What is WWE looking for in a potential Superstar these days?
After recently wrapping up his run as a coach at the WWE Performance Center, Scotty 2 Hotty knows the answer to this question about as good as anyone else these days.
The former Attitude Era star and recent WWE PC coach appeared as a guest on Insight with Chris Van Vliet for an interview, during which he was asked what WWE is looking for in talent now-a-days.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
“Well, it might be different now. But when I left there a month ago, they want young. I know that they are doing tryouts for people who have never done this. They are hiring all these college athletes. I have always said that you can’t teach passion, and you need passion to do this. No matter how much money you’re making, if you’re on the road doing 200 shows a year and you’re traveling, which adds about 50 days, you are looking at 250 to 300 days a year on the road. No matter what you’re making in money, you need passion. I think at some point it will swing back the other way and they will go, ‘Where are the men at? We need men’, and then you will see a bunch of guys come in who are a little bit older and more experienced. Putting green on green on live television can be dangerous.”
