ECW legend Tommy Dreamer appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss various topics, including WWE stars Rhea Ripley and CM Punk sharing their struggles with anxiety on WWE: Unreal.

Dreamer said, โ€œThe one part I liked about Unreal was where you had both Rhea and Punk talking about anxiety, going out, but when my music hits, Rhea becomes Rhea. I donโ€™t know her real name, but when that happens, it happens.โ€

On his own anxiety struggles:

โ€œI joke it to people, for me, even performing at small shows, big shows, I normally have to pee right before I go out, and then thatโ€™s where I say I still care. And the moment that happens, Iโ€™m like, great, I still care about walking out. Whether itโ€™s like 400 people this past weekend and on a Sunday, but then at the end, when you see peopleโ€™s faces, when people just want to shake your hand, that place pops for your music, or the place comes unglued because youโ€™re a surprise.โ€
