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 hed 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 wasnt a wrestler, he felt it was
a good match and would love to do it again.
--
Losing the Hardcore title to Lance Storm, Vitos 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 DVDs on Bagwells
personal travel DVD player.
--
The problem with the XWF was that they did tapings with people who werent
under contract. Hogan, Lawler, Hennig and others left, leaving few people
who were in the tapings for future shows.
--
He hasnt 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 hosts a
line for more information.
--
He feels that how he isnt 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.
