Paul Heyman's X-Rated WrestleMania Analogy & Lacey Von Erich On The Loose: Ten Things You May Have Missed In Wrestling This Week
Featuring the 'original' Ringmaster!
8. Scotty 2 Nicey
Scotty 2 Hotty was great, wasn't he?
He was awesome in the 90s as a high-flying enhancement talent, dynamite in Too Cool and utterly dependable in his utility role towards the end of his WWE career as well.
These days, Scotty is a coach at the WWE Performance Center and was recently given a lot of credit by new Raw Women's Champion Rhea Ripley during an interview with Renee Paquette on the Oral Sessions podcast.
Ripley talked about how she felt lost and alone after signing with WWE and relocating to Orlando, before meeting the master of the Worm.
“I want to say that Scotty 2 Hotty was a massive impact in my career. There was a time at the PC where I felt like many people didn’t believe in me, and no one really gave me the time of day or helped me much. But Scotty 2 Hotty was one that was always there for me.
"Scotty was definitely the one who helped me mentally get through the games that are in wrestling. Every time that I was down or got told that I was crap and I wasn’t learning and that I was dangerous and sucked at everything, he was the one that would grab me straight after and [say], ‘No, you’re doing great. I see you every day, and I know that you’re improving. If you keep on this track, you will be big’. I love Scotty 2 Hotty”.
As do I, Rhea. One of the good ones, for sure.
