Tommy Dreamer felt a sense of nostalgia for the original ECW during this week’s ‘Tuesday Night War’ between WWE NXT & AEW Dynamite.
During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Dreamer was asked about the two shows going head-to-head and said it reminded him of ECW trying to win over audiences. He said,
“It reminded me of back in the day 1996, ’97, when Tommy Dreamer and Paul Heyman used to go into the studio and we spent several hours of my life in the studio putting together this thing called ECW, and it was much different how you edit footage. Then once eight o’clock came, everything would shut down because Paul Heyman would turn on the television and we’d be flipping back and forth, back and forth.
“It reminded me of that. For me, I’m hardcore. I watched them both back-to-back. I watched ‘NXT’ first and then I went right to ‘Dynamite.’ Personally, I did not like watching both at the same time because I enjoy pro wrestling.”
WWE NXT decisively defeated AEW Dynamite in the war for ratings and viewers.
WWE SmackDown will go head-to-head with AEW Collision next month.
