So, they did get a WWF tryout. I wonder why that never worked out.
My guess would be Vince's standard "too ECW" rejection he's had for most of ECW's cast-offs.
Also, both Durante and Wolfe had several run-ins with the law after their departure from ECW. Wolfe did return to ECW near the end of its existence; if I recall, he was involved in a very lame feud with "Blue Boy" and Jasmine St. Clair.
Quote:At the USA Pro Wrestling event in Queens, New York on 9/26, Philadelphia-based worker Billy Reil (who was trained by Durante) announced that Durante had passed away and led the crowd in a \"Pitbull\" chant.
That's pretty cool to hear.
