    Scorpio

    Whatever happened to Scorpio? I've heard rumors that he went to All Japan.

    He has been working for Pro-Wrestling NOAH. Looks like he goes wherever Vader goes.

    I believe they are very good friends. They are both from Denver.

    I'm pretty new to puro, so thanks for answering my stupid question. I'm sure it won't be the first. It sucks, most of my friends are WWF marks, so I have to come online to talk to "smart" fans.

    Yup. I'm not sure if they knew each other before working for New Japan together, but when Vader was the top gaijin for New Japan, Scorpio was a trainee/rookie living at the dojo.

    I believe it was also Vader who introduced Scorpio to WCW.

    Vader was supposed to get the title at Summeslam, but HBK threw a hissyfit.

    What?!? Not Shawn Michaels! He would never throw a hissy fit!
    The name of the game is wrestling!

    PowerSlam magazine published a shoot interview with Scorp about 6 years ago. I don't have it to hand to check, but I'm 99% certain that in that interview he said that Vader was directly responsible for getting him into New Japan. I think they may have met originally in Mexico when Vader was working the UWA.
