When I say Steiner had the potential of a guy like Brock Lesnar, I mean he had the physical gifts Lesnar had during his first run in WWE from 2002 through 2004. He had size, strength, speed, agility, athleticism that was pretty mindboggling for a man his size. Basically, the guy was a stud and had he agreed to stop tagging with his brother during his WWE run in 1992, Steiner, again, may have been "Brock Lesnar" a full decade before Lesnar came along. I'm of the opinion that Steiner sabotaged his own career a bit by continuing to team with his brother when he had several opportunities to further his career as a singles guy.
In a lot of ways, "Big Poppa Pump" became a lot like Brock Lesnar is now: lazy, a shell of his former self in terms of his athletic ability and, in Steiner's case, he went nuts with the steroids and sacrificed that dynamic athleticism so he could look freakish. Was it a worthwhile trade off? Just depends, I suppose. Steiner could be competent on the mic as BPP when he didn't go completely off the rails, which happened quite a lot, but watching him try to wrestle was like watching paint dry.
