Apparently, there was a 1998 episode of either WCW Nitro or WCW Thunder where Scott Steiner (now a singles performer) was supposed to have a one-on-one match with The Giant, but as goes the theme with this whole 'card subject to change' ideology, Sick Boy (Robert Vick) of Raven's Flock was inserted in The Giant's place instead, so Scott Steiner battled Sick Boy instead of The Giant. However, there was one match (singles) where a babyface Scotty Steiner took on The Giant (then of the Dungeon of Doom at the time) in a WCW Nitro matchup in 1996, and it was for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Belt. Yet there's not an actual singles match where Giant worked as a face with Steiner working as a heel in 1998, not long before Giant himself joined the nWo Hollywood portion of the nWo, while Steiner re-affirmed his being in the nWo Hollywood camp.
Anyway, Steiner defeated Sick Boy via Steiner Recliner, but had WCW not inserted Sick Boy in place of The Giant, I'd say between the timeframe of February 23, 1998 and May 10, 1998, so that is about two months of Giant remaining a WCW face with Steiner being an nWo heel. I think Giant did face a heel Steiner on the March 12th edition of WCW Thunder, but it was more of a handicap tag match pitting The Giant against Hollywood Hogan, Scott Steiner, Curt Hennig, Scott Norton, Brian Adams, Scott Hall and Vincent that ended in a DQ victory for the nWo, I know many smarks hated the run-ins in the late 1990s WCW era, but even I find those said run-ins to be much better than what WWE's putting out today.
