[JunkNewsflash!] Matt Cappotelli Feels Terrible For Johnny Nitro

Archive

Matt Cappotelli, the former OVW Champion who was diagnosed with brain cancer, feels just awful over the recent events that have happened to his co-Tough Enough III winner Johnny Nitro.

“It’s just sickening,” said the stricken Cappotelli, who was beaten to a pulp on Tough Enough by Bob Holly while Johnny Nitro stood in the corner and watched. “It’s a tragedy. John had it all. He was part of the most dominant tag team on Smackdown with a kick ass gimmick, he had an incredibly beautiful and famous girlfriend that hundreds of thousands of men would kill their wives for, and was making more money than I’ve seen in a year in a month. To have to find out that your girlfriend is allegedly cheating on you with a guy old enough to be your dad who you don’t have to work with at the moment because he got injured at just the right time, man, that’s rough.”

Capotelli, who was supposed to fly to Stamford to record videos for his WWE debut the day after doctors discovered his brain cancer and yet he said it was lucky because it is all part of God’s plan for him, continued. “I’m glad he and Melina were ‘fired’ together. Obviously they’ve decided to work through their differences instead of splitting apart. Now they’ll have a couple of weeks to talk things through and relax on the beach, and after that he’ll probably wind up on RAW and immediately win the Intercontinental title. But there’s always the possibility that he and Melina will break up, and in all honesty, that would be the worst thing I’ve ever heard.”

Capotelli, a firm believer and practitioner of Christianity without having to have been born again, something of a novelty in the wrestling business, a man who promises to do everything he needs to do to return to the ring one day despite the doctors telling him it is impossible, added, “I want Johnny to know that my thoughts and prayers are with him and Melina. No matter what happened, I am sure that their love will get them through this insanely difficult trial. If my wife cheated on me, I don’t know how I’d react. I mean, it’s a little different because being associated with Melina has garnered Johnny hundreds of thousands of dollars and a title belt within his first few months of working for the WWE, so it’s kind of financially responsible for him to work it out with her, but it all comes down to love.”

Capotelli paused, then said, “A broken heart is more deadly than any other disease on the planet. I’m praying for you John.” He then went to go lay down as he wasn’t feeling all that well.
