– During a recent interview with The Ten Count’s Steve Fall for Wrestling News.co, former WWE Superstar Savio Vega discussed late WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall helping him get a tryout with WWE in the 1990s. Vega credited his WWE career to Hall, and he also revealed some criticism Hall game him after his tryout match, stating the following (via WrestlingInc.com):
“I did my first match, tryout, and when I come back from the ring, Scott was waiting for me in the back and chopped me. As soon as I walked in, he chopped me, hard. I look at him and say ‘What was it?’ He says ‘What the hell is that?’ I say ‘What do you mean?’ ‘Where’s the TNT that kicked my ass in Puerto Rico? Where is that TNT?’ I said ‘Well, I just wanted…I don’t want to be tough or rough.’ He goes ‘No, no, no. Bring me that TNT.’ I said ‘Okay, I will.’ He said ‘Tomorrow you have another tryout.’ I said ‘Alright.’ So I bring TNT the next day, I did the heel stuff, the kicking, the blah blah blah, whatever. He comes by and says ‘That’s the TNT I want to see.’ I said ‘Alright man.'”
Savio Vega made an appearance last Saturday at WWE Backlash in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
