Shoot with Tito Santana (2007)

Overall a great interview-It was interesting on his background & how he got into the business-He was careful with his words when you got into the drug & controversial questions like Kerry Von Erich,Randy Savage, ect- I thought it was funny when he said Kurt Hennig enjoyed his whiskey & he was honest about the Ultimate Warrior Not respecting the business--/ In Closing it is great to see one of wrestling's nice guys/hardworking guys doing so well. I am glad he saved his money and him & he family are set!! Arrrubbba!!!!

Tito Santana gives an open and informative interview regarding his entire career! He talks about his athletic background in Football and going to college with fellow legends such as Ted Dibiase and Tully Blanchard. He talks about getting started in the San Antonio territory under Joe Blanchard and then going to the Florida territory. He eventually went to the WWWF for Vince McMahon Sr., whom he had great respect for, and became a big star and won the Tag Belts with Ivan Putski and had great matches with the Valiants and the Wild Samoans. Great stories of Capt Lou Albano always getting fired and rehired! He has fond memories of Andre The Giant. He left WWWF for the AWA and had great matches with Nick Bockwinkel, Jesse The Body Ventura, Adrian Adonis and Dino Bravo. He talks about going back to WWF and having great matches and feuds with the Iron Sheik and becoming Intercontinental Champion and having hot feuds with Greg the Hammer Valentine, Magnificent Muraco and Macho Man Randy Savage. Those feuds were drawing big houses and the IC Belt was even hotter! He talks about teaming with Rick Martel and forming Strike Force and becoming Tag Champions! Strike Force was really over and they had great matches with the Hart Foundation, the Islanders, the Bolsheviks and Demolition. Tito talks about the split of the team and feuding with Martel. He had matches with other wrestlers such as the Warlord, the Barbarian, the Mountie and Scott Hall. He talks about becoming El Matador and hating the character since Vince wasn't pushing it and had foolishly stopped pushing Tito! Tito had a great career that included a 10 year run in WWF and he deserved to be treated better and he deserved to be in the Hall of Fame. I'm glad he's doing ok and doesn't need to wrestle anymore, especially since he made his money and his mark! Highly recommend this interview for anyone.

tito santana was one of the greatest babyface wrestlers of all time! this was a genuine shoot with honest answers and nothing held back. during the wwf 80's-90's heydays, tito was one of the top stars who was greatly responsible for making the intercontinental belt one of the hottest belts in wrestling as his feuds with don muraco and greg the hammer valentine were hot and selling out arenas everywhere! tito definitely deserves his fair share for making the wwf hot. he also talks about the tough road schedule and drug problems the wrestlers had to endure. he also talks about how difficult how randy savage was to work with, tito was also greatly underappreciated and misused as he deserved to be treated much better than he was during the early 90's when they had him jobbing. he was a great worker and deserved his hof spot. great interview overall!
