Scott Steiner-MEM

[ITrippedTheShockmaster]

The Main Event Mafia is dead (Thank God. Another Vince Russo megastable idea up in flames). They've moved Angle, Nash and Joe onto other programs. Booker T is gone. If the only thing they can give to Steiner is a "I'll keep the MEM alive" angle, it's a good sign that he's all but gone.

The idea of Hulk Hogan Inc. going to the MEM is absurd. Why? First, because that stable is dead and gone (Hopefully).

Secondly, Hulk Hogan Inc. hates Vince Russo with every bone in his body. And I believe that the MEM was a Russo creation, so don't expect Hulk Hogan Inc. to give anything Russo creates credit.

Third, we all know Hulk Hogan Inc. gets whatever he wants and with everything going on in his life right now, I doubt you'll ever see him as a heel again. He just went through a very public and bitter divorce, his daughter's singing career is all but a bust (she's nothing but a B-list VH-1 "Celebreality" face now) and don't forget everything that went on with with Nick. The LAST thing he wants to do is look like a bad guy/heel in public right now.

As you may have guessed, I don't like Russo or Hogan. I liked Hogan back in the 80s and 90s, and I liked Russo in his early WCW days. I also don't like Hogan being given the keys to TNA, but I'm not getting on that soapbox right now.

Booker is gone
Nash is suspended
Angle is working a face program against Wolfe
Joe is working alone against AJ and Daniels

LOL.. wow, this is exactly what i mentioned to a friend yesterday, after watching the Steiner promo

I told him that i was confused and thought MEM was history but steiner keeps walking around talking about the group and wearing the shirts and things.. and i mentioned exactly what you just said about the members

I just assumed it was because Steiner's horrible on the mic and always has been.

He's cocky about himself as a person cos of the arms so speaks with confidence, he just has never known what to say so he kinda says any words that come into his head and gets a lot of them wrong. I figured he was just used to being in the MEM so said it out of panic... but he's wearing the jacket still. As retarded as he may be I doubt he fails to notice what clothes he puts on in the morning.

This is apparently instead a storyline and will likely lead to Hogan being courted or challenged by various big-name players (including Steiner) all at once to try and create suspense as the crowd cheer and boo accordingly before the Hulkster drops legs on all the heels and poses.

Most of you are over thinking this angle.

Scott Steiner has made a career of being a delusional meat-head that lives in the past. This is barely an angle. It is simply just Scott Steiner not accepting the fact that the Main Event Mafia is done. THAT IS IT. Hogan has nothing to do with it and it's most likely not going to lead to a M.E.M. 2.

It's very realistic. Wouldn't it be weird if ALL 3 members beside Angle and Booker T suddenly stop caring about the Main Event Mafia. Nash and Joe were okay with it but Steiner obviously isn't. It's in his character to be delusional.

I find it an interesting aspect to Steiner in a time where he otherwise would just be another guy right now.

It gives Steiner a much more interesting and bitter dimension. The Main Event Mafia is obviously dead, although they didn't really end it with the bang that they should have done. Now that it is done and dusted, they want to keep Steiner heel, so they have to keep him living the deal. It's quite good, and Steiner plays the desperado quite well. I sincerely doubt the Main Event Mafia will ever be anything else but Scott Steiner complaining from now on.
