Scott Steiner returns to the nWo.

Scott Steiner's Retirement A Hoax
While it was heavily rumored and speculated that Scott Steiner would retire this Monday evening on WCW's Nitro broadcast, it turned out to be a hoax after an elaborate retirement angle was played out earlier in the show.

After a promo looking back on his career and with the fans supporting him, and chanting his name, Scott Steiner "retired" on Nitro. With his brother next to him, Steiner claimed he was forced to retire due to his bad back, and his Doctors had told him he risked the chance of further injury if he returned to wrestling.

But it was at the end of the night where Steiner's true colors came out, as he one again joined the New World Order (it's "for life" remember?) by coming out during the Main Event match up on Nitro and turning on Sid Vicious to help the New World Order give big Sid a nWo style beat down in the middle of the ring.
