Zachs 2nd Interview with Paul Heymans right hand man in ECW
richard2t: how did you get in the ecw
ECWgabeS: I wrote Tod Gordon a letter when it first started asking if I could do a newsletter while I was at Temple University and he said yes. Then when I graduated he opened the ECW office in his store and I got a job there and never looked back.
richard2t:
What were the Reason Tod left ECW in its prime
ECWgabeS: It was personal reasons, mainly he wanted to spend more time with
is family and concentrate on his pawn shop business. He was working like crazy
and needed to pay attention to those things.
richard2t: When did paul get in ECW
ECWgabeS: I'm not sure the exact date, but he was there before I was.
richard2t: What was Ron Buffone
ECWgabeS: a person
richard2t: yeah
ECWgabeS: well you asked what was ron buffone
richard2t: i mean who
richard2t: is he
ECWgabeS: He was a cameraman and producer for ECW.
richard2t: Who do you say was the main guy back stage
ECWgabeS: In what aspect?
ECWgabeS: In what time period?
richard2t: Power and Main event status
richard2t: 1993 to 1996
ECWgabeS: Well
the main event guys were always Raven, Shane Douglas, Tommy Dreamer, Tazz,
RVD, Sabu, there wasn't just one and Paul Heyman ran the show.
richard2t: Why did sabu leave towards the end
ECWgabeS: Paul fired him because he wouldn't lose to Super Crazy. I believe
Super Crazy is a great talent and it was great to have him on the first Ring
Of Honor show. You can get info on Ring Of Honor at ROHwrestling.com. It is
unfortunate things worked out that way for Sabu. He was really a very influential
wrestler who doesn't get the credit he deserves.
richard2t: How did Ball M get discovered
ECWgabeS: I think Chris Candido recommended him, but I'm not sure. He was
in WWF and SMW before ECW so people knew about him.
richard2t: Why did ECW get smaller talent like Tony mumuluke
ECWgabeS: Cause he rules and is a great talent
ECWgabeS: As Low Ki says, it not the size of the fighter but the size of the
fight he brings
richard2t: No disrespect to him
ECWgabeS: ok
richard2t: How did you become Pauls secartary
ECWgabeS: I can't wait to have Tony Mamaluke in Ring Of Honor for our April
27th show. I think he will have a great match vs. Jay Briscoe. Ticket info
is at ROHwrestling.com
ECWgabeS: I wasn't his secritary, I was a personal assistant. A secratary
answers phones and stuff, an assistant helps out with lots of different stuff.
My job working at Tod's evolved into that role over time.
richard2t: What do you thank the mission was for ECW
ECWgabeS: To make money and stay in business.
richard2t: How did you get involved with ROH and RF
ECWgabeS: I traveled with the RF Video crew when we were on the road with
ECW. They are my friends and they hired me when ECW went out of business.
Then we started Ring Of Honor.
richard2t: Why not try for WWF
ECWgabeS: Cause
I prefer being a part of the underground. I have creative freedom in ROH and
RF Video and that is very important to me and I can't thank Rob Feinstein
enough for that.
