Gregory Iron sits down with ECW Original and former WWE Superstar--Tommy Dreamer!

 

Tommy spends some time with Greg chatting about his locker room routines and superstitions -- like how he has not washed his knee pads or wraps in over 20 years -- his biggest fears, his Goldberg-esque winning streak that began in 1989, training with WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz, how Rocky Johnson almost killed his dream before it even began, and his roles behind the scenes over the years.

 

What did he learn in terms of psychology from the likes of Paul Heyman, Mick Foley, Terry Funk, Greg Valentine and Rick Martel? What was it like shutting the lights off on ECW at a house show in 2001? How did Tommy help guys like The Young Bucks and WWE Raw commentator Vic Joseph? What does Tommy think of AEW? And what major video game company approached Tommy and ECW about being one of their launching titles before they took a deal with Akklaim? All this and more will be discussed!

 

Before the interview, Greg and Aaron ring in the new year discussing a Tommy Dreamer clinic that Aaron attended in 2005, advice that Dreamer gave a young EC3, and a Hulk Hogan lie that examines the size differences between Hulk and Terry's "python."
