Scotty 2 Hotty Joins WWE Performance Center as a Coach

It looks like “The Worm” is making its way home.

WWE announced earlier today that former superstar Scotty 2 Hotty will be joining the Performance Center as a coach. Below is the official announcement from their website, that outlines his career and credentials:

Attitude Era favorite Scotty 2 Hotty — aka, Scott Taylor— began coaching NXT recruits full-time this week in Orlando, Florida. A former WWE Tag Team and Light Heavyweight Champion, Taylor visited the Performance Center as a guest coach in June, and has competed in WWE and NXT as recently as 2014.

Famous for his outstretched hair and crowd-pleasing “Worm” taunt, Taylor became one of the most popular WWE Superstars of The Attitude Era, teaming regularly with Too Cool partner Grandmaster Sexay and WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi.

He joins another former teammate at the Performance Center in the form of Head Coach Matt Bloom. Bloom and Taylor partnered in 2001-2002, while Bloom competed under the moniker of the “Hip Hop Hippo” Albert.

Scotty 2 Hotty is most known for his signature move “The Worm,” which you can see a brief clip of below:

Editor’s Note:

It’s always nice to see former talent return home to WWE and help train the next generation of superstars. Although “The Worm” was one of the most ridiculous moves in wrestling, it was very entertaining, and Scotty 2 Hotty can be very valuable in teaching talent how to get yourself over with the crowd.
