BIG VITO
-- Vito gives TII host James Walsh a schooling on interview technique before the interview.
-- He was a wrestling fan whilst growing up. After his wrestling training, he went on tour to places such as Japan and Puerto Rico.
-- Tazz was a big part of helping Vito break into ECW as they broke into the business together, when Vito wrestled as Skull. When he left ECW, Heyman owed him nothing monetarily.
-- In regards to his match in ECW with Rob Van Dam, he feels that it was a strange situation for Rob being that he had a split crowd - half cheering for RVD and half for Vito. He enjoyed the match though, and hung in there even though Rob got the pinfall.
-- He really enjoyed working with Johnny the Bull as the Mamalukes, and whilst they now wrestle very different schedules, they still keep in touch and wish to reunite the team at some point.
-- Vito then discusses the comedy segments they did, and gives his feelings on why he felt himself and Johnny were so over.
-- Vince Russo called Vito up and offered him the Big Vito character. Vito told Heyman about the offer, and Heyman was glad he’d gotten a break.
-- When the topic of the Italian Stretcher match against David Flair and Crowbar was brought up, Vito said his main memory of that match was going through a table onto Crowbar.
-- His first title defence on a Pay Per View was against Ralphus and Norman Smiley. He said even though Ralphus wasn’t a wrestler, he felt it was a good match and would love to do it again.
-- Losing the Hardcore title to Lance Storm, Vito’s main point from the whole issue was that Storm was awful at cards. And apparently Sting is the best poker player.
-- When Buff Bagwell complained about having to lose to Vito, the whole ordeal was blown out of proportion as it was simply a storyline problem Buff had - infact, Buff and Vito travelled together watching DVD’s on Bagwell’s personal travel DVD player.
-- The problem with the XWF was that they did tapings with people who weren’t under contract. Hogan, Lawler, Hennig and others left, leaving few people who were in the tapings for future shows.
-- He hasn’t got much to say about TNA except he knows his buddy Vince Russo works there, and he wishes them well.
-- At the moment Vito is working on the international scene mainly in Japan, and if you want to book Vito for your show drop one of the host’s a line for more information.
-- He feels that how he isn’t a part of the WWE is the “biggest mystery in wrestling” today.
-- We then do word associations on names such as Johnny “The Bull” Stamboli, Vince Russo, Rob Van Dam, Vince McMahon & many more.
