"I didn't have relatives in the business" - Former WWE manager opens up on his 'mentors' Owen and Bret Hart (Exclusive)
Former WWE manager Oscar spoke at length about how he learned all about professional wrestling from Owen and Bret Hart during this week's episode of UnSKripted.
Oscar managed Men on a Mission during the 1990s in WWE and credited the Hart brothers as his mentors. The wrestling veteran revealed that he got into the business by "accident" and was grateful to have received guidance from two of the most gifted performers in the industry.
Oscar's family didn't have a background in wrestling, yet he managed to get signed by the biggest company in the world during the height of his managerial career. Here's what the ex-WWE personality had to say on Sportskeeda Wrestling's weekly Q&A show with Dr. Chris Featherstone:
"Owen was my mentor. Him and Bret were my go-to guys when I was training because you've got to remember something," said Oscar. "I wasn't grandfathered in. I didn't have relatives in the business. I didn't train, you know, I didn't know none of that. I came into the business by accident. Basically, a guy off the street and then you come into the wrestling business, but Owen and Bret were my mentors, and they taught me the ropes and the way to go and all of the other stuff."
