Quoted from a Kevin Eck interview with the TNA star. I posted this here because it is about WWE talent
Source: BaltimoreSun.com
Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun has conducted another interview with TNA star Scott Steiner. Steiner put over Hulk Hogan as "the main guy you have to respect" but had some really harsh words for Ric Flair, Triple H and Shawn Michaels. To read the entire interview, click here. Some highlights:
Steiner on Ric Flair: I always knew he was a piece of garbage. Flair never drew when I was in the NWA and WCW. Flair had all of his friends booking him on top and we were not drawing. People can say what they want, but I was there and we did not draw nothing. They may have papered the crowd to make it look good for a Clash or a pay-per-view, but we did not draw. I can say for a fact that Flair at that time did not draw a dime. And they say he was the greatest? If you want an honest opinion, you ask somebody who they would rather be on the card with – Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair. If they don’t say Hulk Hogan, they’re out of their minds
Steiner on Triple H: Look at Triple H’s career before he started (having sex with) the boss’ daughter: He lost to Ultimate Warrior in 30 seconds; he was losing to guys like Alex Wright in WCW; he lost to one of the Godwins in a pig slop match. And then all of a sudden he’s [having sex with] the boss’ daughter and he’s the toughest guy in the world. I’m not the only guy who thinks that.
Steiner on HBK: Shawn Michaels is one of those wise-cracking guys who would say a smart comment to you, but then if you face him, he would run and cry somewhere. That’s exactly what happened one time when he was cutting down the Harris Brothers – I think it was Don Harris. Finally, he had enough. He waited until Shawn Michaels got in the room, kicked everybody out of the room, shut the door, grabbed him by the neck and was going to pound the [heck] out of him. A tear came down his eye. He turned around, started laughing and walked out. That is Shawn Michaels in a nutshell.
Man I believe that Steiner is waving fire and trying to get some attention either for TNA or himself at all. Man he is really going to burn some bridges. God though the only other thing that I find scary is that waht if he truly believes the s**t he is saying.
Those steroids have really gotten to his head.

What he says about Triple H is semi true. Not sure about the HBK statement, but the Flair statement is just stupid.

It's his opinion, why bash him for it.
The Shawn Michaels & Triple H stories are 100% true.

I just got done reading this on WrestlingZone.com. And I did'int think he was THAT stupid to start rip'ing on Ric Flair. But I do kinda agree with some of what he said about Triple H.

When its comes to Triple H and HBK (from what others have said), he sounds pretty spot on.

After the incident at MSG with Hall, Nash, and Michaels.. he ate s**t for that and had to basically work his way back up the card and fueds. During the whole 1999-2000 run that he had, he was only interested in Steph and she and him but they were not allowed to see eachother so really what difference could it have possibly made back then? I realize that maybe now it helps to a degree but if Steph was say going out with Lance Cade... I doubt he'd be higher up the card just because the guy cannot work. Trips can work no matter what.

dont agree with the triple h comment,even though i despise the guy.....he is one hell of a wrestler and would have been at the top of wwe at some point
wcw was terrible in the early 90's,he cant blame that all on flair.just like you cant blame samoa joe for tna's crappy ratings.but if he means flair was a dick for doing what jeff jarret used to do in tna,then fair enough
we all know the hbk stories,theres tonnes of them from every wrestler who went through the wwf in the 90's.and there not hear-say etheir...........he was one hell off a prick

Even though I'm a HHH fan. What Steiner said about him was true. I remeber him losing to The Warrior at WM12 in about 30 seconds then fast-forward 4 years and he's beaten Mick Foley, The Rock & Big Show in the main event at WM16.

Well in all fairness to Hunter, the losing to Warrior wasn't his fault. Hunter had ideas for how he wanted to do the match, but Warrior said (yes, WARRIOR'S idea) was to have Hunter hit the pedigree, Warrior "power" up, slam Hunter, splash, pin. So, again with my little "hate" on Warrior, that match was his fault. Also, what do you expect for him to do? Not all people start out on the top. He worked his way slowly to get to where he is. If Steph helped him get there, great. More power to him. As for Shawn, I really don't know. I've heard how he acts backstage, but again, it's all internet rumors. You really can never tell what's false and what's not anymore. Oh and what he said about Flair is just absolutely moronic.

it's his opinion, who cares if we don't agree.
I do think he has some truth to what he says

Triple H draws money, and has for a long time. What about 2006 when DX returned, was they drawing money because of who he's marred to? And the same right now. The truth is Steiner is just another bitter, past his prime slob.

Steiner isn't exactly a rocket scientist, but there is some truth to the things he says. Heavily biased with a tint of bitterness mixed in with the truth, but truth nonetheless.
I don't believe a thing he says about Flair, but Triple H and Shawn Michaels are pretty accurate. However, Triple H paid his dues and he had the will to overcome obstacles and look where he's at now; where is Scott Steiner, by the way? Not a 12-time champion, that's for sure, and I bet Triple H cries himself to sleep because he's known as only being the guy who impregnated Stephanie McMahon. Right...
As for Shawn, everybody knows he was a massive prick prior to his being born-again, so what's new? Shawn made a good name for himself, not exactly the most favorable, but he made a lot of money and is living well off of it now. Same goes for Triple H.
I never have cared much for guys who piss and moan about other people because it makes them look pathetic and bitter. Now, I'm a huge fan of late 80s-early 90s Steiner, but ever since he let all of those steroids go to his brain, he's just not even worth listening to.

I agree with everything he said to an extent. It all has some truth.

Well that sounds crazy. Funny too.
Scott Steiner never won a world title until he was super hulk. Yet he acts like Triple h never won a title before dating Steph. He was one of the biggest stars during the monday night wars. Flair has held more world titles and was very respectful at The Hall of Fame thanking practically everyone. Shawn Michaels was seen praying in a corner while Triple H got someone in the crowd too flash him. He also has a greater list of losses since his return in 2002 then wins. Yeah I could see Scotty making stuff up or trying to get publicity. Overall I think he is just jealous cause he never won the WWE Championship.

The truth is Steiner is just another bitter, past his prime slob. He doesn't say he drew more money when he got married, he says he started winning the title and became a main eventer because of who he is married to.
