BUSTED OPEN PODCAST 04/16/20: Shane "The Hurricane" Helm
Tommy Dreamer discussing his comments he made against Zack Ryder: "I jokingly made fun of Zack Ryder which I always do. It's called shooting on the square about when he just recently spent $40,000 on action figures and how much money he put out there for a Rhythm and Blues Greg the Hammer Valentine action figure which was like $14,500 which he was outbid. People are bringing up what I said and saying I look like a real dick for what I said. Number 1, I hired Zack and Curt (Ryder) into WWE. I feel he will definitely land on his feet because of what he did for his own brand. He brought social media to professional wrestling. But, I was also kind of playing with Zach, and coming up, which will be released tomorrow, they asked me to cut a promo for them on their podcast heeling on Zack for what an idiot he is for purchasing that stuff, and I talk about when he is fired from WWE he is going to regret that. So, I was asked to do this, and I did it, and I know people are going to jump all over it on social media. Just like I was asked to heel on Luchasaurus on Being the Elite, I was playing the role and that went into what we were discussing with Ronda Rousey. So, that is not my personal character, which I'm sure will be attacked, but I'm putting it out there already and I welcome any personal attack to discuss it like a man, but there are not a lot of people that want to know the true story."
Shane "Hurricane" Helms on whether he understands why he was released: "I completely understand. Nobody is buying tickets. There are no live events. I understand cutting costs...I was basically paid to sit at home and do little to nothing. That can only last for so long. So, I completely understand...I would review scripts and give feedback, but other than that, there was not a lot I was able to do. Most of the producers they kept were Florida producers and lived there and they didn't have to travel."
