Over the past couple of days Hulk Hogan's inflammatory comments have elicited a number of reactions from fighters, both real (Tito Ortiz, George Foreman), and kind of real (Booker T). Now former WWF Tag Team champion (and one-half of The Steiner Brothers) Scott Steiner has taken to his Twitter account to sound off 140 characters (or less) at a time on the controversy enveloping his former adversary.
It should be noted that Steiner is no stranger to controversy himself, and has a history of beefs with Hogan. He sounded off on the disgraced wrestler before it was trending (back in 2012), and named him in a lawsuit after being injured by Jeff Hardy, when he alleged that Hogan (amongst others) allowed Hardy to wrestle while intoxicated. On top of that, Steiner was banned from this year's Hall of Fame ceremony after confronting Hogan's wife Jennifer McDaniel at an airport, and (again, allegedly) threatening to kill Hogan.
So yeah, this guy already didn't like Hulk. He didn't need any added motivation. So for him these past few days have to be a somewhat satisfying revelation. He started with a tweet when the story broke on Friday:
And then picked it up again yesterday by suggesting Hulk and Donald Sterling go out together, like Romeo and Juliet:
That "Vince" tweet is certainly a reference to this.
And, in case you've forgotten, the "jail house tapes" would be a reference to this other less than flattering Hulk moment.
