Savio Vega breaks his silence for the first time ever on the Puerto Rico Wrestling scene and the murder of Bruiser Brody!!! The highlight of the shoot interview was his take on the entire Bruiser Brody murder. Savio was the only guy who took the stand and he gives his amazing recount of the entire incident including shocking new details on his meeting the day of the trial with Jose Gonzalez in the bathroom of the court house and what was said….Savio goes into great details on what it was like to hire Jose years later for the IWA promotion and what happened in secret meetings at Victor Quionnes home. The stories are non stop during this interview. What really happened to Bruiser Brody and why….

We talk all about his start working for Carlos and what it was like to work with all of the legends like Stan Hansen, Abby, Chicky Starr, Rip Rogers, and everyone else who worked for WWC during the 80's. You will hear first hand how he got his start in the WWE and what happened behind the scenes with him and Scott Hall. This eventually lead to a near parking lot brawl at a strip club as Savio talks on who was watching his back from a limo across the parking lot. This story is nuts and has to be heard to be believed.

We talk all about his run in the WWE and we made sure to talk all about his major program and angles with all of the top stars like Bret Hart, Steve Austin, JBL and so many countless others. What happened backstage the night that ECW invaded during his match and who almost ran into the ring to shoot on the ECW stars?

The interview really gets intense when Savio addresses why he was let go from TNA. He talks all about getting fired for all of the wrong reasons and you will be shocked when you hear why he thinks he was let go. This has never been talked about before and Savio makes some shocking statements during this part of our interview.

Savio has been around the business for over 3 decades and has worked with everyone under the sun. If you love hearing tons of backstage scoops and major stories on all of the top workers from his day this is one interview you can't miss. The highlight of the shoot is the entire Brody murder and what really went down in the locker room that night and all of the fallout that happened on the island for years to come. This is a 5 star shoot interview!!!

The Savio Vega Story

matthew ruiz (bronx, NY) 11/29/2010 12:51 AM

Savio Vega gives a great interview that is informative and revealing! He talks about getting started in his native Puerto Rico and becoming a huge Caribbean star. He made his debut for Carlos Colon's WWC promotion and became the character TNT and had big feuds with both Carlos Colon and Abdullah The Butcher, both of whom he has great respect for! He also spent some time in Mexico and Mid-South Wrestling. It was in PR that he met Bruiser Brody and Brody took him to Japan, which he enjoyed, and gave him valuable advice to advance his career. Savio talks about the night Bruiser Brody was killed in the dressing room during a wrestling event in PR. He also confirms the rumors that several American wrestlers were warned to change their stories and not to testify against Jose Gonzalez, the man who stabbed Brody. Savio says he was told to change his story but refused! He eventually came to the WWF, first as the masked ninja "Kwang", and later as Savio Vega, both characters he liked. He enjoyed the Vega character as he was marketed towards kids with the idea of trying to help keep them out of trouble. He was paired with Scott Hall and they were pushed as a tag team and were supposed to become Tag Team Champions, but Hall nixed the idea. Savio holds nothing back when he talks about his problems outside the ring with Hall! Savio talks about being part of the group "BSK", who's meaning is still a mystery! That group included Undertaker, Yokozuna, Kama, The Godwinns and Rikishi! He talks about the politics behind the scenes in the WWF at that time and the problems they had with the Kliq! Savio had a great run in WWF and had great feuds with Goldust, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ahmed Johnson, Jeff Jarrett, Mabel, JBL, Crush and Ron Simmons. He turned heel, which I thought was a mistake and joined the Nation and later formed Los Boricuas which he enjoyed! He left the company due to injury after Brawl For All. Savio talks about wrestlers dying young in recent years. Great interview!

AWESOME SHOOT
