Universal Championship Wrestling - "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner vs Damien Lesion

[@billyculbertson9305]

Scott Steiner is living out the story from Mickey Rourke’s character in The Wrestler.

[@stevejamieson8468]

I would say that Ric Flair is probably closer to that

[@outdoorcasey]

@@stevejamieson8468 Ric hasn't been wrestling in gyms with a dozen people. Id say Steiner is closer to Randy the ram than flair.

[@stevejamieson8468]

@@outdoorcasey In terms of wrestling in front of a handful of people, Scott is. In terms of leading a destructive life, Ric is.

[@BearFaceTV]

Scott is a successful business man this is his way of giving back

[@michaelmidax8108]

Fam, I think the same thing when I see older wrestlers at these shows. Fr fr. I often wonder what goes through their minds when they come out to these small crowds. Like, are they thinking "I used to wrestle in sold out arenas and now I'm wrestling in barely full gyms and school basketball courts?" It's was to think about sometimes tbh, I feel bad for them. But the likelihood of them continuing to wrestle for any other reason than money, is slim to none.

[@jaguarblack5051]

I've been watching Scott Steiner since they were Steiner brothers for over over 30 years and Scott is still wresting at 61 years of age!.....WOW!!....that's amazing!!

[@GamerForLife514]

I thought he was 50, whatever he is doing to be in good shape at 60 he is doing a great job.

[@The_Berzerker_]

Likewise, I been going to his matches since I was a punk kids back in the 80's. Great to still see him kick ass and ask questions last!

[@scotter6286]

I didn’t realize he is that old

[@jamesedmonds7519]

Bit of a stretch to call this wrestling. He's walking about.

[@Trendle222]

@@GamerForLife514 hell i thought he would be 65 by now, its been 35 yrs since i first saw him

[@blackbockz]

Its kinda sad to see legends like this BUT I also will say its wholesome seeing the kids excited and jumping for them.

[@RageyRage82]

Why is it sad? Because they're older? Please explain.

[@RxPrince1]

@@RageyRage82he’s saying it’s sad because a legend is going back to the very beginning performing in front of people at a high school gym rather for them to perform in front of thousands of people but hey I look at it like this, shit maybe they have to do this cause they don’t have any income in. Me personally if I was a wrestler that has been performing for years and when it’s time for me to retire I won’t be wrestling ever again.

[@ProBloggerWorld]

5:29 and the following seconds selling the move says it all.

[@RageyRage82]

@@RxPrince1 it's not really sad. I actually met Scott Steiner a few years back, helped him set up a sales table. He was actually having fun. People only get that perception because they don't know what it is like, or because they see people who are "old" as being sad for still living, and enjoying life. To me, THAT is the sad part. He likes to go around to do smaller shows. It's perfectly fine!

[@Name-zd5fq]

Well he was 56 here

[@FU29988]

He was about to put his arms up to flex when he was standing on ropes at intro, then he was like “nah, I’m tired”😂😂😂

[@TimathyKing09]

It doesn't matter how many people were there, what matters is that he still loves to wrestle and hasn't given up.

[@TimathyKing09]

That's matters,phone messed up

[@norms3913]

1 match that nearly killed him he ended up having emergency surgery

[@JeffGeorgalas]

You mean, he's broke and has no other skill, so he's FORCED to continue getting his body beat up due to lack of alternatives?

[@Omgtired]

[@juliocenteno5400]

Look I’m a big poppa fan but when it’s a super low budget federation it’s time look at the ring how small it is it a joke who’s this bum he’s wrestling against yeah

[@NakedHillbilly]

I get that he’s not what he used to be, but Scott Steiner deserves more than 30 people in a gym

[@marchess7996]

Yeah that’s insane . U would think with Scott Steiner there rather than 40 -50 fans there would be at least 100 even in a small venue . If Flair was there that gym would be full capacity. Which I’m guessing is around 300 people . I have a feeling this was either terrible marketing in local area or ticket prices too high…..Scott Steiner and only 30-40 people there (if that)……something is off

[@briankregg6329]

10 people to see that is a lot

[@Motorola272]

63 counting camera Crew. I agree 💯

you can see him through his nephew on NXT, Brawn Breaker he sounds like Scott and move like a young Scott Steiner would move with freakish ability. right now, he's just having fun and helping Indy guys.

I agree, I don't think people are giving him enough credit to be honest. He's 60 and after the years of wrestling he's still doing these events. It's better than doing nothing because he's doing what he's always loved and it keeps him active.

I was disappointed he had such a bad time in WWE, and his time in WWE ended before it even began.

[@thebroketube4658]

Your message has good intentions, but the delivery was fucking horrid. The fuck you talking about, "he reason these old school guys still perform is because this is all they knew…." You understand, Steiner could be retired? He isn't wrestling because he needs the money.. it's because wrestling is what he loves to do. That's like being an NBA player, playing 20 years in the league and retiring at age 40.. then watching that athlete hooping in a gym with randoms, and going "guys stay in school, you don't want to be like this guy.. only reason he is still playing basketball is because this is all he knows"
