Alright, guys, let’s talk about Tino Sabbatelli. You know, I got really into this whole wrestling thing a while back, and Tino’s name kept popping up.
So, I started digging around. First thing I did was check out some articles, and I found out his real name is Sabatino Piscitelli. I was surprised to learn that he used to play football as well, this guy’s a real athlete. I read somewhere that he was born on August 24, 1983. Makes him, what, 40 years old now? Time flies, man.
Then, I went down a rabbit hole of wrestling news. I found out that he was with WWE for a while, which was a big deal. They are like, the top dogs in the wrestling world. From what I gathered, he was signed by them back in October 2014. I stumbled upon an article from INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, dated May 7, 2022. And in that article, they talked about Tino’s time in WWE. That got me really curious about his journey.
I wanted to know more, so I kept searching. I found some reports that talked about his release from WWE. Apparently, he got released not once, but twice! One was in June 2021, according to Sean Ross Sapp, and another time I couldn’t quite pin down the date. There was some buzz in an October 16, 2020 article about him returning to WWE, but then he got the boot again. It’s like a revolving door, right?
I kept reading, and I found out that Tino had some injury problems. Something about a torn pectoral muscle back in April. That sounds brutal. I saw a post saying he might never wrestle for WWE again. But then, in another interview with Chris Van Vliet, Tino said that he probably wouldn’t go back to WWE because of his age. It’s tough getting older, especially in a physical sport like wrestling.
Anyway, I felt like I had a decent grasp of his career, but I wanted to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. So, I listened to that podcast interview with Chris Van Vliet. It was really interesting to hear Tino talk about why he got released from WWE. He went into a lot of detail, and it gave me a whole new perspective on the wrestling business.
I also learned that Mandy Rose, or Mandy Sacs, is a businesswoman now. Apparently she’s been killing it since she got released from WWE in December 2022. Although she’s still feeling the wrestling itch, it seems.

It takes a lot of grit to make it in that business. I gained a lot of respect for these athletes, and it’s fascinating to see how their careers unfold behind the scenes.
