ECW original Danny Doring recently appeared on Busted Open Radio for an interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Doring praised Lita:
“She did so much for our careers, Roadkill and I, as anything. She gave our characters depth; she put us on the map as far as all that goes. So we owe a lot to her.”
Doring commented on Lita appearing on The Bump and watching a clip of her mixed tag team match with him:
“I was overwhelmed by that. It was a mixed tag match and we were in the ring with two amazing women — trailblazers in the business really — Lita and Jazz.”
Doring also recalled when Lita signed with WWE:
“We were absolutely happy for her and supportive of her. At that time, Lita and Jazz were — a lot of the other women [in ECW] were basically valets — they were legit fighters. … So to see them battle it out in WWE and beyond and what they’ve been able to accomplish has been pretty cool.”
Lita and Becky Lynch defeated Dakota Kai and IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on the February 27th episode of RAW, with some assistance from the returning Trish Stratus, giving Lita her first WWE title reign since 2006.
