Alex Pourteau on breaking into the WWF, being the precursor to Kurt Angle, working with Steve Austin, the top stars during his run February 25, 2021 The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast with Alex Pourteau Host: JP John Poz Interview available at Tmptow.podomatic.com Breaking into the WWF: It was quite the interesting run I had in the WWF, but I wouldn’t change it for nothing. When I was in Titan Towers for the first meeting I had with them before I signed, the last thing I told them was that I wrestled for four years before I turned pro. Actually Bruce Prichard and Vince McMahon were a part of our meeting briefly, but mostly the agents took us around Titan Towers for the tour. So I waited a few weeks and finally heard back from Bruce Prichard who said, so we’re going to call you Alex “The Pug” Pourteau and you’re going to have an amateur wrestling background as your gimmick.
