Here are some of the highlights from the interview provided by the show's senior correspondent, "Mr. DFL."

---

As the sound of "Jungle Boogie" blares through your PC speakers, you're probably thinking of one man -- and no it's not Kamala. It means that the reigning Pro Wrestling Unplugged (PWU) Champion, 2 Cold Scorpio is hitting The Mayhem airwaves, as The Big Mosh & Blade welcome 2 Cold to the show. Mosh mentions that Scorpio is a former four-time ECW World Television Champion -- as a refresher course to those who want to remember the "real extreme."

Mosh brought up the more important question of the night: where has Scorpio been since his departure with the WWE four years ago? Scorpio gets down & dirty, by saying that he has been over in "The Land of the Rising Sun," meaning Japan. Scorpio mentions that he has been all over the world from Japan to Germany, Germany to England, & more. Scorpio does say the old saying in which "There's no place like home!"

Scorpio talked about his time working in Extreme Championship Wrestling -- he simply defined it as some of the greatest moments in his life & career. The locker room had an overall great energy, and even back then, "him & the rest of the roster were listening to Paul Heyman's lies & bs." Scorpio mentioned that he has not been contacted directly to be involved with the new WWECW -- Scorpio did mention that "someone" is looking for him.

2 Cold did mention that since Vince McMahon owns everything today, and if by chance you happen to get a call to go there and work, the bottom line is that everyone wants to get paid. Scorpio believes that Chris Candido's family should be getting some of the profits from the new ECW project, along with the family members of The Public Enemy. He said that the fans in the United States appreciate what you do, no matter if you win or lose. However in Japan, the fans are a tough crowd to win over -- due to the simple fact that you basically have to perform in hardcore matches and put you body through hell.

Marcus "Buff" Bagwell was the next topic of conversation -- and Scorpio didn't hold anything back at all on his former tag team partner! Scorpio mentioned that Bagwell was a cocky self centered kid back in the early days of World Championship Wrestling, who did not want to listen to know body, including the veterans -- and still does not to this day. Scorpio thinks that "he is a dick to everyone, and is a real man's man -- not a ladies man."

>From "Buff The Stuff" to "Cheap" Mick Foley: Scorpio said that Foley was one of the cheapest guys in the business, but he knew what he had to do and if you wanted to fight then Cactus Jack was there. As far as Mankind, Mick created that character and if he had the chance to wrestle each other could tear the house down. Mick, according to Scorpio, was always there when needed.

Mosh & Blade then brought up the WWE "Brawl For All" from several years back, and how the whole competition seemed like actual fighting. Scorpio agreed, by saying that he requested to be in it and they wouldn't let him, but as all the "top names" started to back out, they needed people to replace them.

Scorpio then talks about the now famous incident in Germany with WCW, involving Sid Vicious & Arn Anderson and a pair of scissors. Scorpio was the one whom who broke the fight up. Scorpio thought that it was Vader who has an attitude and would kick everyone and anyone's ass around, however when he turned and went down stairs and seen that Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair were all on the ground -- and if Scorpio wasn't there at the right place & time, then Arn Anderson would not probably be with us today.

Mosh then turned the talk over to Total Nonstop Action & the X-Division and whom would Scorpio would like to face. Scorpio admits that he would like to work against either "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels or the reigning champ, Low Ki. Scorpio did admit his dream match is against "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Scorpio feels that he & Shawn could tear the house down.

Scorpio then said if he could change something about his career, it would be that he would have never gone on the "Jenny Craig Crack Diet."

Blade & Mosh asked Scorpio for his takes on his past relationship with the late Eddie Guerrero and what he did for his career. 2 Cold will never forget that "Latino Heat" did for him personally & professionally, but also gave his thoughts on how the "E" has used Eddie's memory since his passing. For those "shoot" comments, check out the entire interview on The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network. Scorpio then mentions Road Warrior Hawk, and how him & Road Warrior Hawk did have some bad blood in the past, but thankfully the heat died when Hawk passed on -- and now, he has nothing but respect for his legacy, his accomplishments, & what he did for the business.

Scorpio then closed the interview by giving some advice to anyone that wants to get into the business: "if you're getting into this for the money, forget it -- and if you have the heart & the passion...good luck."
