The health of TNA Main Event Mafia member Scott Steiner has become a topic of conversation with so many injuries recently occurring in TNA.
Sting recently had knee surgery. Jeff Jarrett was banged up after last Sunday's Genesis PPV. Robert Roode has an ankle injury. Kevin Nash went down with a staph infection.
Friends of Steiner tell the Torch in an exclusive report that statements about Steiner experiencing unbearable back pain are "false statements that tarnish his achievements."
Steiner certainly has aches and pains from a very lengthy career in pro and amateur wrestling, but friends say he trains harder than most wrestlers and does not rely on painkillers to ease the pain.
"Does he have aches and pains? Yes, however he does not drink alcohol or indulge in numbing amounts of painkillers like so many do to numb
their pain," said a close friend of Steiner's.
For many individuals and fans outside of Steiner's inner circle, it's often difficult to see a separation in his character and actual personality outside of the ring, which may affect perceptions of Steiner.
"Scott is a person with a lot of integrity, people that don't know him have total misconceptions of what he is all about," said one friend. "As for his fans, he obviously always try’s to stay in character because he likes to keep his personal and professional life separate."
Steiner has been limited in the ring, like most TNA wrestlers on the number of in-ring TV appearances, but he remains committed to performing at a high level for TNA.
"He really enjoys working for TNA and will continue to give 100 percent," said one friend.
