ECW Wrestlers Talk Hardcore

The other day we were given the rare opportunity to interview ECW's current reigning champion, Mike Awesome, about the origins of his name, what sort of donut he'd like to be, and what influences he had on the making of Acclaim's ECW Hardcore Revolution.

During the course of the interview, he fills his fans in on the roots of his love for video games, stories about being on the road, and other goodies.

Also, we had the chance to talk to Tommy Dreamer. One of the original ECW wrestlers, Dreamer sat down with us to answer questions about Acclaim's new ECW Hardcore Revolution. As the main liaison between Acclaim and the ECW, Dreamer actually has a lot of interesting things to say about the making of ECW's first wrestling game.

During the interview, he talks about his love for chocolate donuts, his plans for the future, when he decided he wanted to be a wrestler, and other special tidbits of information. And finally, ECW's bad boy, Raven, takes some time to explain the complexities of being an ECW superstar. Want to know exactly what goes through the mind of the man who never wants to be quoted?
