Pass out the cigars ... hold the Worm jokes
by Mike Fazioli

NEW YORK -- Scotty 2 Hotty rolled his eyes and sadly shook his head. There was that damn question again.
"No, she can't do The Worm yet," the proud new father said of his baby daughter, Taylor. "You're only the millionth person to ask me that."

Clich-ridden questions aside, Scotty was still beaming Monday night at Madison Square Garden, over three weeks after Taylor's birth on Dec. 20. The first child for Scotty and his wife, Terri, weighed in at a healthy 6 pounds, 13 ounces, and timed her big debut perfectly for her Pops. The episodes of RAW and SmackDown! shown over the holidays were taped on Dec. 21-22, but Scotty got to stay behind with his newly-expanded family.

There is, however, one benefit of being back on the road for the new father.

"I get to sleep in on the road," he said. "At home the baby keeps us up a lot, but on the road I get to sleep until noon if I want. I definitely can't do that at home."

Taylor's arrival also gives Scotty the opportunity to share his borderline-manic Disney obsession with someone slightly more age-appropriate. Taylor's room and closets are already amply-stocked with Disney paraphernalia, including a Dumbo costume for her first Halloween-which Scotty bought even before Taylor was born.

"I'm sure she's going to hate Minnie Mouse later on," he said.

Almost as much as he hates it when people ask if Taylor can do The Worm.

Congratulations to Scotty and his wife on their new baby girl, Taylor.

Scotty has sprained his wrist and will be out for a bit, hopefully not too long, as it appears that he is getting a lot of air time. It also seems that Scotty and Albert are a permanent tag team, Albert both has Scotty's music and he is now in his new video, ooo, well he's no Grandmaster but it's nice to see the WWF actually put Scotty on Raw and Smackdown.

From Press Herald:
Scotty 2 Hotty is a WWF wrestler and a lifelong Mainer whose real name is Scott Taylor. He travels the country all year to take part in WWF events, which he readily admits are "prime-time soap operas" where half-naked men beat each other and berate each other. But Taylor's wife is expecting a baby around Christmas, so someday he'll be faced with the
same question as the rest of America's parents.
"Would I let my children watch it?" said Taylor, who lives in Windham when he's not grappling. "I don't think so, not until they're the right age. It's up to me as a parent to say, `You're not going to watch this.' " But Taylor, who will be wrestling for the Light Heavyweight Championship at a WWF event at the Cumberland County Civic Center on Sunday,also defends his profession. "During the day you watch a soap opera and the characters are in bed with each other, and kids are home during the day," said Taylor. "But nobody cares because they're not doing the ratings we are."

Scotty's neck problems have been reocurring lately. It is an injury he will have to live with like Stone Cold's knee problems and which may have to resort to surgery. Fingers crossed for Scotty that he keeps in good health and is able to carry on working at this time.
From WWF.com:
Scotty sore, but OK
In this week's Ross Report, Jim Ross wrote that Scotty 2 Hotty has been experiencing some inflammation in his neck over the past few weeks.

Scotty confirmed the story to WWF.com, but says he's able to work through the pain.

Scotty missed four months this year, from March until June, due to a herniated disc and a bulging disc.

"It's funny because this is the building (Savvis Center) where I told them (about that injury)," Scotty said.

Back then, his spinal cord was in such bad shape that the pain shot down his entire left arm. But now, Scotty says that only his neck is sore, and it's not nearly as bad as it was last spring. He doesn't think he'll need to miss any ring time, and he even wrestled Sunday on HEAT.

Congratulations to Brian, his wife is pregnant and expecting in October. Brian feels that this time he has off may be a blessing in disguise. Congrats to his family and I wish them lots of happiness.

From the Pro Wrestling Torch newsletter:
In a recent Jakked/Metal taping, Chuck Palumbo immediately kicked out after Scotty 2 Hotty pinned him. Scotty, who was trying to get his new second rope DDT over as a finisher, was said to be furious afterward. The match plans called for Palumbo to get his heat back by hitting Scotty with a superkick.Observers note that Scotty took the kick,
but then no-sold it by immediately standing up.

-- As reported before, Jerry Lawler and Brian Lawler (Grand Master Sexay) were both backstage at Smackdown! last night. Word is that Jim Ross was pushing Vince McMahon to re-sign them both, but ultimately it is Vince's decision alone. Speculation is that issues still need to be addressed because there are a lot of people who don't want them back.

Not much new news, Scott is doing many matches on Heat and Jakked, I'm guessing until they can find a storyline for him to do.
