Former ECW star The Blue Meanie recently appeared as a guest on The Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling Podcast to discuss why the BWO got over and being a part of the recent ECW DVD releases. Here are the highlights.
On why the BWO got over:
“Todd (Gordon) and Paul (Heyman) saw the crowd reactions and I think they just saw dollar signs and realized they could make t-shirts. The crowd just took to it. The ECW crowd is kind of like “A Night at the Apollo” where you go out there and the crowd could make you or they could kill you. If they don’t like you, you will know in about five seconds. I was fortunate that that rabid ECW crowd took to us and I think that is because we weren’t trying to be like everybody else on the card. Stevie is super talented, Nova is super talented and I did the comedy stuff and I think we all brought a different element onto the show, we were a little bit light hearted.”
On being a part of recent ECW DVD releases:
“I knew WWE was coming to town for Smackdown in October 2014 and I hadn’t been backstage in about ten years and I’ve got friends that still work there and I did the right thing and I got permission to stop by and I saw JBL. Even though we had our beef back in the day we are cool now and he included me on his web show. After, I was talking to a producer and said you guys have the network and you have these countdown shows so if you need somebody to talk about ECW, so I gave him my card. They called me the next afternoon and said they were doing an ECW DVD and it created another opportunity.”
