Scott Steiner Net Worth 2020, Bio, Age, Height

It’s hard to believe that the Scott Steiner who dominated the best teams in the world with his brother Rick and the Scott Steiner who had the nickname “Big Bad Booty Daddy” is the same person.

But over a career spanning over three decades, the University of Michigan champion has had his grip on the world of wrestling both as an innovative member of the Steiner Brothers and as the big mouth addicted to gyms, bodybuilding that had dyed white in order to reinvent itself as an aggressive man to women, the “Big Poppa Pump.”

Early Life

Scott Carl Rechsteiner was born on July 29, 1962, in Bay City, Michigan. In high school, he plays baseball and football.

He then attended the University of Michigan, where he was part of the Greco-Roman wrestling team.

After completing his studies, Scott decides to enter pro-wrestling: after a training period, under the supervision of “The Original Sheik” Ed Farahat, in early 1986 Rechstener is ready for his debut. In the first match of his career he faced and lost as a “Bulldog” Don Kent in the WWA (World Wrestling Association).

On August 14, 1986, defeating “Great Wojo” Greg Wojokowski, Rechsteiner won the WWA World Heavyweight Title. His reign is nine months long: he lost the title on May 3, 1987, being defeated by Wojokowski.

Career Path

In October Rechsteiner wins a new laurel: in fact paired with Jerry Graham Jr., he defeats Chris Carter and Mohammad Saad, thus conquering the WWA Tag Team Titles.

The new champions lose their titles on December 6, being defeated by Don Kent and Chris Carter.

In early 1998, Rechsteiner left WWA to go to Tennessee and fight for the Championship Wrestling Association (CWA). Rechsteiner starts calling himself simply Scott Steiner.

The Road Warriors win the tournament, but Scott and Rick still make a good impression, defeating Doom and Road Warriors and losing only by disqualification with the Wild Samoans.
