- Scott Steiner explained to The Detroit News how he started wearing chainmail to the ring.
"In amateur wrestling, you really didn't talk too much trash. Wrestling is a humbling experience: if you get too big, you'll get beat. So I had always had that mindset," Scott says. "But after awhile, once I saw everything in the business, the politics, I had a totally different mindset than when I broke in. I had a whole different attitude, it was more of a rage. And that's what came out."
"I saw it one day, I liked it, and I wore it out to the ring," he says. "It was really that simple."
