ECW original Tommy Dreamer appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss several topics, including WWE and ECW’s arrangement back in the day.
Dreamer said, “What it was told, you know, for a bunch of us — they were gonna give talents that they were interested in, or talents first right of refusal, so they didn’t go to WCW. The deal that was told to me by Paul Heyman … It was: if talent get over, they wanted to send people to us, and if talent got over, they wanted first right of refusal — whether they want them or not — greatest example: Al Snow.”
On the TNA and WWE partnership:
“[TNA] is ecstatic, you also got to think about the opportunities for the men and women across different platforms… So, across the platform you gotta be excited, you have to be; there’s a lot of cool stuff you can do and cooler stuff on the horizon.”
