Wrestling
stars Scott Steiner and Hulk Hogan had plenty of in-ring battles over
the years, but their rivalry has spilled over into real life with Big
Poppa Pump allegedly making a serious threat toward the Hulkster.
According
to TMZ, the former WCW world heavyweight champion approached Hogan’s
wife, Jennifer, at a San Jose, California, airport on March 26 and told
her that he was going to “kill” the creator of Hulkamania when he
landed.
Hogan
was coming into town for WrestleMania 31 and its ancillary activities,
including the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony in San Jose. Hogan
went on to present former Mega Powers teammate “Macho Man” Randy Savage
on March 28.
As
seen in this Instagram photo, courtesy of WrestlingInc.com, Steiner
appeared to be banned from the SAP Center, which is where the Hall of
Fame ceremony was held: The Hogans contacted police after the alleged
threat, and they are now investigating Steiner for felony terrorist
threats. Despite the serious allegations, Steiner is dismissive about
the situation, per TMZ.
“Typical
Hogan. He’s just a punk,” Steiner said. Steiner and Hogan worked
extensively together in WCW as members of the New World Order, and they
had a working relationship in TNA as well.
It
appears as though some personal issues arose along the way, and they
led to what can only be described as a bizarre situation.
Real-life
feuds are commonplace in the professional wrestling business, but it is
possible that Steiner may have taken his beef with Hogan too far.
