As a fan of the original ECW, I recently had the pleasure to sit down with one of the stars of the original ECW, Danny Doring. Doring, and his partner Roadkill, were the last team to hold the ECW World Tag Team titles. Doring also wrestled briefly in the WWE’s ECW brand before being released in November of last year. Doring now wrestles on for several indy promotions, including MCW (Maryland Championship Wrestling) and NWA Upstate. This interview took place November 24th after Doring wrestled on NWA Upstate’s Holiday Hangover show.
1. What made you decide to become a pro wrestler?
Childhood dream. You get up one day. You finally find a means, you find a school, make the sacrifices, you go forward. You go to the school, you kick ass and you make it baby. You don’t take no for an answer. You don’t knock on the door, you kick it down.
