Former ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer spoke to the Poughkeepsie Journal about a number of topics, including rumors of Dreamer going to TNA, the new WWE NXT show, and the original ECW.

Dreamer on possibly going to TNA: "I have been contacted by TNA. May go there. If not, I'm very, very happy and content. I'm seriously working every weekend up until right now to September straight. I did two movies, I've been writing two films that I'm hoping to get sold."

Twill's Two Cents: Dreamer publicly disagree with TNA's decision to move to Monday nights, saying they should have stayed on Thursday and ran occasional Monday specials. Based on the ratings so far, he has a point, but I disagree with him. I think the move will be positive in the long run.

Dreamer on WWE NXT: "I think the production behind it, everyon'e dream and all the footage, that's cool. But, it's not like a Tough Enough challenge. I think they're just doing it on the fly because I don't think THEY know what they're doing. Ok, what's the winner get?"

Twill's Two Cents: Very fair and logical criticisms of the new show. I mentioned when the show first launched that I didn't think WWE really knew what they were going to do and I guess Dreamer noticed that too.

Dreamer on the original ECW: "Again, the original ECW was a great place for men and women to get noticed. Stone Cold Steve Austin was first handed a microphone in ECW and became that character. Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, myself, Taz, the Dudley Boyz. A lot of men...Chris Jericho. A lot of men and women started in ECW and moved on to bigger and better things."

Twill's Two Cents: These comments are nothing new from Dreamer, but he went on to compare the old ECW to what WWE seemingly tried to do with building new stars in ECW before sending them off to other shows. Dreamer seemed more bitter in this interview than others he has done in the past.
