X-Pac welcomes Scott Norton to the show.
Norton talks about his relationship with Road Warrior Hawk. He notes that he actually grew up and went to school with Hawk. He says Hawk was a great guy and it’s terrible that he’s not with us today. He notes that if you were Hawk’s friend you were his best friend, and he was a friend like no other.
Norton admits that working for WCW during the same time he worked in Japan was crazy and tough. He would do a 3-week tour in Japan and then come home to the United States and go to work for WCW as a member of the NWO. He was very lucky because he was working in front of sold out crowds in Japan and then he’d come back to North America and would go right on Monday Nitro as part of one of the biggest factions of all time. He says he was very lucky and was simply in the right place at the right time.
Norton points out that that X-Pac had a great run as well. X-Pac agrees that he had a great career and he’s quite happy with it, even though he admits that he cut his own run short.
Norton informs that he trained non-stop for a couple of years to become an arm wrestling champion. His training consisted of chest, back and shoulder workouts. He’d also do forearm and gripping exercises as well as leg workouts. He’d spread all of those exercises out throughout the week. He notes that the money wasn’t that good but he really loved it. His longest arm wrestling match lasted around 3 minutes.
