ECW alum and current Ring of Honor wrestler Steve Corino was recently interview by Monday Night Mayhem. He touched on several subjects of interest to out TNA fans. Here are some highlights courtesy of The Mayhem’s official correspondent, Paterson from New Jersey.
Paul Heyman in TNA:
“I go with what I read and stuff like that. If Paul goes to TNA, I definitely think the demand that he needs full control is true. Paul Heyman is one of those guys that is at his best when he is captain of the ship. I haven’t watched TNA much, and I watch when I know friends of mine are going to be on like (Alex) Shelley or (Christopher) Daniels, but I’ve lost interest because there willl be something that doesn’t make any sense, like there was a three-way between Doug Williams, Kazarian, & Daniels, and it was so good and then Shannon Moore runs down for no reason, and that made me change the channel. Paul needs that creative control so things like that won’t happen. He always had an exciting brand of TV, and his booking is one of those things that only Gabe (Sapolsky) can follow. I think TNA could only get better with Paul Heyman as the captain of the ship, and I think you give Paul the captain hat, and you let Dixie run the business, and let Paul edit & write TV, that place is gonna be a fun place to be.”
Has he been contacted about the ECW/TNA invasion angle:
“Yes, you (Monday Night Mayhem) just contacted me about it. You’re the only one. TNA doesn’t know my number. No one calls me. I’m so removed from the whole ECW thing, I think I would be the last person they would call. My career was two years in ECW, and I don’t think those guys like a Dreamer, or a Taz, & The Dudleys (Team 3-D) were the crew before me, so I don’t even think I’m on their radar. I don’t even know what can be done again. What can you do again? The company has been gone for ten years. I appreciate they keep the legacy alive for the fans, but for me, I always like to look forward and never look back, but no one has contacted me.”
His thoughts on this and other ECW revival attempts:
“The horse has been dead, and we keep kicking it and trying to pick it up. If anybody really had a chance to do something with it, it was the WWE back in 2001, when it was fresh. And they did a nice job in 2005 (trying to bring it back and brought some of the original guys back), and it just didn’t work, and there’s one reason it didn’t work. Unless Paul Heyman is in control, it’s not ECW. People talk about how Dreamer was ECW, and Taz was ECW, and Jerry Lynn was ECW. No Paul Heyman was ECW, he was the one that made everything go. It’s so hard to imagine a ECW Invasion without Paul Heyman being the head of it and being in charge of it. Do I think it’s going to work? I don’t know, it hasn’t spiked my interest, and I don’t know many that it has besides looking to get that call. But, it’s one of those things that if it works, I hope it works for everybody.”
