Former WCW and ECW Superstar Scotty Riggs recently took some time to participate in an exclusive interview with PWMania.com. Riggs talks about Sting in WWE, working with Paul Heyman in ECW, the backstage attitude in WCW vs. ECW and more. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Working with Paul Heyman:

I came into ECW after talking with RVD, Tommy Dreamer and Paul Heyman at an event in Atlanta and it was an honor working for the evil creative genius of Paul. He actually sat down with me and helped me with my character, moves and attitude… something few office guys beyond Arn did in WCW.

Backstage Attitude In WCW vs. ECW:

The crew in WCW when I got there in 1995 were a tight bunch of guys but by the end in 1999 a big divide had happened because of too many “bigger than thou” players had come into the company and created a separation in the locker room. Not all the in coming talent had the “better than thou” attitude and were actually great teachers and friends… but the entire ECW locker room and crew ALL had the attitude of wanting the best for the whole of the show. They welcomed me lime I belonged and that was humbling to me. I was honored to be considered extreme.

Sting in WWE:

Sting is one of the few men in the wrestling business I’m blessed to still know as a friend and as I told him the week of his WWE 2K15 announcement that this whole WWE deal was and is a well deserved honor for his blood, sweat and tears that he gave to wrestling. I’m very happy that he gained this honor for his character and today’s fans can respect his work.

Scotty Riggs also talks more on his friend Sting, WWE, Eric Bischoff, his time in WCW, his current health, what he’s been up to recently and much more. You can read the interview in its entirety at this link.
