Greene later stated that, despite only spending three of his 15 years in Pittsburgh, he had the “time of his life” playing for the Steelers and wanted to accept his Hall of Fame ring from the franchise. His departure from Pittsburgh was due to the salary cap and the Steelers decided to concentrate on younger players, Greene felt hurt by the organization but continued to hold them in high regard, despite knowing the business decision.

Greene had a few brief World Championship Wrestling stints (WCW). He debuted in WCW with fellow NFL alum Steve McMichael as a tag team partner, but McMichael turned on him in favor of joining the Four Horsemen.
