Scott Steiner to Retire?

[Hammy]

The PWTorch Newsletter is reporting that TNA star Scott Steiner has been telling friends backstage in TNA that he does not plan to work for the company much longer. Steiner is very close friends with Jeff Jarrett, and since Jarrett's TNA future is on the fence, it seems as if Steiner feels like there's no reason for him to be in TNA if Jeff doesn't return sometime soon.

It's being said that Steiner had initially planned to retire at the age of 40, and that he was financially secure at that age which means he doesn't need the money now that he's 47 years old and has been earning steady money with TNA and prior to that with WWE. Additonally, Steiner has been working through a number of nagging injuries for many years now, so it seems as if all things combined signal that he no longer needs to be working for TNA. Concerning Steiner's injury status, a wrestler once said in a past report that "If Scott has a decent, hard match where he takes five or ten bumps, he is feeling much more pain than theaverage beat up wrestler [and he feels it for up to] 24 hours after the match. […] His back is so bad, watching him go through a 12 step process to sit in a car seat is excruciating.”

Hasn't been good for years.... but really liked the Steiner Bros when i first watched wrestling. Did well to re-invent himself as "Big Poppa Pump" but never really liked the charecter and was involved in one of the worst matches i have ever seen HHH vs Steiner.

For his legacy he should have retired at 40.... but i'm happy he is financially secure. Thats not always the case in wrestling.

Good Luck but........

im pretty sure steiner has a really good real estate company that has made him very wealthy.

It will be a shame if he goes - his mike skills and in ring 'attitude' are real assets to TNA

- Scott Steiner is heavily rumored to be on his way out of TNA following this Sunday’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view. He is said to be on the bubble as a result of his friendship with Jeff Jarrett and because company president Dixie Carter has never been a big fan of his.

There were rumors a few weeks ago indicating he had given notice, but it appears management made the call in this case.
