—Steven, in " Tiger Millionaire" |
"Tiger Millionaire" is Steven's wrestling persona, introduced in the eponymous episode "Tiger Millionaire". He fights as a tag team partner to Amethyst, who is known in the ring as "Purple Puma". They together are known as the Jungle Duo.
Appearance
To become Tiger Millionaire, Steven wears a little mask of a tiger nose with teeth, a reddish-pink collared shirt with rolled up sleeves, purple suspenders, and a purple tie emblazoned with a dollar sign, all in addition to his usual jeans and sandals. He also slicks back his hair with margarine. In the ring, he carries around a variety of thematically appropriate props, such as a pink suitcase embossed with a gold dollar sign and a gigantic cell phone.
Abilities
Unlike Amethyst, Steven never uses his Gem powers in the ring. Instead, since "anything goes" in the ring, Tiger Millionaire helps The Purple Puma by using various props. For instance, he bribes one opponent with a suitcase filled with "a million jungle bucks", and then opens the suitcase in his face, knocking him over. When another opponent runs away from The Purple Puma, Steven "accidentally" hits the opponent with an enormous cardboard cell phone. In another match, he hits his opponents' heads with coconuts using a badminton racket. Later, he throws the business section of a newspaper into the ring, causing his adversary to slip.
