Vinnie Massaro On Training Cain Valesquez.
Vinnie Massaro is one of those performers in the business where you didn't know his fingers have shaped up some of the most well-known competitors.
One of those competitors is Dominik Mysterio's God son, Cain Valesquez.
During an Interview with Last Minute Wrestling Podcast's Frank Mandolini, Massaro described how he trained Velasquez:
"When I got him, he had like literally nothing so he didn't know anything about pro wrestling. I taught him a lot more of the basic stuff.
I showed him a couple of things here and there, some arm drags and stuff like that.
But, once he got to Mexico, I think he got in the ring with some of those Lucha guys.
He trained with some of the other wrestlers psycho-clown and they taught him some stuff like that."
Side note, Seeing two POCs talk about their culture in an era of Italianphobia content like Tony D'Angelo is bittersweet (by the way, that entire sentence was sarcasm but for real though).

Companies INTERESTED In Bronson Reed!?
The man that mutes a Hispanic woman every Monday, has reported on Fightful Select that Impact Wrestling are interested in Bronson Reed (or Jonah Rock as he's known within the independence scene) and NJPW has "made a big play" on bringing Reed in.
Talk about a guy that should've been at the very least, NXT champion.
While yes, he did win the North American championship but that reign lasted longer than That's 80 Show so.
Toxic Attractions' Jacy Jayne Probably Missing Halloween Havoc.
In some unfortunate injury news. The OG "wrestling review show starring a white dude that rants", Bryan Alvarez, stated on the Wrestling Observer Live a few days back that Toxic Attraction's Jacy Jayne's Halloween Havoc status is "unclear" following a bad fall during a triple threat match at this past week's episode of NXT even though she underwent a CT scan.
Like I always say in my injury report news, I wish Jacy Jayne nothing but the speediest of recoveries.
Quick Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday.
Y'all thought that a draft would've executed a somewhat interesting program? Psst, gamer word, please!
There's no reason why the opening segment is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament.
You know it's sad when Brock's beating to Adam Pearce is longer than Liv Morgan's few minutes of women's main event fame back in July.
And do not get me started on the Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch title exchange which has caused both women to actually argue with each other backstage.
That could've easily been avoided had they actually made the decision to have Sasha Banks win the Smackdown women's championship at Crown Jewel.
Shotzi Going To Be A HEEL!?
"ALL CAPS" Mike Johnson of PWInsider has noted that Shotzi is going to be presented as a heel on Smackdown given that the team of Shotzi and Tegan Nox are no more.
Why Shotzi as a heel? Well, if there's one thing I've learned from the creative and clearly, risk-taking title exchange segment is that Vinnie Mac knows what he's doing.
What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy? Anyways, stay safe smarks.
