Maybe all three of them,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate fat asses, and Jeremy has put on weight. It\u2019s disturbing. \u2026 It\u2019s a bitch slap for Jeremy.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-631885731\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u2014 Steiner was asked about the differences between Jeff Jarrett running the company and Dixie Carter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s a joke,&#8221; Steiner said of Dixie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDixie was a mark who wanted to be on TV. It\u2019s night and day (with Jarrett in charge). People are excited. It\u2019s totally different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steiner said his favorite moments in TNA had to do with the Main Event Mafia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joseph Park called in and posed as a media member. Steiner yelled and threatened him a few times before he bowed out. Park was asking if Steiner was considering just canceling the match. Steiner said he would make Park scream for his brother, who everyone knows is the tougher wrestler.<\/p>\n<p>Steiner said that all Mathews was going to have to do on Sunday was, &#8220;cover the guy when he\u2019s unconscious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steiner was asked about what needs to change in wrestling today, and if he thought he would enter the WWE Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst change wrestling needs is to get rid of Stephanie McMahon and Hunter McMahon, they\u2019re two idiots running things up there,&#8221; he said.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3887739978\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cPeople always bring up the Hall of Fame, and I\u2019m not going into the WWE Hall of Fame. I\u2019m not going somewhere if there\u2019s nowhere to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGPS the WWE Hall of Fame. \u2026 It\u2019s in Parts Unknown. It\u2019s a joke. It\u2019s non-existent. Put it on the moon. The WWE Hall of Fame doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe WWE Hall of Fame only exists in the minds of people up there, it\u2019s a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steiner then asked where the statues are? Where&#8217;s the statue of Ric Flair or Mach Man? He then added,\u00a0\u201cThe statue of the Macho Man will never leave Stephanie\u2019s bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steiner on Hulk Hogan:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe tried to get me arrested for assault and said I threatened his life. And of course, WWE takes the word of a racist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHogan showed what a coward he really is. Luckily it happened at an airport, because it was easy to prove my innocence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steiner was asked if he had any dates scheduled past Slammiversary on Sunday:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t had any talks on anything past Slammiversary. But if someone wants to hire me again to beat someone up \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steiner on his favorite tag teams today:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t watch a lot of wrestling now, it\u2019s hard to watch. But I like the Usos, I wrestled their dad &amp; uncles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steiner said he\u2019s also a fan of Bray Wyatt, and he used to mess around with him when he was a kid. \u201cTo watch him now, he\u2019s awesome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to watch (wrestling) now. I feel bad for the wrestlers. They don\u2019t let people be themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Another follow-up on the Hall of Fame was asked:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m in the Michigan HOF, I\u2019m in the Dan Gable HOF,&#8221; Steiner said. &#8220;It was nice to be remembered by (Gable).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steiner on Triple H:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo my face, he\u2019s great. \u2026 That punk ass set up (their Royal Rumble match). We practiced that match. He sabotaged me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(HHH) did what he did, and then he tried to dog me for it. He\u2019s nothing but a punk-ass nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Steiner on change in body styles in wrestling: &#8220;When you go to the circus, you want to see the freaks, ya know?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wrestling has evolved. A lot of people like it, a lot of people don&#8217;t. I feel bad for the guys trying to break in now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank God we have guys like Jeff trying to give guys opportunities to wrestle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2716811425\"><div id=\"pwtor-3592116972\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Scott Steiner took part in a media conference call on Wednesday afternoon to promote Slammiversary, which takes place this Sunday on pay-per-view.
