Happy Birthday To You

I sit looking for something to write about when I stumble across the list of today's birthdays. Can you believe that one Scott Garland (aka Scotty 2 Hotty) turns 35 today. Thanks to Scotty, today we have the one wrestling move that still makes me scratch my head and say why? Yes he does the WORM. Working for the WWE, he was a two-time tag team champion, one-time light heavyweight champion and one-time tag team champion. Currently he is taking independent bookings. End of this month you'll be able to see his debut with Full Impact Pro in the Tampa area and shows for the Eastern Pro Wrestling on July 31st in Plymouth, Massachusetts. That show will also feature Jerry "The King" Lawler and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. If you're at Disney World today, I'm sure you'll be running into Scott and his family as he is a huge Disney World fan.

"Little Naitch" was also born on this day. He is referee Charles Robinson from the WWE. He got his nickname for being such a huge Ric Flair fan. He wrestled a few times for the WCW and basically was a Ric Flair clone. He had the robe, he had the "woooo" and he used every dirty trick that Flair would use. He had two matches since his second match he was severly injured by Randy Savage on a botched elbow drop in which several of his vertebrae were cracked along with a collapsed lung. He is currently off of WWE TV since he got beat up by the Great Khali on Smackdown a few weeks ago.
