Scott Bednarski

James Scott Bednarski best known by the ring name Scott Putski, is an American professional wrestler. He is a second generation wrestler, being the son of his trainer Ivan Putski, alongside whom he has wrestled on several occasions. After attending college at Texas Christian University, where he played football as a running back,[1] Bednarski trained under his father Ivan to become a professional wrestler and eventually debuted in 1986 in Texas All Star Wrestling where he teamed up with his dad Ivan. On May 28, 1991, he had a tryout match for the World Wrestling Federation, defeating The Brooklyn Brawler, but was not hired. In late 1991, he debuted for the Dallas-based Global Wrestling Federation. On March 20, Putski and Terry Simms captured the Tag Team Championship from the Coast to Coast Connection ("Hollywood" John Tatum and "California Studd" Rod Price). Less than a month later, on April 17, the belts were held up following a match between Putski and Simms and the Goodfellows (Gary Young and Steven Dane). Young and Dane would go on to win the rematch on May 1 and become the undisputed champions.
