Scott Steiner’s infamous ‘Steiner Math’ promo has been the stuff of wrestling legend for nearly two decades, and now Big Poppa Pump is standing by his calculations.

In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Steiner reflected on the over-the-top promo that took on a life of its own. When asked about its origins, he revealed that the entire thing was thrown together at the last minute.

“No, I just thought about it. I knew maybe an hour before I start thinking about it, they told me I had to do an interview. I come from a highly educated university, so it just made sense. All the numbers made sense.”

But then, Steiner dropped an even wilder revelation. According to him, a Harvard professor actually fact-checked his infamous math, and the numbers checked out.

“And actually, there’s a Harvard professor, I don’t know, because everything you read on Twitter is 100% true, right? So he checked the numbers, said, yeah, they added up. So I’ll take that Twitter feed.”

Whether or not a Harvard professor truly ran the numbers remains up for debate, but Steiner remains as confident as ever that his math was rock solid.

With his son Brock Steiner now on the path to WWE, it looks like the next generation of the Steiner family could be carrying on both the name and the legacy of one of wrestling’s most legendary characters.
