Tommy Dreamer was a big fan of Mercedes Mone’s AEW debut on last week’s “Big Business” themed episode of Dynamite.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Dreamer discussed how AEW should utilize Mercedes as a “special attraction.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the value of special attractions: “How many times did you see Hulk Hogan on Superstars? He would come out and cut a promo. That’s it, and then he’d leave. Then came the Attitude Era, where you had someone like Steve Austin –- you will see Steve Austin six or seven times on a show and the fans couldn’t get enough of him… Everybody talks about Roman Reigns, the streak, the record. We’re all still going to a sold-out show to see what? Roman Reigns. It has made him special. You don’t want to be the workhorse of that division, you want to be special.”
On Mone’s value to AEW: “She’s upping to be the face of that women’s division. I feel the main money will be with her and Toni Storm, but you can’t get there right away.”
