Scorch
Scorch is a former actor, professional wrestler, talk show host, radio show host, and DJ from the Syracuse and Manchester areas. He's best known for his talk show Scorch's PFG-TV and his interactions and connections with multiple celebrities and artists. Throughout his acting career, Scorch played purely villains, mean characters, and tough guys in low-budget shows, shorts, and feature-length films. He starred in a handful of Hollywood productions and music videos such as Suicide Squad, Lindsey Stirling: The Arena, Sandy Wexley, Katy Perry & Nicki Minaj: Swish Swish, Savage Dog, and American Nightmares as background extras, concertgoers, fans, and prisoners. Scorch's first professional wrestling gimmick was a timid rabbi type guy named "Yasha Stein." During his career, he went by the name "Vito Carlucci," as his heel manager gimmick. He was trained by Killer Kowalski and worked with the likes of King Kong Bundy, Triple H, The Road Dogg, and many more. Shortly after getting signed by the WWF, he shattered his kneecap, losing his contract two weeks before his debut on television. Over the years, Scorch has run into controversies surrounding his talk show, believed by many to be a scam for advertisers by lying about its popularity and numbers. His co-hosts, including the likes of Michael Boris and Sib Hashian, a famous drummer and father of Dwayne Johnson's wife, was reportedly denied the money and weekly paychecks Scorch promised them. As of 2019, Scorch has taken a break from acting and other career paths, but publicly says he has interest in pursuing it once more in the future. To date, he still does different iterations of Scorch's PFG-TV and morning podcasts to his website and Facebook.
