rope and go off on someone who wasn't in the ring. Great stuff.
Best interview with Scott I've seen so far.
I always got a kick out of Scott Steiner aka Big Poppa Pump. He really came into his own with the Big Poppa Pump persona. He had great microphone skills with Big Poppa Pump. Great career Scott you are definitely a Professional Wrestling and Amatuer Wrestling legend. I am not impressed by most pro wrestlers especially mic wise but Scott was outstanding! Thankyou Scott!
Great Interview!!!!!! 🏆
Scott Steiner (Big Poppa Pump) is awesome!!!! He had a great wrestling career. His promos are legendary and entertaining.
The host seems like a good guy!
Definitely my favorite wrestler. Scott has the strength of Brock Lesnar, the luchador technique, on the microphone he is no worse than Rock and Steve Austin. I still watch his promo to this day if I want to cheer myself up.
He was way better than Austin or rocky in the 🎙
We don't have another Scott Steiner but we need one.
@@tghooker5123That’ll never happen. Too raw for that lol
Smart on Scott to not do the Frankensteiner until he reached big time national TV. Someone would have definitely stolen it if he had done it in Memphis/independents.
He's an underappreciated genius naturally...
man the first time I saw him hit it on TV I was blown away. I loved seeing it anytime after that. I respect that we took it out when he was heel because too many wanted to be a cool heel
@@adamandanna he was a cool heel WITHOUT the Frankensteiner. He wore a chainmail headdress, he cussed out any and everybody whether he was in an angle with them or not, he referenced WWF and Steve Austin in a promo, he had two sexy brunettes accompany him to the ring, and he once came to the ring holding a TIGER ON A LEASH! If that ain't cool I don't know what is. Lol!
The Steiner Screwdriver is an all time devastating manuver. In the words of Scott 'he ain't getting up from this one.'
Rick's power slam counter was always a stunner. Great move.
Can’t forget ricks brutal steiner line
that one match against 2 japanese guys and they were doing a doomsday device,one guy had rick on his shoulders,and the other guy jumped off the top to clothesline Rick off his shoulders,but Rick caught him in mid air while on dudes shoulders and gave him a belly to belly suplex...then scott did screwdriver.iwasnt a big fan of them while in their prime. now watching them back they are awesome
@@brandtsavoy6123 Rick's powerslam out of the same setup was an awesome maneuver too
@@RobJaskula yes fucking sir it was
Rick used to turn his opponents leapfrog into a power slam as he caught his opponent in middair. Sick shit
"A PhD in Math..."
I almost forgot about the infamous Steiner math promo! Scott was at the peak of his mike skills then and always had the perfect putdown!
Great interview, guys! Have a sub!
Part of what makes it so amusing to me is that his math is correct. I don’t think the guy is dumb or anything, it just contrasts with the character so
much…….if that makes sense.
Give Scottie credit man cause he Ugandan with that and embraced it fully
The numbers don't lie and they spell disaster.
@@cmdc778 Well, Scotty WAS a math major in college, and post wrestling used his math skills with his brother to make fine money in the real estate market.
Not to mention: few would have the nerve to say his math was wrong!
Scott Steiner is the man. Such a great wrestling talent. And yes, the best tag team ever with Rick.
I agree 100%
Cmon, u don't think the new day is the best....they were #1 on the WWE list. Lol 😂😂😂
@@notkevinfinnerty4959 The Steiners are the best over The New Day any day. Their history in the business can't be touched by the New Day. Sure the New Day is cool but the best over the Steiners??? No way.
They're excellent workers, that's for sure
..but there is simply no way you can put them ahead of the Road Warriors, Rock and Roll Express, Edge and Christian, Hardy Boyz..I could keep going.
@@tombstonejones9581 Agreed
A true legend. The ability and moveset this man created were something to behold. Scotty would have fit in and been a top draw in any territory, but I would love to have seen him in Japan for AJPW against Misawa, Kobashi, Kawada and Taue. Salute to Big Poppa Pump.
His nephew is carrying WWE’s future on his shoulders! I can’t wait to see him win the NXT championship!
@@LilSteinyJr he actually chose that name so he would stand out from his father and uncle.
You have best interview I have seen yet of Scott, good job.
shows his skills/seamless and great open ended questions
I love Scott Steiner. The best WCW Champion. I got to meet him in 2017 in Rhode Island, one of the greatest moments ever.
WCW forever!!! Fuck the stealing, shitty WWF
So good to see Scott healthy.
He’s your hook-up, you FREAKS out there!!
Nice job Ben. And awesome appearance by Scott. He will remain a true stand-out in wrestling history.
Ben has a 33 1/3 percent chance of getting a Belly 2 Belly here ..... but there's only a 45% chance of that !!
Great to see Steiner more calmer and talkative now. Probably the most misunderstood wrestler of all time, don't believe the narrative of the internet fans who claim Steiner was a terrible Wrestler, in his prime from 1989-1995 he was one of the best wrestlers ever.
Umm, wut...? What’re you talking about..? Are you thinking of someone else..? This comment makes ZERO sense 🤨🤨
Excellent interview! Scott Steiner, one of the best!
Scott, is still one of my all-time favorites! PhD in math! I love that he mentioned Steve McMichael!! Keep the good interviews coming!
One of the greatest of all time
Scott and his brother were the first big men that I had ever seen that could move like cruiserweights. They were machines.
This is great. Scott is one of the best ever. He really pissed people off.
Scott Steiner was so ahead of his time and even for today’s standards he pushed the boundaries and is a phenomenal talent to say the least.. who could compete with him today not many if any at all #Legend
That was a real good interview Scott Steiner big Papa pump is the man
Much respect to Scott Steiner and I hope him and his brother Rick Steiner are inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame one day. They are one of the best tag teams ever!
@KD Swagger.
Given that his nephew is doing so well in NXT, I can see The Steiners being inducted at some point. Vince is banking on Braun Breaker to be his future, IMO, he would induct the Steiners.
They will never be inducted, since they don't want to. Watch Scott's interviews, he always harps on WWE being too cheap to put their Hall of Fame in an actual building that people can visit, just to name one example.
@@Tittymaster That is a valid point, I think a lot of it comes down to Scott being willing to sit down and bury the hatchet with Triple H and others.
@@SB-jn8cw As if it's somehow Scott Steiner's fault that he has no "sympy" for Triple H, Stephanie and Vinnie. 😄
He sees them as the narcissistic a**holes that they are, and isn't afraid to speak the truth (or at least "his" truth) out loud in public, which makes him totally incompatible to people who only accept admiration and appraisal (even if it's ingenuine), just as those three mentioned above (Shane might be the outlier in the family, but has no say in anything, as we all know).
He needs no money (even if he just might have lost a good chunk from closing his Shoney's due to COVID) and is already member of multiple HoFs (he was inducted into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling HoF with Jim Ross giving the induction speech, for example), so why would he "bow down" all of a sudden, especially after the years and years of personal disrespect shown to him (blamed for the bad match vs. Triple H in 2003, Levesque calling him "someone who never made it in the industry" in that interview with the pandering goof Peter Rosenberg, banned from the '15 HoF ceremony after being rightfully angry, like many others, about Macho Man being inducted by Hogan, etc.).
@@Tittymaster I am well aware of everything you are typing. I never said any of it was Scott's fault at all. I among many would simply like them to bury the hatchet so he and his brother get inducted there as well. You don't have to become best friends with someone to make peace but rather life is too short for grudges. These 2 were amazing performers, 2 of the best ever and they belong in the WWE Hall of Fame like they belong in those other hall of fames you listed.
Legitimate scary dude, his brother too, easily equal to Animal and Hawk
Same here I lucky met him last august and was terrified but he was so nice and I got him to autograph a picture of the Steiner math promo
Scott steiner may not be an angel, but compared to the evil Joe gacy, he is.
They bullied everybody back stage
Equal? They're far ahead of Hawk and Animal. Especially Scott Steiner.
One of the Road Warriors stupidly said wrestlers aren't as good as streetfighters. "...just look at UFC." Yeah, where the most dominant guys tend to be WRESTLERS. Steiners would kill them.
It makes me smile to see Scott chuckling about the numbers promo, so damn cool that he sees the humor and can laugh at the absurdity of that famous promo. I know he riffs on that at conventions and stuff to get a laugh from the audience 😂
This is the first interview I’ve seen with the Big Bad Booty Daddy where’s he’s really himself and putting it all out there as Scott Rechsteiner.
That was a great interview. Always love hearing from Scott.
Scottie has calmed as the Gass has left his body . Hope he's healthy and doing well because man he abused the Shit outta his body man .
Vince: "Steiner has a paralyzed dropfoot, så let's have him wrestle HHH who has a torn groin. It'll be a classic!"
And have them go 18 minutes. Like tff
@@theman6705 And for the love of god don't insert a third guy without an injury would could have worked hard to obfuscate their limitations.
I use to like both scott & rick steiner as tag team wrestlers. Both their gimmick were cool. They were both icons in their own ways.
I use to work out at same gym as Scott Hall and so many of these professional wrestlers are quick witted and so intelligent.
To cut promos, act, and be athletic, they are amazing.
I always chose Scott in WCW vs NWO world tour on the n64 cause his finish was the screwdriver
Some of my fondest wrestling memories was watching BPP on WCW Nitro. He was a ripped maniac. Me and all my friends would stop our card game when Scotty appeared on screen. We never stopped a card game for anything, even the time when some idiot passed out drunk in the back bedroom with a lit cigarette that lit the room on fire. It eventually was put out somehow, but that's how much we loved watching the Big Poppa.
Great interview Ben. Keep it up and you'll be one of the premier interviewers in wrestling. Kind of remind me of a young Mauro Renallo when he was with PRIDE. Still a little green but you can tell there is a ton of potential there.
Scotty is such a legend.
what a great interview. Its clear this interviewer really knows his wrestilng, and was prepared with some really thought provoking questions. I hope this channel can do more things like this in the future
Great interviewer and excellent interviewee. BPP 4 life.
By far the best body of the day and for sure the best intro lines, holla if you hear me big Pappa pump is your hook up!! Lol
one of the real toughest men in wrestling ,,very pathetic how the wwe let him go early..fantastic to watch him in wrestling and he could talk ..great interview
Had he staid at WWE, we would've never gotten the uncensored greatness that Steiner was at TNA afterwards.
Excellent and insightfully leading questions. Good job by the interviewer!
Great interview, Big Poppa Pump's the man
Best tag team ever and Steiner is one of the most innovative wrestlers ever. His Big Poppa Pump gimmick was so entertaining but when he was just Scott Steiner he was 100% pure badass. Watch The Steiners vs Sting & Lex Luger from Superbrawl 1. Two baby face teams who were close friends. No animosity or heat between the teams yet when Scott gets the tag and comes in and cleans house. He’s so intense and cussing up a storm. Awesome match and one of the best tag team matches ever.
Seeing him giggle about the numbers promo gives me life
Honestly I would’ve loved to see a Scott Steiner vs Brock Lesnar feud
Never seen Scotty this calm and respectful 😁 God Bless you man 🙏🏼❤️
Great interview. First time I've heard Scott out of character and really good stuff. A wrestling legend and yes: the greatest tag team of all time!
Scott Steiner.... nWo 4-Life.... Stay healthy family... God bless...
The originater of "suplex city".
Scott Big Popa Pump was one of the best wrestlers ever!!!
Scott needs his own podcast. Could listen for hours
When he called people "Son of a bitch" it always sounded so personal 😂
Scott's the man. He would be in my dream Survivor series team
scott is a heck of a lot smarter than people think. He's an innovator and some of the things he did when he was young will never be done again
What a awesome interview, only wish it was longer!
That’s what she said🤤
One of my favourite shoot interviews. The host did a great job
Definitely one of the best Steiner interviews I've heard 👌
"I'm about to PUNCH you, man!" HOLY HELL you pissed Steiner off lmao
Great to see Steiner smiling
scott looks just like billy graham
I think you have the best interview with Scott ever
Scott Steiner is bad ass. The most legit pro wrestling personality in the world. BIG POPPA PUMP!
Scott Steiner is My Favorite Wrestler of All Time.
Amazing interview. Scott has been awesome and will always be awesome 👍
Steiner shows great patience with nerds
I remember back in the day he was wrestling in memphis. Always loved SS
Best Athletic Big man ever, Top 5 gimmick ever. and Best wrestling Promo Ever...Legend
The term "big man" is typically used to describe guys built like Bam Bam Bigelow or Vader. Scott didn't even start to get that big until late 1996.
@@ElmoKnowsWhereYouLive5150 Scott was 270-290 at 6'1"...Dont know what world you live in but even 250lbs at 6'1" is a pretty Big Man. Guys like Bam Bam are just Bigger Men...Point being, Heavy weights should not be able to move like Scott steiner. Could hve been an NFL Probowl G or DLinemen.
@@tacoabeast8385 How many frankensteiners was he doing at as you mentioned 270-290?... From a standing position... I'll wait... I have the entire 1997 season of Nitro on DVD, and not one of his matches shows him doing the freakish feats of athleticism he did in his smaller days, and I doubt he did them on PPVs. When he got bigger, he focused on power moves to highlight how strong he was. That's why he got big in the first place, he couldn't do that style anymore, I forget where I read that at.
Edit: I also have the entire 1998 season of Nitro on DVD which I watch frequently and there's a total of ZERO standing frankensteiners.
You said alot of Nothing...Once again...Most Athetic Big man ever!!...Athletism is not Limited to the Freakin Frankinsteiner move...you wringled rhinoceros pizzle...Its "My" opinion and your entitled to yours...you wierd Wrestling DVD collecting Nerd...
@@tacoabeast8385 um, I believe you mean "weird", not "wierd": Apparently I'm foolishly trying to debate with a child... Pretty weak of you to resort to lame name calling. See ya later, champ. 👍
I wonder what Scott thinks about how WWE is treating his nephew...
If they have any potential future stars, and I mean STARS, he's definitely one.
Scott was a force to be reckoned with 💥💥💥💥💥💥 people's all around the world 🌎know him
The Heel himself lady and gentlemen.
Top 5 all time.
I don't care what he says, him and Buff were insanely popular as a heel tag team
Met Scott at the ALE house in Orlando after a TNA taping, real nice guy
“Rick was 2 years older than I was. And he is in fact, still 2 years older to this day”
What an awesome interview. I love Scotts the man
Loved the sirens for entrance on wee. Holla if you here me!
That along with big bad booty daddy and freaks. He had a Following like no other
He
In same
Bracket in that manner like cm punk and y2j!
Steiner is one of THE BEST wrestlers ever to hit the ring and one of the best performers ever.
One of his best Nicknames ever was the night he came out with a cape and THE PURPLE WARRIOR was written on it. As soon as I saw it I started to laugh, his cape also had veins all over it.
You can guess why they stopped him from doing it.
Are you kidding me? Terrible worker notorious troublemaker and hurt people on purpose.
One of my favourite wrestlers an true innovator of or wrestling just for the moves he used too do 🇬🇧 🇵🇰 much respect too you Scottie hope you doing good OG
Scott Steiner will always be my favorite wrestler back in the 90s
Great interview. Ben Simon is great, Scotty, what a legend
Loved the Steiner Brothers tag team.
I would have loved to see them face
Yokozuna and Bam Bam Bigelow in the WWE.
You can't really do much with 'zuna but bammers woulda been sick .bammers could go
Great job on the interview. Big poppa pump the man no doubt
Scott Rechsteiner was born in Bay City, Michigan, on July 29, 1962. He was a folkstyle wrestler at 190 lbs during his time at the University of Michigan. He became a three-time Big 10 runner-up after finishing fifth as a freshman. In 1986, he became an NCAA Division I All-American and placed sixth in the nation his senior year.
Always enjoyed the “Big Bad Bootay Daddy” great 🎤 skills
Steiner brothers were the greatest tag team of all time.
Scott Steiner is one of the all-time greats 💪
Good job. You just earned yourself a subscriber.
