Tommy Dreamer recently spoke with Wrestledelphia.com to promote the upcoming House of Hardcore 10 event taking place on November 13th. Below are some interview highlights:
Alberto Del Rio’s WWE Return:
“Shocked. Especially considering that he’s the AAA Mega Champion. It’s funny, all of the surprises on my shows end up going back to WWE. The Dudleys, Alberto, maybe Rey Mysterio will be next. It’s a crazy, crazy time in pro wrestling right now. But you always have to remember to never say never.
That’s why I’ve always loved the Royal Rumble. It’s not just about who is going to WrestleMania, it’s about okay, who is coming out next? In the 70’s and 80’s, it was always cool seeing somebody from a different territory come out and you’re like, whoa, he doesn’t belong here! You just never knew what could happen.
The Dudley Boyz WWE Return:
“I’m happy for them. It sucks for me because Bubba is my closest friend and I can’t have him on the shows, but WWE definitely needed them. You know, for all the shows he worked for me, Bubba never took a paycheck. I always offered, but he said no. He was just happy to be having fun again.”
On working NXT matches in Philadelphia:
“About two days before, I got the call. At the time, NXT was the hottest promotion out there so I was pretty excited. I got to face that kid Baron Corbin—I think the world of him. He’s very talented. And that surprise factor of me being there, it’s something I take pride in with my own company. You know, I don’t get nervous before walking out there, it’s just that two seconds of doubt where I pray, please let them remember me. And then I walk out there, and everybody’s screaming, it takes me back to being that 28-year-old kid with a full head of hair.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
