NXT’s Scrypts Gimmick Inspired By Former WWE Performance Center Stalker
It appears Scrypts has an interesting origin.
The WWE Performance Center stalker has been arrested several times for trespassing on WWE property. Armando Alejandro Montalvo routinely sneaked onto the facility, where he smeared his faeces on the walls and was even shot in the stomach by an Orange County Police Officer for his troubles years ago.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that SCRYPTS’ gimmick on WWE NXT this week was actually inspired by Montalvo.
“Okay, he was playing the guy — okay, so you remember the real stalker who was defecating on the premises and doing all that crazy stuff and he was arrested multiple times? That was the gimmick that inspired — that idiot inspired a gimmick that’s out there doing flips.”

Following SCRYPTS’ appearance on WWE NXT, many people came to the conclusion that Reggie, the Raw superstar renowned for his impressive acrobatic skills, was the man hiding behind the mask.
