Moody really enjoyed discovering and developing new talents. As a manager with decades of experience, this was where his heart always was, and few did it better. So, when he was taken off the road, one of the duties he enjoyed more than anything was a talent scout for WWE. He scoured independent groups all across the United States, forging new relationships along the way.
I assisted in the federation’s Talent Development department, where I scouted future ring talent, several of which are on the top of WWE's active roster today.
One of the young wrestlers he saw immense potential in was a muscular, personable and respectful man with the “it” factor named John Cena.
