Scott Norton Discusses His Return To Professional Arm Wrestling, Im Going To Open Some Eyes
The latest episode of former WCW President Eric Bischoff’s podcast, Bischoff on Wrestling is now available and features appearances from pro wrestler and The Greg Gutfeld Show’s Tyrus and former WCW Superstar Scott Norton.
During Norton’s appearance he discusses his intent to return to the world of professional arm wrestling. Some of his comments have been transcribed below.
SN: When you get out of wrestling… all of the highs of just being in the arena and all… it’s a rush. When you’re done you’ve got this empty feeling and you’re looking for this adrenaline rush again. I was watching the WAL on ESPN and I see these guys and I’m going, “If I go back to work I think I can stick these kids.” So I did. I’ve been really hitting it hard for about a year and a half now. I’ve got some injuries that I’ve got to train through but my wrist, hand and forearms are better than they’ve ever been. My upper arm strength is coming along and I may not be the “Old Flash” but believe me when I say I’m going to open some eyes.
Eric and Nick start the show off by talking about Goldberg’s old school 86 second squash match style victory over Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. As well as Goldberg’s announcement that he has entered the Royal Rumble and what his WWE future may look like
