On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, newly crowned TNA World Champion Moose discussed his transition from the NFL to pro wrestling.
Moose said, “Wrestling is not an easy sport. It’s not an easy thing to just jump into. I think what helped me with my football background was the discipline to keep going. I think that’s what helped me the most. You see, a lot of guys get into wrestling, [and] after a month, they quit because it’s too tough. Luckily for me, I came from a background that was just as tough, if not tougher, and it taught me a lot of discipline.”
Moose defeated Alex Shelley to win the TNA World Title at Hard To Kill 2024 this past Saturday.
On a recent edition of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, AEW producer Scotty 2 Hotty discussed the origin of the Too Cool tag team, which stemmed from a conversation he had with Vince McMahon.
Too Cool comprised Scotty and the late Grandmaster Sexay. The two also often teamed with Rikishi.
Scotty said, “What happened was, that day I go to get a coffee at catering at WrestleMania. The way I remember it, there was nobody else in the room and I go to get a coffee, all the lights go out and a spotlight shines down on me and I feel somebody to my left, and I look, and it’s Vince McMahon,” Garland began. “He’s getting a coffee at the same time. I said, ‘Thank you, sir, for putting me on WrestleMania. It’s a huge moment for me. I don’t know if you know this, I used to wrestle as Scott “Too Hot” Taylor in the independents for a while. Brian, at that time, was Brian “Too Sexy” Christopher. I know you have us in the battle royal tonight, I don’t know if there’s anything to it.’ And he goes, ‘Hmmm, let me think about that.’ And next week, we show up on TV, and we’re Too Much, I’m ‘Too Hot,’ he’s ‘Too Sexy.’“
