Tommy Dreamer has updated his WWE Universe blog:

An Original Thought

I would like to first thank the nearly 750 people that came to an appearance that myself and the lovely WWE Diva Layla did in Buffalo New York. The store was very pleased with the turnout and didn’t mind that we stayed an hour and a half later than advertised so everyone could get an autograph. It was freezing outside and if you came to see me I had to make sure I got a chance to meet you.

I thought that the ppv was awesome. Jeff Hardy becoming champion was an amazing chapter in his life. I highly recommend watching this ppv or buying the DVD. The WWE Superstars really stepped up and made the show spectacular.

Now on to business from the cliff hanger I left from my last blog. The number one question I get asked is about the difference between Old ECW and New ECW and if I like the new ECW. The best way that I can say is the Original ECW was as amazing time for me and everyone associated with it. Yes ECW was special and it change the proffesional landscape of the wrestling business. We didn’t know it at the time but we were making history. People hold ECW with such high regard because they saw the little company grow and grow to this amazing underground phenom. I recommend watching WWE 24/7 to make your own comparisons. People will always have their favorite sports teams and compare the differences, for example Howard Finkel will say that the 1969 Amazing Mets was the greatest Mets team of all time. I would say that the 1986 Mets were the greatest. Now both teams won Championships those years and proved they were the best but they all had different players and were completly different teams. The same can be said for ECW. Yes ECW is different, no comparison there. As a wrestling fan that I am I enjoy every program. Each show has something different to offer. If the new ECW wasn’t around the world would not have had a chance to see CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Kelly Kelly, Mike Knoxx, Evan Bourne and I hate to admit it John Morrison and the Miz started in ECW as a tag team together. Matt Hardy won his first ever heavyweight title in ECW. ECW was a place for unknowns to become stars in the wrestling business and for veterans to show the world that they are still great with a change of scenery. So in that aspect ECW is exactly the same as it was.

In closing ECW is still everything to me, do I still like performing in ECW? I love it. I have alot to prove and love that the you the wrestling fans never let me forget my roots.

Thanks for reading
