Here are some of the highlights of Tod's exclusive interview, provided
by The Mayhem's official correspondent, Paterson From New Jersey:
The man responsible for the creation of the original ECW, Tod Gordon,
returned to the airwaves of "Your Home Of Wrestling Radio" for an
exclusive interview as part of Monday Night Mayhem's eight-year
anniversary celebration, and was welcomed back to the program by The
Big Mosh, Blade, "The Chairman Of The Board" Todd Vincent, & MNM's
originals (Chaz & Pharoh). Tod has not spoken publicly in close to two
years, but broke his silence on this special evening with an
earth-shattering announcement...one that could change the face of the
wrestling industry in the forthcoming months ahead. "You guys been
great for eight years. Thank God you had me here to pick up the slack,
and I have a big announcement here tonight: I just got off the phone
with Paul Heyman about five to ten minutes ago, and 17 months from now,
July 2011, we have a huge announcement, and it's starting in August
2011. Be there in July for the greatest collaboration in the history of
professional wrestling...17 months from tonight!"
Last Tuesday night on ECW On Syfy, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon came out
to address the future of the WWE's Tuesday night brand, and in the
process said that ECW would be going off the air next Tuesday night.
ECW Originals Tommy Dreamer & Taz (and many others) have gone public
with their comments about the shutting down of the ECW brand on WWE
television & the final chapter being written in ECW. Tod also wanted to
respond publicly to the decision by Vince McMahon to bring down the ECW
curtain once & for all...one that he believes was well overdue. "ECW
was never about the letters; ECW was a symbol for people who worked
their ass off every night, whether there was 5,000 people there or five
people there. It's about a work ethic. ECW is not about a title; it's
not some game show that Vince did...It's the real deal."
More is contained in this Mayhem exclusive, including the uncensored
thoughts & comments from former ECW World Champion, Jerry Lynn, along
with former ECW World Tag Team Champion, Danny Doring, on the closure
of the "extreme" chapter in professional wrestling &
sports-entertainment.
