Current MLW wrestler Real1, formerly known as Enzo Amore, was a guest on a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, where the former WWE performer shared a story about Scotty 2 Hotty and his merchandising success as part of Too Cool with Grandmaster Sexay (Brian Christopher).
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Real1 on how much Scotty 2 Hotty earned from his merchandise as part of Too Cool: “Scotty 2 Hotty told me how he worked for WWE and he was booked all the time on the road doing dark matches and live events and [was] never booked on TV, and he said he was booked for three years straight and never got on TV, and he was waiting for a shot. And then he started doing the Too Sexy/Too Cool/The Worm. He said he made more money in one quarter of a merchandise check than he did for three years wrestling and doing dives off the top rope.”
On what he learned from Scotty’s story: “When I heard that, I promise you that I stopped giving a f— about what anybody had to say about pro wrestling in general. … I sell it. I sell. I’m glad you’re a great wrestler, dude. Learn how to sell.”
