The Flying Scotts (George and Sandy) were a very successful tag team all across Canada and other territories. However, it was behind the scenes where both brothers had a greater impact in the business. George Scott was working for the World Wrestling Federation during the time of the 80’s boom, and was an asset with booking, production and is widely considered to have been a vital part of the team. Sandy Scott would later work as an executive for World Championship Wrestling. Regardless of where they worked, or whether it was in the ring or out of it, there are few who generate more respect than the Scotts.
