Speaking to John Poz on Two Man Power Trip, Scott was asked about being inducted.

"It was great. I got inducted in the Dan Gable Hall of Fame in Iowa when I got a call from WWE. The fact that Bronson [Bron Breakker] was the guy to introduce us made it all that more special. It was a good night," he said.

When asked if he was surprised to get the call and that it was many years in the making, Steiner replied, "Yeah, that was self-induced. After I went to WWE when they bought WCW, I went up there hurt and wasn't as mobile. I was pissed off, and it took a while for me to get over that. It's never good to hang onto that stuff. Since Bronson was there, It made the decision that much more easier."

Scott returned to WWE in 2022 after the company had purchased WCW and fell down the card after an initial program with Triple H.

The Steiners are two-time WWE Tag Team Champions, seven-time WCW Tag Team Champions, and two-time IWGP Tag Team Champions.
