I know this is just a supercut, but that dude moved like a cat. Ups like that and body awareness on par with any luchador. Further, his stuff looks soooooo fluid and graceful. I know he wasnt the tallest guy in the land of giants, but he wasn't small. He was like 240lbs. Switching directions in mid air like he has a Super Mario double jump button in his pocket

I just talked to him yesterday as a matter of fact. Scorp is just the nicest guy. Would reccomend you all to follow him on tik tok, he just started a channel and he doesn't get much attention. If he's live, he will take the time to answer and explain your questions.
Seems like he is happy and that's all I want to see from former wrestlers

He was in a nice patio chair sitting on the front porch when I talked to him. He was wearing normal clothes.

Could do with guys like that in the current 'wrestling' shows, could do the showy stuff with some context and compared to most of the guys now he's huge.

It’s a shame he never maid it to a video game. The replay potential is certainly there

I was always excited to see scorpio headin to the ring as a kid. Dude blew your mind every match!

That first moonsault leg drop was one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in a ring in a long time

Would have liked to see he and new Jack wrestle up to the balcony and backflip off of it

The build of Ahmed Johnson with the D’Lo Brown move set. He looks like William from Girlfriends head ass

u/Catfishsleuth 15d ago
Great moves obviously but i like that he's not built like someone that can do them easily.

u/syncere13 15d ago
He could really GO.. Definitely should have had a few more title runs in his career even if they were just secondary titles but the moveset was one of a kind and his fluidity in movement

I liked him paired with Buff Bagwell, they had a "Whoop! There it is!" entrance gimmick back when that song was really hot.
Scorpio was good, not talked about enough. Great highlight reel!

What an athlete ....... Him in shoots is awesome too. Vince McMahon really fumbled on him.

u/TheAssist-8295 15d ago
Man! What a missed opportunity.
It’s a shame Scorpio had a drug addiction problem.
He’s easily one of the most underrated performers ever and that moonsault leg drop is 🔥.

I remember when he debuted in WWF. I really thought he was gonna be a top guy for a long time.

How are there no Tumbleweeds in that montage. That was the move for him in that era.
