  • Curt Hawkins Talks Training Under Bill DeMott, Rey Mysterio Leaving WWE & More

    Former WWE Superstar Curt Hawkins (Brian Myers) recently spoke with Alex Obert of the Journey of a Frontman website while at Tommy Dreamer’s “House Of Hardcore VIII” event in Philadelphia last weekend. Below are highlights from the interview.

    On what he took out of House of Hardcore VIII: “Probably the most fun and most unpredictable good time that any wrestling fan could ever have at a show. I have a blast doing this because I love it. It’s my job and all that, but sometimes these shows are so fun and exciting, I almost wish I could go back in time and somehow be sixteen and go to these shows. It reminds me of how much fun ECW was when I went to the shows live as a kid.”

    On Rey Mysterio leaving WWE and appearing at HOH: “Rey Mysterio is hands down the greatest luchador of all time. If you want to dispute that, tweet me. I don’t think anyone else is comparable. He’s the most successful, he’s the most talented, he is an absolutely special performer. I think it’s a huge loss for WWE and a huge gain for all of us wrestlers that get to be around him and have him on our shows and learn from him and work with him. It’s just a win.”

    On the Bill DeMott controversy: “I trained under Bill and he is what he is. He’s a drill sergeant and he’s tough, it takes a lot out of you. I wasn’t there for all the new allegations, so I’m not too sure what happened.”

    On Zack Ryder being in the Royal Rumble: “I hope the world of him, I’m always pushing for him. He deserves it. He’s a great guy. I don’t think we’d be anywhere without each other. We were very fortunate to find each other and go through this business together. I’m thrilled to see him and I’m glad to see he got the reaction that he got. I always hope for the best.”

  • Update On Daniel Bryan’s WWE Status, WWE Clearing Out His Merchandise, More

    As noted, there is no real update regarding the WWE return status of Daniel Bryan. He was in the Bay Area for the WrestleMania 31 party last week and spoke about how he’s currently opting not to undergo a second surgery, but may end up needing to in the future. Everything regarding Bryan depends on how long it takes for the strength to return in his right arm and hand.

    As of right now, there are no plans for Bryan in WWE and the writers have been told not to factor him into any of the storylines until further notice.

    The company has also reduced the price on all of his merchandise at live events, slashing prices on his stuff by 60 percent to clear it out. This may not mean anything, however, as they’ve done the same thing with Rey Mysterio and Zack Ryder’s merchandise, and Mysterio is expected to return and Ryder is scheduled to be back in about six months.
