Tommy Dreamer On How Ridge Holland Reminds Him Of Brock Lesnar

ECW original Tommy Dreamer recently appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including The Usos’ segment with Samy Zayn on RAW last Monday night.

Dreamer said, “[Sami Zayn] gets interrupted by Jey and everyone is yeeting. The crowd is so into it and he just says, ‘Hey, man, listen, as a friend, did you do it on purpose? Did you kick Roman [Reigns] on purpose [at WWE Crown Jewel]?’ And then here comes Jimmy. This was an interesting dynamic that they’ve done this.”

On what he would have liked to see differently:

“I personally feel that they united The Usos too soon. I wish I would have seen this drawn out more, but we’re here. And it’s not my job to say, ‘Well, my idea is better.’ I just personally would have liked to see it because I felt there was more drama to it. But we’re here and that’s probably because of Crown Jewel why we’re going to be here.”

On Ridge Holland:

“I remember the first time I saw Ridge Holland and I was like, ‘Whoa, this guy reminds me of a future Brock Lesnar. How big he is, how muscular he was. It was the same show I saw Pete Dunne before both guys got hired. I was like, ‘These two guys have it.’”

On WWE not giving up on Holland:

“I’m very glad WWE did not give up on Ridge Holland because you’re seeing what you get out of him. You know, when he first started, there was an injury, I think, with Johnny Gargano, then the whole Big E stuff — that usually gets you heat and terminated. They still see something in him.”
