Pro wrestling legend and ECW original Tommy Dreamer recently made an appearance on Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a variety of topics such as how Paul Heyman wanted WWE legend Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to work in ECW before The Rock became the massive star he is today both in the WWE as well as in Hollywood as The Rock wasn't doing anything with WWE at the time, but Vince McMahon still wouldn't allow it to happen.
Tommy Dreamer said:
“Real, real cool revolutionary stuff.” “I remember Paul [Heyman] being like, ‘Give me that guy.’ That guy was The Rock. They were doing nothing with him. Paul saw something with him, even back then, and Vince wouldn’t let him go. Would that have been awesome to have The Rock under the ECW Original banner? Yes, but it didn’t happen.”
