ECW original Tommy Dreamer recently appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including facing WWE star Braun Strowman early in his career.
Dreamer said, “I had the earliest of Braun Strowman matches. We joke about it whenever I talk about him but I think he said I was like his third or fifth match ever. And I didn’t work in WWE and I did it on television, and me and the Dudleys and Rhino were all feuding with Braun Strowman. You could see how great this guy was going to be. He’s also had some ups and downs in his career, to the point where WWE lets him go.”
On Strowman’s evolution:
“But I think he’s been firing on all cylinders. Really, really enjoy his work, always have. But he’s now been on a next-level path,” he said. “For a while, he was leaned up, but now he’s put on some weight — I shouldn’t say put on some weight [but] put on some muscle and kept his leanness which for him he’s quick and explosive. As well as people don’t realize how big this guy is.”
