On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, ECW legend Tommy Dreamer weighed in on Darby Allin’s promo on last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, where the former TNT Champion referenced Cody Rhodes, and the fans began chanting Cody’s name when Allin yelled at The Young Bucks.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how Darby Allin had fans chanting for Cody Rhodes during his recent AEW Dynamite promo: “Sometimes it’s okay in the world of pro wrestling to change your real story but if you think about it, he could’ve changed it with one name: Tony. All’s he had to do was ‘Thank God I had a boss who believed in me.’ And the fans would’ve chanted Tony instead of Cody.”
On dealing with crowd chants in ECW: “I always knew I had the people to chant three letters: ECW. If I had to say something, I would direct it to Paul [Heyman], because Paul was my boss.”
On how Allin didn’t maximize his promo time: “I wouldn’t say he failed; I would say he didn’t maximize. Darby is an emotional person he — again — telling the truth, and there’s different ways to go about it. The fans love Darby.”
