Former WWE Superstar Scotty 2 Hotty recently appeared as a guest on the Wrestling Compadres Slamcast. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On the WWE Performance Center facility and talents currently training there:
“The facility there is unreal. It’s amazing.” Scotty 2 Hotty continued, “I’m working with those guys as a trainer, a guest trainer. And they’re such awesome guys there. There [are] some monsters there. They’re going to be big stars once it clicks. It’s so much fun for me to go in and help these guys and see the lightbulb go off and say, ‘hey, just try this a little bit different’. It’s hard for them, I think. A lot of them weren’t [professional] wrestling fans or [being a professional wrestler] wasn’t their aspirations, I don’t think. And they were approached by WWE to give it a try, so it’s a whole different world. It is very cool though. It’s really cool to be a part of it.”
On what he brings to the table as a Performance Center coach:
“I’m the entertainment guy. I think I can bring that part of it and help out with that part, I think. So much of it’s timing.” Scotty 2 Hotty added, “timing and learning when to do what, that part of it.”
On being proud to see how far Enzo & Cass have gone, and others such as The Vaudevillains:
“I love Enzo and Cass. I know they just went up to the main roster, but I think they’re going to be huge. Enzo can talk so well and Cass is a giant. And he’s actually one of the guys the first time I went to the training center, I was like, ‘dude, you have a gift. You need to realize that and use that.’ And it is so cool to see those guys come into their own and get over with the crowd. As a trainer on the training side, it’s so cool to see that happen. But also, The Vaudevillains – I love those guys. [They are] so fun to watch. Dash and Dawson, again, so [fun to watch]. I saw their match last week and I told them after, ‘you guys are different. Like, do what you do. And, man, go balls to the wall with it.’ They are so believable with what they do and it’s something I don’t think we’ve seen in quite a while, the serious side of a tag team.”
