Journey Of A Frontman recently interviewed Tommy Dreamer at
House of Hardcore 8 last weekend. Below are some highlights:
His first NXT appearance coming out of nowhere:
"Yeah, it really came out of nowhere. I was just finishing up a
loop one day and they're like, 'Hey, you wanna come down to
NXT?' I'm like, 'Yeah.' That's all I've heard about, NXT this
and NXT that from the fans. Really, if you're gonna make a
splash, you want to do it where everybody's talking about."
His WWE release in 2005:
"Well I was released from WWE for a little incident, but it's
not a secret. It involved alcohol and I was going through a
difficult time in my life. Alcohol wasn't an issue, I just
happened to be drinking. And I was very irresponsible. As a man,
you have to take responsibility for your actions. Every action.
There was no physicality, I just threw a flower pot. I laugh at
it now and my ex-wife laughs at it now. But like I said, you
have to be a man and stand up. No matter what was said or done,
there is no excuse for the behavior. And when you behave, you
have to be responsible. I understand what I had to do, I had to
work hard and work towards the indies. We already had the One
Night Stand booked and I fulfilled my commitment with that. They
wanted me to honor that commitment and we did good business.
"We professionally parted ways. They were good on their part and
did everything as far as they were contractually obligated to,
they did not try to mess around or anything. It was just one of
those things where it was a very good learning experience. But
it was a good situation for me. I made it a good situation by
learning from the mistake and that mistake becomes an error,
then I move forward in my career. I put my nose to the
grindstone and worked to keep my career going. I moved forward,
there's no dispute about it. I began to create some good
memories like working with 'The Monster' Abyss, he's a great
talent. I worked on the independents and developed a great
relationship with the fans. I met and interacted with them, one
on one, on a smaller intimate level. You have that time and you
have that ability. When you're doing the bigger venues, it's
harder because there's so many more fans and it can get
chaotic."
