“Anybody that says anything different don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. You got a glimpse of some of it. It was Brad Siegel and all the higher-ups. Trust me, when I first went in there in ‘87, ‘88, we heard right off the bat the only reason we got it is because Ted Turner liked wrestling. Then we found out none of the executives wanted it. They were under him, and the only thing that kept it was Ted. When AOL forced Ted out, they had no more power. The executives got what they want. Look where AEW’s at right now. They’re at the same station. Just because the executives are not there no more," said Steiner.

Steiner faced Booker T on the final episode of WCW Nitro.

Elsewhere during the interview, Steiner commented on Bron Breakker's run on the main roster thus far. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
