Dreamer talks Hawkins / Styles:


Tommy Dreamer says he holds no hard feelings with Curt Hawkins for leaving HOH...

"Yeah, but like I've told a lot of people, until I'm able to pay people enough money or give them a salary, they have to do what they have to do. I lived through that in ECW. He was getting married. Eventually he wants to have children. He needed to go back. Until you have the financial security as a business owner to provide people with jobs, you can't hold that against them. If he left WWE tomorrow, I'd use him the next day. It's ok."

He also spoke out in relation to the Joey Styles controversy...

"I thought it was complete and utter BS. You can't fire somebody from an independent company unless you're giving them full-time salary. It did not have to be made public. It could have just been 'hey, after the show I'm not going to use you anymore, thank you, and goodbye.' But that wasn't the case. If there was ever a person who is a great human being, an amazing husband, an amazing father, an all-around great person, it's Joey Styles. There was people then calling him racist, homophobic. If there was ever a miscast upon somebody, where it got him to be so, I want to say upset, not even mad about the business, where he just stopped being on social media because he was heartbroken as an individual. It was all BS, could have been avoided, should have been avoided, but it's ok because he moved forward."


Regal talks WWE in UK controversy:


Some feel WWE's actions in the UK are being done to try to handcuff ITV's new wrestling show before it starts. William Regal says WWE only want to give talented people a chance to show it to a wider audience, and they can work with others if they want to...

"There is zero restriction on anybody working anywhere, except for these companies who won't let these fellas work for that one. They are free agents, just as long as we need them for certain dates, we'll give them plenty of notice. This is not the "Big Bad Wolf" coming in to try and take away everything from anybody. This is to give these fellas, who we think are the best, some money in their pockets."


Sullivan blasts Hulk:


Kevin Sullivan says WWE should not take Hulk Hogan back because he is a racist, and he will always be a racist...

"Here's the thing, and I don't give a sh*t what Hulk says, I know Hulk. I knew him when he was a guitar player at the Rocket Lounge in Tampa. I know this guy. This wasn't a one time only incident, using the n-word. He said it to me a couple of times about who I was hanging out with back in the day. If they do bring him back, I think somebody is going to bring it up and say that wasn't the only time he used it, come on."
