WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including how he came up with his Big Poppa Pump persona in 1998 after he turned heel.
Steiner said, “Well, it first started like it was two different personalities. When I first came out of college, I was a college kid, happy-go-lucky. But when you’re in wrestling for a while, things change. Setbacks, people keep you down, politics, you get p*ssed off. So at that point, when I turned into Big Poppa Pump, I was very pissed off and people could just kind of tell that in my interviews because I was tired of the bulls**t of professional wrestling, things that happened behind closed doors. You don’t really know what’s going on.”
On being clued into what was happening behind the scenes in WCW:
“Luckily, I had some guys in the back doors that told me what was going on most of the time, but a lot of times I didn’t know. That was a real thing back then the older guys keeping the younger guys down.”
