On January 23, 2001, Steiner interfered in a tryout match between
newcomers Mike Modest and Christopher Daniels..Afterwards, a paramedic
tried to enter the ring to aid the fallen wrestlers, but was also beat
up by Steiner. The paramedic, however, was not anticipating being "part
of the show" and was caught off guard by Steiner's actions. As Steiner
prepared to leave the city, he was served an arrest warrant for
assault. Scott Steiner later claimed to have believed the man was
actually an actor playing a part.
