Tommy Dreamer Says ECW Spurred "Garbage Wrestling," Post-WrestleMania Taz Show, Mick Foley Raffle
- Total Wrestling Magazine recently interviewed ECW icon Tommy Dreamer in the February edition of their magazine. During the interview, Dreamer noted that there was a decline of actual wrestling for a while, and believes that ECW was somewhat responsible.
"I think ECW spurred a lot of garbage wrestling," Dreamer admitted. "Guys would look at myself and Sandman and think that they could put on a T-Shirt and sweatpants and call themselves a wrestler. There's a lot more to it. There are some seriously great workers out there in the UK."
