Tommy Dreamer told ROHWrestling.com, “I’m very proud of Ben “Action” Ortiz being in ROH top prospect tournament. That tournament has produced some of the better in ring talents in wrestling…Ben has a MMA background and has fought in several kick boxing fights. He is the real deal. Ben reminds me of Bam Bam Bigelow and Samoa Joe. Given the right platform Ben will be the next big thing in the wrestling business.”
