Antol debuted in 1992 using the ring name Scott Stud. In the early 1990s, he worked for various independent promotions, including the North Georgia Wrestling Association (a World Championship Wrestling developmental territory), Smoky Mountain Wrestling, and the United States Wrestling Association.

Antol was signed to World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1995 and renamed Scotty Riggs. He was immediately placed in to a tag team with Marcus Alexander Bagwell known as The American Males. Together they captured the WCW World Tag Team Championship once, but only held it for eight days before losing it back to Harlem Heat, the team they won it from in the first place.[2][3] The team broke up in November 1996 when Bagwell turned heel, attacking Riggs and joining the New World Order.[4] After the breakup, the former partners feuded for a short while, with Bagwell usually coming out on top.[5][6][7]

After bouncing around the mid-card for most of 1997, Raven became kayfabe interested in him. During an October 25 (No Disqualification) match on Nitro Raven caught Riggs in a drop toe-hold, sending him face first into a steel chair and injuring his eye.[8] To this date Riggs claims the eye injury was legitimate.[9] At first, Riggs resisted joining The Flock,[10] but eventually joined after the Flock kidnapped him following a match at the World War 3 pay-per-view.[11][12] Raven explained that his "ocular disability" had alienated him from society, and he was seeking acceptance within The Flock. Riggs remained within The Flock until Perry Saturn defeated Raven at Fall Brawl: War Games in a match that forced the Flock to disband.

For the rest of 1998, Riggs again lurked around the mid-card before starting a narcissistic gimmick, constantly admiring his own physique.[13] The gimmick was not particularly successful, and he was eventually released.

In 2000, he debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling as Scotty Anton, aligning with his real-life friend Rob Van Dam. At Hardcore Heaven, Anton betrayed Van Dam, knocking him off the top rope to the floor, allowing Jerry Lynn to pin him, thus ending a lengthy undefeated streak. From there, he joined The Network as a "hired gun". Van Dam gained revenge at Heat Wave, defeating Anton by debuting his Van Terminator.[14] After ECW declared bankruptcy in April 2001, Antol returned to the independent circuit, where he found his greatest success in Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling, becoming a three time TCW Heavyweight Champion.[15]

Scotty Riggs has been battling knee and back injuries. He served as a bouncer at State Line, Temptations, and currently working at Monkey Business all in Hilton Head, South Carolina as he tries to continue to rehab from injuries in his attempt to reunite the American Males.
