I'm really surprised my local Rochester press hasn't picked up on the story, so I emailed it to a local sports columnist who occasionally mentions WWE in his columns. I found out at work that one of my managers actually knew him as a kid growing up in Caledonia, the neighboring town. He's about the same age. He hadn't heard the news at all, and he still lives in Cappotelli's hometown, where the Flava is a small town hero, having played on one or two state championship football teams and going on to play college ball before winning Tough Enough 3.
