Was Steiner loosely based on Scott Steiner?

I don’t know much about wrestling at all, but not long ago I was shown a funny video of Scott Steiner doing mathematics…



I noticed that Scott Steiner was wearing a chain mail headpiece similar to the one FF’s Adelbert Steiner wears underneath his helmet.
Scott Steiner is a bit of buffoon as far as I can tell, and the Final Fantasy character is as well (serving as comic relief).

I can't figure out if Scott Steiner had already started wearing the chain mail by 2000 (when FFIX was released) or not. I think he might have started to wear it in about 1998, but if I am wrong then perhaps the influence could have been the opposite way!

In part, is Adelbert Steiner lightly parodying his namesake Scott Steiner? Is this a joke? Or is it completely unrelated, but coincidentally highly appropriate?



Just a little thing, really!
