Page was upset at Steiner for making comments about him on the air. The Page-Steiner problems resurfaced last week when Page refused to work house shows against Steiner because of comments Steiner had made to his wife in the past. Steiner went on the air & improvised a promo saying that Ric Flair better not insert Page into the match. He took some shots at Page in the process, suggesting that Page have a sex change "so he has the balls to come & face me." He called on Ric Flair to send Page to the bush leagues where he belongs. He made fun of his "badda bing" catch phrase & said he'll always be white trash. He begged Flair to make Page his next opponent. The comments were improvised. Page is not scheduled to face Steiner at any time. Steiner just wanted an excuse to rip on Page on the air. When Steiner returned to the back, Page approached him. He sucker punched him. Steiner retaliated against Page & pummeled him until wrestlers separated them. The fight itself lasted about 30 seconds, before more than a half-dozen wrestlers intervened & pulled Steiner off of Page. All sources for the story agree that Steiner dominated Page. Page had a huge mark on his face from the fight. "Steiner tried to take his eye out," says one wrestler. One report said Steiner filed his nails earlier in the day & if he hadn't, Page might have lost an eye. Page was bleeding when he got up. He left shortly thereafter with buddy Kevin Nash. The general attitude among some wrestlers backstage in reaction to the fight is that Page got what he had coming. The perception of Page is that he is coddled & privileged & gets his way when push comes to shove. He also, perhaps unfairly, receives heat because of comments by his wife, Kimberly. Some wrestlers also expressed that Page shouldn't have left the show early, causing a disruption of the booking plans, considering that he instigated the backstage situation. Steiner, though, was clearly taunting Page by making his unscripted, unauthorized on-air comments about Page needing a sex change operation. Page, though, has also made unscripted, unapproved comments recently on the air - he was told not to talk about Scott Hall, but he did anyway. One source says: "They have to fire Goldberg & Page to send the right message. Steiner has been under control up until now. He has a bad temper, but he's been willing to do business lately." The source went on to say that he doesn't consider himself a friend of Steiner's, but has 50 times more respect for him than Goldberg or Page. PWT0rch [30th December 2000] Page & Steiner were both at the Dec 22, Thunder tapings. They were cordial to each other & apparently reached a truce. Nash was also at the show. Observers say Nash & Steiner appeared to be on good terms despite Nash leaving the Dec 18, taping with Page, after the fight. For what it's worth, Nash told others that he left with Page because he didn't think there would be anything for him to do on the show without his tag partner being present. Some believe Nash may have been instrumental in talking Page out of filing a criminal complaint against Steiner, as Page threatened to do shortly after the fight. WrestleZone [8th May 2012] “Scott had insulted DDMe’s wife (C word). DDMe tried to exact revenge by sucker-punching Scott backstage. DDMe counted on A) landing one good shot and B) other wrestlers breaking up the fight before Scott could hurt DDMe too badly. Problem was, DDMe’s punch wasn’t so good. And nobody wanted to break up the fight because everybody wanted to see DDMe get his ass kicked. Nobody stepped in until it became apparent that Scott was intent on plucking out DDMe’s eye. Cooler heads prevailed, but barely. The night Scott pounded DDMe was the same night I refused to shake DDMe’s hand backstage. I got fired. Scott didn’t. That’s OK. Both events combined to make the night a good memory as far as I’m concerned. I love Scott Steiner. Holla if you hear me.” - Mark Madden
