During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Tommy Dreamer commented on Kazuchika Okada’s work in All Elite Wrestling so far and how the fans have been reacting to him. He said,
“But I tell this to everybody, we are in the reaction business. If they’re going to boo him at certain times and he is working like a heel, it’s not like he’s working like a babyface, and I love all the stuff that the Bucks are doing with him behind the scenes. He’s getting reactions.”
During a recent appearance on Hornswoggle’s “Going Postl” podcast, Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler in WWE) commented on his release from WWE and having to adjust to being part of the NJPW and TNA locker rooms.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On figuring out who to talk to backstage: “I’m just looking around I go ‘Alright, I know this one guy — ah, he’s busy. I know Dana Brooke — ah, she’s busy.’”
On pressure on himself to deliver in-ring: “If I have a bad one tomorrow, that’s one bad one in three tries, like ‘Oh my God, I’ve lost it! I’m not the guy I said I was.’ And just walking into those locker rooms, it’s a little intimidating.”
On how the experience has been humbling: “Maybe that makes me want to pull out a better match. I don’t want it to be ‘Oh, in that bubble he was good, but now with everybody else, he can’t hang.’ And I’ve come to realize I absolutely can and I’ll be fine.”
