Scotty 2 Hotty might not have been the most athletic or strongest in the ring during his run in the 1990s and early 2000s but, he was one of the most entertaining personas of his era. Scotty 2 Hotty born Scott Ronald Garland hails from Westbrook, Maine, where you wouldn't think hip-hop is a major influence. However, it definitely was for his wrestling character as he was one-half of the tag team duo, Too Cool, alongside partner, Brian 'Too Sexy' Christopher.
His finishing move was a combination of an elbow drop accompanied by 'the worm' which doesn't sound all that fascinating but, he definitely knew how to make a crowd roar. Also, that didn't stop him from becoming a two-time WWF Tag Team Champion and one-time WWF Light Heavyweight Championship belt holder throughout his stint in the WWF/E. These days Scotty 2 Hotty trains newcomer wrestler acts at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and still is a fan-favorite by wrestling fanatics to this day.
