Former WWE star Scott Putski has opened up about his reasons for choosing pro wrestling as a profession.
Scott, son of wrestler and trainer Ivan Putski, is a second-generation star who made his pro wrestling debut in 1986 alongside his father. He competed for a few high-profile wrestling organizations, including WCW and WWF (aka WWE).
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Putski revealed that he got into the wrestling business because of his father, who was also his trainer:
"What got me into wrestling? Obviously, my dad. You know, we were doing this stuff when we were kids. We [used] to go to the matches and get in the ring before the matches and you know, we weren't smart. We didn't do the smartest stuff when we were kids. Me and my two brothers, we [used to] get in there and literally beat the crap out of each other. I mean, we give a clothesline, we were really giving the clothesline. We were really punching each other and stuff like that." (30:30 - 30:58)
