Interview with Former ECW Champion Mikey Whipwreck

Submitted By Nick Noel on 03/27/08

Former ECW wrestler Mikey Whipwreck said former trainees Zach Ryder and Curt Hawkins make him feel like a proud father. “It’s like I’m a proud dad,” Whipwreck said in an interview with Newsday. “Those two guys, they started off as goofy kids—like everyone does, I guess, and they just matured, they took the business seriously. And seeing where they are right now, with Edge, it’s really just incredible. “I went to a TV taping up in Connecticut with a bunch of guys an just watched them. It was one of the proudest moments of my life just watching those two guys out there with the top guy in the company. And the fact that they still call me up and ask me for advice to this day, it’s just phenomenal. They’re just two really, really good kids, who’ve earned everything they’re getting in life now, and I just hope they enjoy it.” Whipreck also commented on Colin Delaney using a similar gimmick to the one he had in ECW. “I know (Tommy) Dreamer was kind of involved in it a little bit. I haven’t seen too much of him, but I’ve heard. People have told me. I don’t know if I should be, like, flattered or, like, insulted. I hope for him that it goes well and he does good for himself. I really haven’t seen it so I can’t say if I like it or not. I’m definitely not insulted by it. It worked for me. I pulled it off, and hopefully it gives him a job and a chance to work, and it will work for him too.” To read the full story, visit Newsday.com. :: GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE :: DISCUSS THIS POST ON THE FORUMS! :: BUY WRESTLING DVD'S THROUGH OUR STORE!
