In the overall scheme of things, Tommy Dreamer and The Franchise are opposite characters.
- Grabbing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To me, there are certain things you lay claim to proudly and others you hope the people look over them, and for me, the NWA title throwdown is something that I wear like a badge of honor and what we did and what it achieved for ECW at the time, and ultimately we failed, but damn, we came close to grabbing those keys to the kingdom.

With what we were doing in ECW, the first thing you had to overcome was the fear of getting hurt.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I gravitated to the pro wrestlers and the grappling - Hulk Hogan 'hulking up' always looked cornball to me - and I wanted to see Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, and Harley Race go move-for-move.

If I went out and tried to be 'Shane Douglas the Superstar' when it wasn't my time, one of the veterans would have put me back in line.

Harley Race was eloquent in his moves - everything made sense, like a hand in a glove.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Chris Candido - besides loving him like a little brother - I used to sit and watch him in awe because it was so effortless for him. He could wake up from a nap and go out and have a five-star match.
- Best

I always thought the fans deserved the best I can give them.
- End

Optics can drive an economy.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People think all wrestlers are millionaires. It's really a blue-collar existence.
- Die
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have seen enough people in my business die that I don't sit back and hope that this one or that one goes but not the other guys. I don't want to see anyone of these guys die.

- Nov 07, 2020
I think Ric Flair has been tarnishing his legacy since 1990 - he has done more to tarnish his career then anything I could have said or did, then anybody could have said or did.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was a kid in the business, you always had in the back of your head this feeling that if I screw up, I might be fired. So you went out every night and tore your rear end up to make sure that you gave the best performance you can and learning constantly because you never had that idea of 'I'm so great, I'm never going to be fired.'
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To be someplace for ten years or to work anywhere for ten years is a tough deal. But to work in the WWE for that long, knowing how their dressing room is run with this top heavy, condescending 'do this and nothing else' attitude, it gets tiresome.
- Company
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Historically, Vince McMahon's company has always been where the Hulk Hogans get the push and the Paul Orndorffs and Jake Roberts does the pushing.

Everybody has the prerogative for their own career in this business, and I firmly believe that to this day. But if you and I give each other our word - call me corny - I think you have an obligation to uphold that.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I know this sounds corny, but if I give you my word I am going to do something, you can take it to the bank. Whether that means if my giving my word puts me in a detrimental position, I'm still going to follow through on my word, and I'll let the pieces fall where they may.

Vince McMahon could care less about the ECW legacy.

In TNA, if I wrestle, I'm able to help one person. As a road agent and head of talent relations, I can help an entire crew.
- Back
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember, in 1993, sitting in the back watching him; I'd never met him. He hit a triple moonsault. I jumped out of my seat. As a fan, I've always been a huge mark for Sabu.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The fact I've carved out a niche in the business and had an almost 30-year career and done well without competing at a WrestleMania is something I'm proud of. To be in a business that's dominated by one guy and be able to do well without having to walk on that stage is great.
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had no desire to leave ECW, but in '95, I was reaching my mid 30s. I'd been the World Champ multiple times... I'd pretty much done everything in ECW - all I could do is repeat.

- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When Paul Heyman came and gave me the whole idea for the character, 'The Franchise,' I remember the NFL was just starting to classify one of their players as the franchise player. So that was the whole idea, that 'The Franchise' was the franchise player for ECW.
- Head
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'The Franchise' is that guy that never had an off switch. Whatever pops into his head, he says. Whatever he wants to do, he does.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I got my break in the business with the now-defunct Bill Watts' TWF, the old Mid-South. Which was really, in many ways, the predecessor to ECW in its time, in that age. It was a really cool, high-impact, snug type of product.
- Personalities

- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Bam Bam Bigelow truly deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, and if that call would come, I'd be honored to do it, but I don't think it is going to come. I think there is a much greater likelihood that Vince would look elsewhere, but I am honored that the fans would want to consider that I should be the one to induct him.
- Getting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A morality clause is a grey area that the powers that be say if it is immoral, than it's immoral, and you are getting fired.
- I Am
- |
